Andy,

I hope that your daughter's blood test results are reflecting the recent cold she experienced.  I hope that everything is okay - please keep us posted on her condition Andy. 

Zaini, I am glad that the gripe water seems to have eased Zainab's stomach aches.  Our doctor has told us that stomach aches are one of the most common complaints in children - and can occur often as children grow.  He said that they are rarely a cause for concern - especially when the child points the belly button when asked where the ache is. 

The doctor felt that the dizziness last week may have been due to the sudden drop in hg- whereas usually his hg drops gradually - the antibody caused a sudden drop this time.  My concern has been the continued dizziness and shakiness after the nice gradual transfusion yesterday and the higher dose of prednisone he began yesterday.  I wonder if the sensation of blocked ears and dizziness are related.  Could he have an inner ear viral infection?  (When the doctors checked his ears they appeared clear). 

The pains always affect a diffent part of the body -  feet, shins, arms, back, hands, ankles.  When the doctors checked him they both felt that in the absence of swelling, the short duration of the pain - which is always changing to a different location, and no pain when limbs are touched - they don't think that it is serious. 

In the past few days two doctors have checked him head to toe, telling me that he looks extremely healthy.  The first doctor, who did not know about his thalassemia before I told him, swore that he would not know that this child has any type if illness if I did not tell him.  I was happy to hear this.    I do however have this boy sitting next to me telling me that he feels weak, dizzy, shaky and at the moment his feet hurt.  He has not been in school for 3 days - and he loves school - he is currently missing a field trip which he has looked forward to for a long time - I know that he must feel terrible when he said that he did not feel strong enough to go and remarked how disappointed he was.    I hope that things get better soon.

I hope also that Zainab and Andy's daughter feel better soon too.

Hello friends,

I decided to take my son to the chiropractor today -  it seemed that he had a sprain in his neck causing the dizziness and 'blocked' feeling in the ears.  The chiropractor agreed that the pains were growing pains - and he gave me some massage techniques to alleviate the pains.  He gently helped with the neck sprain - and voila - my son said that his head, neck and ears feel better.  He has been playing, climbing and misbehaving since the chiropractor visit - things he has not done in weeks!!  I am so happy to have my son back!  :happydance

I guess the sprain was related to him reading a big heavy Harry Potter book with his head leaned forward - he read 2 books within a few days.  I hope that he will continue to feel well  :goodluck  I have been so scared seeing him laying on the sofa crying and afraid to move because he was too dizzy - afraid that he would faint.   :quiver
Going to the doctor was becoming useless  :banghead  And i was beginning to lose it  :hissyfit :hissyfit

Zaini - how's our little Zainab?  Andy thanks for your constant help and support - I am praying for your daughter. 
Manal - you are a always there to support us - I hope that your little darling Ahmad is doing well. 

Thanks you everyone for helping me get through this horrible, agonizing week.  I love you all!!
