The 'non-gullible' Nigerian, why you dey take dis issue personal? give your own advice if you have none you should shut up rather than using such derogatory terms like 'gullibility' or pathetic ? Abi u expect me to refer her to Pastor Sapiosexual abi Jesus of Pastor Sapiosexual? Mtschew... Abeg clear for road if you no get beta thing to talk jor. undecided

Perhaps you missed it, here was my advice, go through it and receive sense in the name of the pastor you advertise.

Perfectly understand the travails of the mum, as the care for a sickle cell disease child isn't isnt a joke. From the foregoing, it's not out of place to take it that the child is indeed SS and suffered an acute sequestration crisis while playing at school. There prolly was a mix up (deliberate or not) in the previous test done with her spouse. She has to quickly exit the denial stage of grief which she is in right now and accept the reality.
Yes there is a cure for sickle cell disease, (stem cell transplant) however it's not gained wide acceptance in Nigeria and is limited by the high cost of the procedure. A few of our teaching Hospitals offer this treatment (UBTH-Benin, UCH -Ibadan, LUTH -Lagos.) the much I know.However she would have to discuss with the doctors at the primary care hospital on the basics of management for her kid.
On to the last issue - Nothing stops her from having further kids and it doesn't mean they would all turn out to be SS, the apparent chance that she has further SS kids is 1:4(one ratio four pregnancies) for each pregnancy. Interestingly, she could determine early on in the pregnancy, as early as the 5th week if the child has SS or not and it could be treated in the womb (in -utero) or otherwise. These advancements are offered in one or two of our health centres (especially private whose names I can't mention). Essentially, it's not the end of the world

@op this is a very serious matter and ONLY GOD can solve it at this point.

This issue of genotype once cost me a serious relationship, I did test from 3 different hospitals which shows I am AS and the lady I was dating then happens to be AS, we had no other choice as we had to call it off, months pass by and was ready to settle down, church requested for medical report only for me to discover my genetype is AA, I disapproved the report, brought out all other 3 reports showing AS, I was ask to report back after 2week, reported back for another test and results says AA.

I STILL DONT WANT TO BELIEVE GENOTYPE CAN CHANGE NATURALLY EXCEPT BY GOD

Your child should be given folic acid daily... There are also herbs that help contain the sickle cell anaemia patients which works better than pharmaceutical drugs. Keep your child warm always as cold triggers the anaemia and during such periods, there's a herb mixed with whiskey which should be taken spoonfuls or in shots.
I wish the very best in taking care of your child... He shouldn't play too much to avoid pains and he shouldn't play too little to feel left out... Pet him when necessary but do not spoil him.
He should desist from smoking and alcohol if he grows as his system may not have high immunity against cancer cells

See eh, I don't have any problem with dis thread o, shey u understand, buh de problem I hav is dat i'm finding it difficult to understand how possible de husband's genotype mysteriously changed to AS. Dere's evry atom of asi ocha in dis thread. I suspect de husband must have faked his genotype to get married to de lady, for some motives best known to him. Dey should interrogate de husband jare. I have done genotype several times for several reasons and de result never changes. I sha, adonbiliv dis thread

I'm lyk wow!!ppl can lie in this case her husband.an adult male who has never for one reason or the other checked the genotype.
even medicals in the uni,tests for malaria et al give these results.how can an adult male say until he was about getting married he didn't know his genotype if not for the church's insistence.

That's no problem at all because genotype can be changed now from SS to AA or AS and it is done right here in Nigeria in Benin It cost about #2-5m however if you can walk up to any government agency they can actually help you out the genotype can be changed before the age of 15 all you need do is to get a donor to donate a stem cell for the transfusion and your money too ready for the medication pls do not take what I am saying with levity for I teach and even create that awareness OK God will help you Google out the location in Benin and find out how to go about it and if you need my assistance I can help you research-wise I don't need your money only tell me how you think I should help

Honestly speaking, this is what have being going through for the past 17yrs concerning my son, mix up in genotype....first, AA and when we discovered that the boy is SS, we checked and it was AS... but ours is a bit different because up till now we have not recorded any serious crisis(TO THE GLORY OF GOD), The boy is now in the university now hale and healthy to the Glory of God. Let me advise you on three things to do.
1. take the child to sickle cell foundation, opp LUTH @Idi-araba for consultation.
2. Register the child in any General Hospital for periodical check-up
3. Hand over the Child to His Creator with strong faith that He shall live but not die.
Can I plz ask yoy a question. You don't ha e to answer of you are not at ease with it
Have you had any other child since then?

... Just came in now and saw this mention... And also this thread.... . Ummm... It's cool tho.. .

Hey lady with the child "that has sickle cell amnemia". ... Why are you panicking?? I mean.. .. Calm down... just chill... Nothing will happen to that little man.... What I want you to do for me is to always be the one to foster his medication.... I mean be consistent on it.. . give him the required medication day and night.... and your boy will be fine as every other normal kids around... . SICKLE CELL IS NOT A DEATH SENTENCE..... We are strong in our own ways.. . With the proper medications...

I would have lay emphasis on being a sickle cell patient.. but am too tired to type... Just came back from work.. ... I saw some comments about sickle cell.. . And all I did was just SMH in a very slow motion. .

Ignorance is indeed a disease! !!! !

Dominique,I don't believe it an attack. i think the first thing for you is to stop panicking. there is nothing about SS. I am over 40. i have schooled in nigeria and Uk. i am doing extremely well and i am an SS.

FIRST THING FOR YOU TO DO IS TO RE DO ALL YOUR GENOTYPE. YOURS,YOUR HUSBAND AND BABY.

IF YOU ARE AS AS YOUR HUSBAND,IT IS POSSIBLE YOU HAVE AN SS BABY.

Your child being an SS is not a death sentence, your husband just didn't do well by not confessing the truth in time. The responsibility is now on both of you to bear the cross and rise to the challenge

Show love and appreciate the child, be ready for moments when things won't really go well either during the day or night

Protect the child from stress, excess play, hard work, harsh/extreme weather conditions n mosquito bites

Ensure the child takes daily medications such as folic acid, drink plenty of water and fluid and with God all will be well...

Sorry madam for the unfortunate turn of events.
Sickle cell is manageable however it is expensive. Feeding well and taking the right drugs will help.
But you must sue the hospital that carried out the test on you and your spouce before your wedding. That is if your husband has not intentionally doctored the result.

Re: 'Help! My Two Year Old Has SS Genotype' by adepiero: 8:42pm On Feb 08, 2016
First you need to clear the stigma off your mind if not you won't really take care of your child to full capacity.

Being an SS is not a curse or disease, its just a medical condition and presently the best cure is bone marrow transplant. Not sure if there is any specialist hospital that can do that here but for now that is the only solution.

So far he gets the care he needs, he'll surely outgrow it.
