Mummy I can't walk, mummy I'm weak, mummy I can't breathe, finally he drops down and it's crisis again. Adamu open the gates quickly, darling get the car keys let's get him to the hospital quickly. This is one of many scenarios of sickle cell anaemia patients when crisis occurs. Sickle cell anaemia is not funny. I've seen helpless children between life and death, suffering for the sins of their parents.
The Cause.
It's now household info, that people with AS genotypes should not marry each other, just as AS and SS should also not marry. Having known this, and the many medical centres around where tests cam easily be conducted, why do we still have sickle cell anaemia patients?? The reason is not far fetched. Most of those parents, while they were young in love, were either blinded by love or ignorant of the fact. So many people in love these days don't even ask about genotypes before defining something serious. Some even go ahead into marriage believing God for a miracle. We know there's nothing God cannot do, but then, why tempt God?? I won't be surprised if a child suffering from sickle cell anaemia, suddenly picks up a gun and kills her/his parents.

The Remedy.
The Remedy is not far fetched. Don't fall in love too soon. Dot the I's and cross the T's. Know your genotypes. There's no need waiting on God for something man can solve. Peaceably look for a way to bring the relationship to an end. In this very case, friend-zoning is allowed. Please and please, help the unborn children, the pains they feel is enormous. Even the unborn children already have problems to cope with. They have books to read. Don't further complicate an already complicated life. Love wisely. Blogger loves you.
