Some Reports Of Zainab!!

<< < (6/6)

Manal:
Sajid, best of luck keep them up

Zaini, don't worry Ahmad had some fluctuation in his PLT count that ranged from 350,000 to 550,000  last winter and the doctor told me as Andy said to give him Vitamin E and that was to make me comfortable and told me that she will start to worry if the count exceeded one million

Manal

Zaini:
Thanx Manal,

for comforting,

ZAINI.

Zaini:
Hi,

I think i mentioned it somewhere on this forum a few days ago that zainab was complaining of pain in her heels,not ankles or joints but heels,and it got stopped for a couple of days but then she started complaining again and now she complains as often as twice a day, since doctors here say that pain in heels is an indication of low calcium,i got her calcium levels checked,it  was 8.8,same as last checked in june 2007,no increase no decrease,the normal levels start from 8.6,so,could that be the cause of her pain?or anything else?did somebody else ever experienced that kind of pain?
Waiting for your opinions.

ZAINI.

Andy Battaglia:
Hi Zaini,

Are you giving Zainab vitamin D with the calcium? Vitamin D is necessary for the calcium to be well absorbed.

Zaini:
Yes Andy,

She is taking her 400 units of Vitamin D daily,anything else you can think about? which might be the reason.

ZAINI.
