Mother Shares Struggle with Child's Low Hemoglobin After Hospitalization

In Brest, Belarus, a mother, Lena, shares her experience with her son Timofei's low hemoglobin after a recent hospital stay. Timofei's hemoglobin dropped significantly to 85, far below the normal 110 for his age. "I couldn't believe how hard the recovery was," Lena explains. The pediatrician prescribed iron syrup, but Timofei's weakness has limited his usual activities. Lena states, "He refuses to walk; he only wants to be held." She hopes to connect with other mothers who have faced similar challenges and learn from their experiences. This situation highlights the difficulties parents face when their children are unwell and the importance of community support.
