    Thank you all for your valuable information and time for writing for me your experiences, This really meant  a-lot for me. I am really desperate and lost to be honest, I want my child to have this life without any worries or fear that the next day he will not be able to smile of pain. But, in the same times I am a worried mother that i will cause another issue for my son if I start the medication for him. I didn’t forgive my self still for bringing my son into this kind of life and right now this is my major concern. Looking forward for all your help .

    As a mother of SCD warrior my most important items while traveling will be his water bottle with his medication bag for any emergency. I make sure about the weather in that specific place so i know what to take as extra clothes.
