One summer after a family swimming adventure, Vaniya had shown signs of an illness that
could not be contained at home. After numerous phone calls and visits to her pediatrician, the mutual
decision was made to take her to the E.R. Somewhere around the fourteenth or fifteenth hour,
frustration was rearing it 's ugly head just around the corner, when finally the doctor came in and said
that they were going to admit her into the hospital. The diagnosis was Neutropenia with no known
origin. Now begins the mission to find out what, where ,why, how, when and who. Why is this
happening to my child and what an we do to fix it?

A children 's hospital in
Washington,D.C. was conducted for about five years. The only participants that were allowed to
participate had to meet certain guidelines such as a low neutrophil count of 1500 or less, have a low
B12 blood count or prior cancer diagnosis. The only symptom that fit Vaniya was the 1500 or less
neutrophil count(which 1500 is minimum average for any healthy child or adult). Vaniya 's neutrophil
count was 0! The doctors performed spinal taps, bone marrow biopsies and countless blood tests which
turned up no real concrete evidence as to what was happening to this baby girl who was barely six
months old. Now we were at a crossroad of where do we go from here. With Vaniya 's new diagnosis, 1 we had to bleach everything and try to keep everything around her as clean as possible. This was no
easy task.
The Purpose
The problem that we now are facing is that since her diagnosis, Vaniya has developed eczema,
asthma and food and environmental allergies. There were no signs of any of these illnesses prior to …show more content…
Even with the neupogen shots
that we had to inject into her three times per week, her numbers never came up. I am convinced that
with the proper Neutropenia treatment, her eczema allergies and asthma will be healed by the blood of
JESUS!
The Method
If we look at the chain of events, we see that none of the other health problems occurred before
she entered the swimming pool. One theory is that the pool was not cleaned properly, therefor
infecting future swimmers. The doctors kept asking the same questions but it didn 't dawn on me to
until a few months later.I never thought of the swimming pool being the source of anything since I
know that the pool is suppose to have a certain amount of chlorine to help keep swimmers safe.As I
began to speak with more and more residents, I found out that many of the children from the complex
had gotten sick with various ailments and the only common factor was the swimming pool.
Unfortunately, by the time I went back to the apartment complex ,they had already hired new people
that had cleaned the pool according to the company 's
