MufasaLion: When the crisis associated with SCA starts , no matter how strong in faith you are , you just won't be able to do anything, LOVE ISNT ENOUGH.... when Crisis start, them go forget about love . |

Sorry about your predicament. Don't beat yourself up over the inaccuracy of the first test result. I know of a person who also suffered the same . What you need is counseling and and a group. Don't listen to any advice promising instant spiritual cure. Try to your wife and limit your family size. All the best. |

Oga I empathize with you , please be kind to yourself, your wife and to your child , for now just take things easy , you and your wife should focus on how to handle the situation and also increase your income because money is needed to care for the new child and seek adequate medical s , Many SS Survive the turbulent years of crises through necessary medical and other s system. About the Future it is between you and your wife , but dont do mstake of adding another SS

Take that decision you would've taken if you had done a second opinion earlier. A lifetime is to far to live in regrets,pain and confusion. You deserve to be happy and enjoy your marriage. I wish you the best as you make the best decision for yourself and your future generation. A stich in time saves nine.

There is a test you can do to test for this. I have a friend who went through similar and had 5 pregnancies with 2 life births cos the test is 50/50 as could result to pregnancy termination even where the foetus is not sickle. I also had similar experience with the test where I was told at secondary school and university entrance by 2 different places that I was AA when this is not the case. Mdcool26: |

@OP, The following items most be, in your house always 1. ASTHYMIN ( the one that does not contain iron) 2. Folic Acid 3. B- Complex Please, give it to him everyday, to help his immune system. Make sure, he avoids cold by any means. No plays inside the rain. Avoid unnecessary mosquito bites, that would result to malaria and typhoid. So He must always be in his mosquito net when sleeping. Please do not allow him over work himself. It would lead a break down. Whenever he complains of ache or cries frequently holding a particular spot, please use hot water and towel to message the place. Do not panic, when His CRISIS BEGINS, because he's looking up to you the FATHER AND THE MOTHER. Please, avoid all this miracle center. Oga sir, the genotype will not change. But if you mange him properly, we are always the best in everything we do. Also note that, growing up, the child will nag a lot, you would wish you should just flush him down the toilet but always make him understand, why he's different. Before I forget, have a private nurse at hand. Someone you can always reach out to. Because when the crisis comes, and you will need to give them drip or fortwin injection, they can help you, with less charge. If you keep going to the hospital, there bills will drain you. Now going forward, you can have another child, to genotype will be favourable but your third child will also carry the SS genotype. Plan well before you continue after the second child. Try and any sickle cell group or just reach out here. Thank you. And my regards to the warrior. 3 Likes |

Dear Op I've been married for 11 years and blessed with 2 children. My son is SS and a girl AA. I decided not to end the marriage when we found out about our genotype after our first child because It wasn't my fault neither my wife's fault because we did the right thing but was given wrong results. Gwagwalada general hospital provides special clinic for sickle cell patients. For your child, it will be Tuesday, with them and follow their guidance, by the grace of God, your child will be fine. 2 Likes |

We are in a very clever generation but always caught up in our cleverness! What happened to you is an issue of what you feared most has happened to you. Bro! Love and separation do not mix; you claimed to love your wife dearly and the first thing you are thinking is separating from her. Let me ask you this question: What medical test can you do to avoid giving birth to an abnormal child? There are bigger problems in marriage than what you just experienced! You only need to man up and face it. Love is the critical attribute you need now to overcome. It conquer all things! Seek medical help on your child and seek God face on your marriage and stick to whatever instructions God is given you and be sure. I am saying this because before marriage I was considering leaving my wife because I was AC and my wife was AS; the possibility of SC sickle cell wants to chase me. This question can to me :What medical test can you do to avoid giving birth to an abnormal child? I believe God after prayers we married! The first 5 years we waited for the first child. Now we have two children! One was AS and the other AC. We planned only 2 and God has given us. My counsel to you is the word of God. Prov 3:5-7. Seek God's face! |

utepu:you don't know what you are talking about. You religious people are part of the reasons sickle cell keep spreading like wild fire. |

Boss the fact remains that you and your wife know that you're both As you guys are just hoping for a miracle. But if what you said is the truth separation is the best option.

descarado: Truly we've never had, but I have seen who did, and the child lived up to 40years. The family loved him so well, had other children, and has money. The boy was also a brilliant chap. They managed the situation well. Make peace with what is, while still believing in what could be. You can have other healthy children while managing the present. |
cyprex: 7:55am On May 17 |
I had similar experience With the help of God, my son who is an SC is doing fine. I advise that you as follows: Squeeze pure orange juice enough into a glass more than half glass. Break a raw native egg into the juice and stir properly. Give this mixture to him at least once in a month. It is not a cure but it help to keep away attacks God be with you 1 Like |

These ppl shouting 'show love to your wife and child up and down' ... does he have any other choice than to show love since the mistake came from his side ![]() Someone also said he should father a child outside and being same inside. That's gross injustice to his wife. Why not the wife get pregnant from outside and bring same inside ![]() My advice: manage the child's crisis very well. Dont lwet your wife get pregnant again. Adoption is cool also. If you are financially stable, very stable, then your options are many. It is well 1 Like |
