He is a much more happy little guy. His tonsils are still big and our pediatrician wants to wait a little longer for him to gain more weight before we take them out. At least now he is back on the weight chart.…

Hemolytic Anemia in Child

(The following testimonial letter was translated from Spanish.)

As believers in God, we are are sure that Carao was an answer sent by the Lord in response to our prayers.  For more than 2 years, David had been taking Prednizolona, in relatively large doses (up to 20 mg. daily) for a child of his age (4 years) and when the dosage was reduced (following the doctors' instructions) the autoimmune hemolytic anemia reappeared.  On 4 occasions, David required blood…
