My co-workers daughter has Sickle Cell Anemia. :(
Definition
Sickle cell anemia is an inherited disease in which the red blood cells, normally disc-shaped, become crescent shaped. As a result, they function abnormally and cause small blood clots. These clots give rise to recurrent painful episodes called "sickle cell pain crises".
She has been in the hospital since monday
This is the second time in the past 2 years... He is bracing for the worse

Oh no....
The sweetest girl in my class in HS died of complications of sickle-cell anemia in 2001.
She was 22 at the time. :sad:
My deepest condolences...

I can't bear to imagine how the parents are feeling as well. They must be catatonic with despair...
Lia was her name. The most kindhearted, gentle woman, with such a fantastic mind... She had just begun to host a radio program out of San Jose State Univ. Radio. :wtc:
I'm sorry.
Please extend my deepest sympathies to your coworker's family... :happysad:
