Thanks Jade
i am fine now and the kids are back to school. But unfortunatly my son'r Hb has dropped after the summer cough and infections. It has reached 7.8 with the hydroxyurea but it dropped to 6.6 again last month in addition to a zinc defiency which i am working now to correct.
This Zinc deficency is driving me crazy because as soon as i correct it, it goes down again
As for the H1N1, actually it is still there. Until today, 1007 people (with 475 people coming from abroad and the rest locally) has been infected and only 3 have died. Now there is more worry cause school has started and the government is afraid it will be more spread especially in December and January. They are also afraid that the virus would mutate with the bird flu which is there in some villages
As for me i am very concerened about my son's immunity now. I am trying to work on strengthing it by natural ways as much as i can because i believe he is a critical case cause he does not eat that well, nor able to take viamin C in big amounts, nor he has a high HB as with thal majors since he is not transfusing and in addition to all of this he is on hydroxyurea and is unable to take the flu shot cause it is a live vaccine. So all of the above just scares me what if he gets infected
So that all about me these days, hope things become much better
