#22 Diary of Remenzer : My Worst Fear as a Dad - DadLife Challenge Week 03 Day 5

APLASTIC ANAEMIA

When your body stops making enough new blood cells, you get aplastic anaemia. You'll feel exhausted, and you'll be more susceptible to infections and uncontrollable bleeding as a result of the disease.

Aplastic anaemia is a rare and dangerous illness that can strike at any age. It can happen all of a sudden or gradually deteriorate over time. It can range from minor to severe. If left untreated, aplastic anaemia is a life-threatening illness with a high mortality rate (about 70% within a year). For patients under the age of 20, the overall five-year survival rate is around 80%.

LOW HEMOGLOBIN COUNT

You may become so weary as a result of a lack of haemoglobin that you are unable to conduct daily duties. It can also cause a fast or irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia). When you're anaemic, your heart has to work harder to compensate for the shortage of oxygen in your blood. This can lead to cardiac failure or an enlarged heart. Hemoglobin deficiency might potentially result in mortality. It has the potential to cause life-threatening consequences. Acute is caused by a large loss of blood in a short period of time, and it can be fatal.

LOW PLATELET COUNT

When platelets are low in kids, skin with a dusting of little purplish patches (called petechiae or purpura) Nosebleeds. Gums that are bleeding. Bleeding from tiny incisions for an extended period of time. When your platelet count drops below 10,000 platelets per microliter, you risk internal haemorrhage. Severe thrombocytopenia, albeit uncommon, can result in catastrophic brain haemorrhage.

LOW WHITE BLODD COUNT

You're more likely to have an infection if your white blood cell count is low, especially if your neutrophil count is low. And if you get an infection while your white blood cell count is low, your body won't be able to defend itself. In severe circumstances, the infection might result in death.

LOW POTASSIUM COUNT

The level of potassium in the blood is too low in hypokalemia. Low potassium levels can be caused by a variety of things, but the most common ones are vomiting, diarrhoea, adrenal gland diseases, and the use of diuretics. Low potassium levels can cause muscles to become weak, cramp, twitch, or even paralysed, as well as irregular heart rhythms.

HIGH C-REACTIVE PROTEIN COUNT

A CRP level of more than 10 mg/L indicates a significant infection, trauma, or chronic disease, and will almost certainly necessitate additional tests to ascertain the reason. CRP values of greater than 350 milligrammes per litre (mg/L) are almost usually indicative of a major underlying medical problem. A severe infection is the most common cause, but elevated CRP levels can also be caused by a poorly controlled autoimmune disease or significant tissue damage. Inflammation is indicated by a high level of CRP in the blood. It can be caused by a number of things, ranging from infection to malignancy. High CRP levels can also signal inflammation in the heart's arteries, which can lead to an increased risk of heart attack.

LATEST COUNT

My kid's latest count all of the above
Hemoglobin : 7.99 (g/dL)

A normal HBC is 11.9–15.0 (g/dL)

Platelet : 22.7 × 109/L

A normal platelet count ranges from 150,000 to 450,000 platelets per microliter of blood.

White Blood Count : 0.762 × 109/L

The normal number of WBCs in the blood is 4,500 to 11,000 WBCs per microliter (4.5 to 11.0 × 109/L).

Potassium : 2.6

Normally, your blood potassium level is 3.6 to 5.2 millimoles per liter (mmol/L)

All readings are very low.

THAT'S IT, THANKS YA 😉

My current worst fear as a dad that I've been facing for 234 days of uncertainty of what will happen tomorrow or the day after that or next.

By the way, thank you for reading this much. Thank you. You guys are great people! Have Faith and don't lose Hope!
