Micky,

The report indicates clearly that your daughter is a thal minor,so what Andy said makes complete sense.

Quote
To be honest, thalassemia alone would make no sense for this reaction. It could possibly be thal minor combined with another factor.

Doctors need to find this other factor.

Mickey,

Please make sure that the Rh factor has been considered and also the second possibility in bold below. Are bilirubin levels and reticulocyte higher than normal? This may not be related to thalassemia at all and determining why hyperhemolysis has been taking place is most important. Even a thal major would not have this severe condition at this age. Has there been a Coombs test? Has an exchange transfusion been considered?

What causes hemolytic disease of the newborn (HDN)?
   HDN most frequently occurs when an Rh negative mother has a baby with an Rh positive father. When the baby's Rh factor is positive, like the father's, problems can develop if the baby's red blood cells cross to the Rh negative mother. This usually happens at delivery when the placenta detaches. However, it may also happen anytime blood cells of the two circulations mix, such as during a miscarriage or abortion, with a fall, or during an invasive prenatal testing procedure (i.e., an amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling).

The mother's immune system sees the baby's Rh positive red blood cells as "foreign." Just as when bacteria invade the body, the immune system responds by developing antibodies to fight and destroy these foreign cells. The mother's immune system then keeps the antibodies in case the foreign cells appear again, even in a future pregnancy. The mother is now "Rh sensitized."

Although it is not as common, a similar problem of incompatibility may happen between the blood types (A, B, O, AB) of the mother and baby in the following situations:

   

Mother's Blood Type               Baby's Blood Type
   

O                                            A or B
   

A                                           B
   

B                                          A
   
In a first pregnancy, Rh sensitization is not likely. Usually it only becomes a problem in a future pregnancy with another Rh positive baby. During that pregnancy, the mother's antibodies cross the placenta to fight the Rh positive cells in the baby's body. As the antibodies destroy the red blood cells, the baby can become sick. This is called erythroblastosis fetalis during pregnancy. In the newborn, the condition is called hemolytic disease of the newborn.
Andy

All we are saying is give thals a chance.

Mickey,

I am praying that your daughter will be fine.  It must be so difficult having your newborn go through so many tests.  I hope that they diagnose her condition and resolve it very soon.

Mickey,

These last two tests do need to be run. It should have already been done and why it wasn't is not understandable.
 "Kell system antibodies - TEST NOT DONE
Duffy system antibodies - TEST NOT DONE"

http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/974349-overview

Quote
Although the Rh antibody was and still is the most common cause of severe HDN, other alloimmune antibodies belonging to Kell (K and k), Duffy (Fya), Kidd (Jka and Jkb), and MNSs (M, N, S, and s) systems do cause severe HDN.

Is the baby breastfeeding or on formula?

Mickey,

How is your baby doing now?  Have the Kell system antibodies and Duffy system antibodies tests been done? 

Praying that everything will be better soon,
