Six year old has BMT for Very Severe AA
Hi Julie:
Thank you for offering the supports. My six year old child (will be 7 year old in July) Emily was diagnosed as very severe AA last October and had her BMT 11/20/2007. She got her Bone Marrow from her twin sister. Last week, her white blood count is 6.5 and her hemoglobin is 9.0 and red blood count is 2.9 and platelet count is 210. I think her hemoglobin and red blood count grow too slow. But her doctors told us it is very normal.
This week she was sent to Child Psychiatry and behavior clinic. And doctors would like to see if the past six month intensive treatments have or will have impact on her normal development. We are very worried.
My other concern is about Emily's social development. She is still in isolation stage and has to be confined in the home without contacting other kids. I am thinking if we should hold her back for one year when she returns to school.
