What does Sickle Cell Trait look like? My grandchildren.

When a baby is born they are given newborn testing of their genetic history through blood. My grandbabies we're tested and found to carry sickle cell C hemoglobin. I knew there was a chance that they'd be carriers, and so did my children.

Nothing can prepare you for the fact that your results came back, and confirm the news. But this time we're prepared. Information about sickle cell trait is known. The stigma has been dealt with. Their lives can be better because of ALL OF US.

We are all part of the solution. With every post, every story, every book. These babies inherit a better place to live because WE ALL LIVE.
