September is National Childhood Cancer Awareness Month and Sickle Cell Disease Awareness Month. The Alabama Center for Childhood Cancer and Blood Disorders is committed to finding a cure for the more than 1,500 children each year who come to us for care.
Sickle Cell Anemia Hemoglobin SS
Arielle McFarland has a severe blood disorder called sickle cell anemia hemoglobin SS. She was six months old when she had her first pain crisis. While her condition is high risk and complex, she manages her disease well with medication and a monthly red blood cell exchange.
Aplastic Anemia
Avery Tolene was diagnosed with aplastic anemia, a condition that affects the bone marrow, preventing production of red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. Her only chance for survival was an urgent bone marrow transplant. “She is truly a miracle child,” said Dr. Frederick Goldman, director of the Pediatric Blood and Marrow Transplant Program at Children’s.
If your child is a picky eater and you have concerns about whether they are getting enough variety in their diet, Jackson recommends talking to your child’s pediatrician about their nutrition. In this case she says a multi-vitamin may do the trick. Watch video.
