Listers & Ed --- I had talked to my Vet Tech GrandDaughter in Colorado about this odd ailment -- It's a new one on me, so I wanted to know all I could, if possible -- Here is her response. Don't you just LOVE the last sentence about A LOT OF SNOW BEING -- very very exciting! Well, that's ski country and she loves snoboarding --- ETC. Just wanted to share with ya'll Norma no L ----- Original Message ----- From: rramey1@xxxxxxxxxxx To: Norma Ramey Sent: Monday, December 10, 2007 2:43 PM Subject: AIHA Grandma, Hope all is well, yes AIHA is a weird disease and we don't know why it happens. As with all autoimmune diseases, we aren't really sure what causes the body to start attacking its own red blood cells. There is not a real cure;-just transfusions to get them over the blood loss and hopefully, some fresh new cells that the body won't attack. Unfortunately, like cancer, and many other terrible diseases we can't know exactly why -- who gets it. We have gotten a lot of snow up here and it is very very exciting. Talk to you later.
