Entry 1 June 6
I am staring to feel bad for my brother. He keeps complaining about how much pain he is in. His skin is yellow and he has to go see a hematologist for some test. They took samples of his blood and determined he has sickle cell anemia. I have to go play ball with my brother so I have to go.

Thats is my brother is in agonizing pain he is in line to get a bone marrow transplant. The Medical doctor is going to put him on an I.V and inject stem cells into him and then they will become healthy bone marrow to create better blood. Gosh I hope this works I hate seeing my brother like this. They say that the risks arent bad except that the body might reject some things. The benefits will be worth it though.
wrap-up
The abnormal shape of sickle cells clogs the tiny blood vessels so blood cant get through at sometimes. People with Sickle cell often get spurts of pain, swelling, joint pain, and abdomen pain by the blocked blood vessels by the abnormal cells. The reasoning behind the blue finger nails on Ana is because she was anemic at the time of her death she didnt have an adequate amount of RBCS transporting oxygen around her body. Ana could have gotten dizzy and fainted because those are symptoms of sickle cell and fell and hit her head and just bled out.
