Thank you Andy!

When I began posting on this site my son's transfusion requirement had suddenly increased, his fer was begining to rise and his doctor had started him on large doses of steroids.  Thanks to Andy's advice - which our doctor agreed to follow our son is once again on his normal transfusion schedule - 4 weeks - with a small well timed dosage of steroid.  His fer is decreasing because of the decreased transfusion requirement and the IP6, which was also recommended to us by Andy.  Our son also looks healthier since we began following Andy's advice.  Thank you thank you Andy from the bottom of my heart.  You can't imagine what a difference you have made in our lives - especially addressing all of my desperate concerns. 

I'm sure everyone on this site has been helped by you in many ways,

Thanks Sharmin. You really made my day.    It really helps me to know that I can help out. Lisa gave me a special trust and I try to do what I can to honor that trust.

I would like to mention that the advice to change the timing of when the steroid is administered was passed on to me by Miaki. Our group can be a powerful force when we work together. 

Capt. Thal. Care and his team are the BEST!!!

You are right Sharmin, Andy had made a difference in all our lives. As i said before, it was a mercy from God that i joined this site after one month from my son's diagnosis. Couldn't imagine how life would be. I am really thankful and grateful to Andy and every member in this site .

Guys, i love you all, can't live without all of you

Hello Sharmin,

If you do not mind me asking, what was the reason that your son had to start on steroids? Was the requirement thal related? I would appreciate if you (or Andy) can provide some feedback.

Thanks and regards,
