New Worries


The screening result says our son may have G6PD Decicciency and further tests are required to confirm. Although noboby in my family or Allie's have the record of this inherited disease, and false alarms in the screening are common, we still have to worry if our son is one of the 3% victim of this disease until we have the results of further tests. I'm especially worried because he still has high bilirubin levels, which may be just because he's prematured, drinking milk from his mother, or a symptom of G6PD Deficiency.
