Precrisis symptoms infant
Hello,
My name is Saphir, I’m a single mom raising my 5month old baby Ruby who unfortunately has sickle cell. We just came back from 4days hospitalisation as Ruby had stomach ulcer. Since crises normally only start later I wanted to ask if this is common with babies w sickle cell?
Thank you Kathy
You must be so worried about your baby! Sickle cell can cause a number of causes of abdominal pain, including stomach problems. It's hard to be a caregiver for a child with sickle cell. You may be interested in our section for sickle cell caregivers, which includes many tips for parents. I hope you have the support you need to care for yourself as well as your baby. All the best for you both. Kathy (Team member)
