Thanks for the information and support.
Knowing that Frank and I can help Olivia by keeping her healthy help us to feel not so helpless!

Hello dear friends

Today i did the CBC for my son after two months of using hydrea and here is the update

The HB is 7.3 (it was 7 last month)
Hematocrit is 23.4%( last month was 22%)
MCV is 60.8 (last month it was 57)
Leucocoytic count 7000 ( last month it was 6,300)
Total Bilirubin 1.8 (last month 2)
Retic count 4.8% (last month 6.2%)

All kidney and liver functions are normal

The spleen is enlarged by 4.5cm and the liver is 2 cm enlarged 

From the clinical observation, the heart is stable.

What makes me really happy (thanks God) is that his height increased by 2cm in two months and now he is in the 50th percentile although he used to be in the 25th percentile. When i asked the hematologist about this possibility, she said yes because hydrea boosts growth

Thank you for your continous support :hugfriend

Sometimes , He breaks our heart to make us whole.
Sometimes , He sends us pain so we can be stronger.
Sometimes , He sends us failure so we can be humble.
Sometimes , He sends us illness so we can take better care of our selves.
Sometimes , He takes everything away from us so we can learn the value of everything we have.
