Zaini:
Yeah I am thinking the same,I called my cousin who is a doctor too,and she said its mild deficiency and hopefully a couple of shots will cover it.I'll ask her hemo tomorrow.

Hello Zaini

Don't get sad with the result Zaini, it will be corrected so quickly with the shots.

I am soo happy that we are able to have the knowlegde of checking these levels in our children bodies. It is always minor stuff that doctors won't recognize except  when it is a too late and had caused a serious side effect.

I believe we should have a  list or a thread for some vitamins and mnerals that we should check biannually on regular basis. Living with thal for the past three years and all this time no one has ever asked me to check any vitamin or mineral :mad :mad The big problem is that here in our labs we don't check except  vitamin B6 and any other test will be sent to either Franceor Germany,no one seems to have the awarness to regularly check these important stuff

I also advice you to let her in the sun before 10 am and after 2pm. Though we have alot of sun in our countries, sometimes we avoid it cause it feels hot .

Good luck Zaini

Manal  :hugfriend,

Thanks a lot,although the test of Vitamin D is available here but i am unable to find Vitamin D only supplements,Vitamin D with Calcium is available but not alone.Her hemo always suggested Clacium test annually but she never did her Vitamin D.My cousin suggested that i should get my levels checked too.Lets see when that happens  :biggrin.

This site has always helped us getting to know what's good for our kids and what's not. :lovethissite

Hi Zaini,

I don't know that units of measurement for little A's test.  I am at the hospital today so I will check his chart.  The doc says that his vitamin D level is now 3X what it was June/08.  I think that Osteocare made the difference.  He asked me to give him 2000IU daily of vitamin D for the next 2 months and at this time he will reassess.

Zaini:
Hi Sharmin,

Little Z is taking around 600 IU of vitamin D daily,which i guess isn't enough,now i hope as my cousin said a couple of shots will solve the problem .

Give my love to little champ  :hugfriend

Zaini.
