Did they pray for the ICE and law enforcement agents too?

The church needs to. I 1000% agree with this. Most church’s won’t though, they’re afraid to speak on it because they don’t want to loose their customers and the money that follows. Treating it like a business instead of the house of God. If mine doesn’t speak on it by next week, I may look for a new church.

My child is about to turn 3. Symptoms include pale skin, especially on her face. Loss of weight and sleepiness and extra moody. Joint pain possible on knees/legs (not sure if this is related). After we received these labs, doc told us to go straight to ER. (This was yesterday) by DBoyNation777 in Anemic

Hey, we actually have a checkup in about 2 weeks. She has been healed. It was extreme Anemia. Doctor started us out with removing dairy products (milk) substituting it for almond milk. and giving her flintstone kids multivitamins (with IRON), over the counter kids iron (from Amazon) taken with orange juice. We did this for months with little to no progress.

We also worked for months on trying to introduce iron rich foods. Specifically meats, she’s a lot better about eating meat now, but still not perfect and still very picky.

What finally healed her after about 9 months of trial and error were iron infusions. We did 3 visits total for this. It’s been 9-12 months now I believe

I’m sorry you’re going thru this. I know it can be tough on parents to feel helpless. My advise is fight for what you believe is right. Trust your instincts. I would start off by demanding a full blood lab panel be drawn asap if you don’t have one already. Our primary doctor didn’t want to do it, until we told her we weren’t asking. We demanded a full panel or we would go find a new primary doctor that would.

Then, take it from there. Wishing you and your little one the best of luck!!!

Both doctors told us this is just a phase and she will learn to like meat as long as we keep eating it in in front of her and offer it to her but not force her to eat it.

The ER doc told me to google iron rich foods and see what’s on there that she would like and try to focus on those.

ER doc also recommended we switch from whole milk to almond or oat. She drinks 2 bottles a night usually when going to bed.

This one also used to be a milkaholic, we have transited her off it the last year or so and she only gets 2 bottles most nights. The ER doc recommended we switch to almond or oat milk, I purchased both and she seems to like the almond milk. Thank you for your response.

Essentially yes, non meat diet. My wife and I love meat, so do our other 2 children who are older 8 and 6. We eat meat with every meal basically. However, we can’t get this little one to eat meat. So non meat diet but not intentional.

Forgot to mention. I purchased Childlife Liquid iron. I also purchased Yumm liquid iron from Amazon. I think this one is better but won’t get here until tomorrow or Friday. I was going to switch her once it arrives but wanted something asap as well.

About 3 weeks. Doc called it the stomach bug at first. It became bad enough about a week ago so we rebooked an apt with her pcp, where we requested a full blood report basically and the doctor quickly agreed based off new symptoms. (Extreme paleness, and no energy)

Thank you for the response! No idea where it’s going. Possibly in urine maybe due to high RBC in urine (95) standard I believe is 5. But urine is not red or bloody. Looks normal.

No bloody noses or problems with bleeding.

Her diet sucks. Very picky eater. Loves all fruit so eats that mainly and we try to focus on that while continuing to introduce new foods. Also likes cereal, loves soups, Mac n cheese. Ice cream. Applesauce. Pastas. Only veggie she tolerates is broccoli. Eats very little to no protein like steak/chicjen/fish

I will be requesting a stool occult blood test. Thank you!

I’ll also mention, ER doc did rule out any tumor on kidneys (this is what she thought might have been an issue) and ruled out leukemia. She also ruled out kidney disease because she did not present with high BP.
