Chronic problem: Is the doctor a specialist- hematologist? He/she is hopefully explaining this as you go. Your child will have chronic anemia and may need transfusions to keep the hemaglobin up. That can cause iron overload so that has to be handled as well. The ebeta thalassemia can be mild or severe and it is hard to know the severity of this in your child.
