Any nurse or hematologist out there... can you please tell me what a low HbA1 means, and a just a little high HbF,...
Jacob result from his Hg Electrophoresis tests are back:HbA1 94.5% (normal is higher then 96.0%) - hence a little low, HbA2 is 3.4% (normal is 2.0 - 3.5%) - hence he is just a the normal top, and HbF is 2.1% (the normal is below 2.0%) - hence he is just a little high. No hemoglobinapathy detected. From what I can figure out with the internet: hbA1 could relate to blood sugar amount - he was hospitalized as a newborn for low blood sugar was on glucose IV drip for 3 days and then came home on day 4. No one ever checked his blood sugar levels since then.HbA2 is a mistery to meHbF is high when your born and decrease as you age, maybe it is high at age 3 3/4.... I would love your input....Dr. Rabie our family physician will get a call from us tomorrow, inbetween getting Daniel's biospy done.
We still have not received Esther's blood work. With al lthe worry,... those little sleeping aid the doctor gave me should come in handy.
The reason we get the result sent to us, is because our doctor has a hard time getting the result s through her fax machine. So if anyone wants to donate an extra telephone line to Dr. Rabie.. go ahead. But I can't complain to much she and her team are great.
They get double thumbs up from me.

Roxanne, our family has been praying for yours during our night prayers. I can't even begin to imagine how difficult it must be for you, little Daniel, Esther, and for Jacob and Joey. You are a great family.
