Thanks to DU and and update on my daughter re: my earlier thread today about rushing to the ER..

First, thanks for your prayers, good wishes and encouragement today, it really means a lot to me right now as I was pretty much cut off from other adult contact today.

Second, my daughter turns out to have been severely anemic. Now the thing is, she goes to the doctor about as often as I change underwear, I honestly don't understand how this could have been misdiagnosed or undiagnosed for a period of months now.

I even mentioned anemia to her yesterday after she collapsed at the doctor's office and was told that her "iron was good".

I don't get it, how can severe anemia go undetected in someone who sees the doctor on a very regular basis for a variety of symptoms including weakness and dizziness?

Thanks again everyone, I really appreciate the support.
