    Thinking of you and your son. Sending PT&P that the medical team provides answers and a treatment plan soon for your son’s full recovery.

    Oh my goodness! I'm glad he's where he needs to be. The irregularities in the blood mean that he'll be taken seriously at least. I'm sorry you're going through this and will pray for answers and for relief for both of you!

    Thank you all. We are still in hospital for at least another night. Lots of tests but right now think it is an autoimmune response related anemia. He is on steriods to calm the immune system down and testing to rule out everything other than an antibody response. Thank you all for your support!

    I am glad he is being evaluated further. Most of the labs are related, so it is not uncommon to have many abnormal values. FWIW, our ferritin levels were always very low with our hemolytic anemia; our iron levels were also low. I have seen references to high ferritin with COVID and high levels are seen with inflammation. Did the do a SED rate or CRP? Hemochromatosis (iron overload), hepatitis, autoimmunity are potential causes. Of the tick-borne illnesses, be sure they consider Babesia, preferably by reviewing blood smears. See https://academic.oup.com/cid/article/60/5/827/292078

    I'm sending P&PT to you and your son. I'm glad it's being taken seriously and you're going to get to the bottom of what's going on.
