Saturday Session: CSL Behring Common Factors Advocate Program "Laughing Through Stress"
When her first child, Jeff, was born, the umbilical cord was wrapped around his neck and his delivery was traumatic. Then Jeff’s newborn heel prick wouldn’t stop bleeding and his head began to swell. He was whisked to a neonatal ICU unit in another hospital. Three days later doctors diagnosed him with severe hemophilia A. Lori and her husband were shocked —they didn’t even know what hemophilia was! Thankfully, they were immediately introduced to the expertise and support of a hemophilia treatment center and the bleeding disorder community. Refusing to let hemophilia consume their family, they stashed it in the back seat and fulfilled their dream of having three children, all of whom just happen to need a little extra help with blood clotting. Today their three sons are happy, successful adults with lives of their own. Lori enjoys spending time with her grandchildren, including a granddaughter who was also diagnosed with hemophilia A.
PLEASE NOTE: SWOHF Family Fest is intended for those individuals/families with bleeding disorders who are involved in our SWOHF community in the Greater Dayton area and who receive care at Dayton Children's HTC or a local hematologist.
