Sikcell: People living with Sickle Cell

We still Hope

He just turn 9 mo on Friday and Yesterday start to walk forward in his walker.

I'm to happy and I need to share it with you my friends. Yesterday I got crazy seeing my little one going after me in his walker.
It's amazing how his system works fast. Two days ago he was a little bit in bad mood. Is always like that after we went to see his Hem. He definitively doesn't like all the procedures, but soon everything goes back to the normal!!!!!
Despite everything looks fine and the only concern be his hgb level, we keep looking him very close. My husband says I'm almost crazy, because I check my son's spleen every time I change him and once a day I check his temperature, lol.

Yes I agree with you. Some times we get crazy about it. After read your comment I'm trying to hold myself.
Thanks!!!!!!
How is your daughter doing?

Comment by iysha on May 4, 2009 at 12:21pm: I completely understand. For my daughter's entire first year, I checked her spleen every time I changed her too, always expecting to find it enlarged. I even convinced myself a couple of time that it was (it actually wasn't). I regret doing it now, because it did not allow me to be free to enjoy every moment I had with her as I was too busy looking for something wrong and expecting something to happen.

The funny thing is the day her fingers actually were swollen, I was not looking for anything but I just noticed it and I believe that God guided me to see what I needed to. After that, I just stopped searching for things. I do check her spleen maybe once a week now and I look at her fingers and toes every weekend when I bathe her.
