Caring for 8-year-old with hemophilia is full-time job for mom of two

Savita Ramlogan and her son Aditya

Eight-year-old Aditya Ramlogan calmly puts on his sandals and all seems well until he stands and begins to walk. He walks with a slight limp and also on his toes. The young aspiring doctor has been diagnosed with hemophilia and his mobile infirmity is just one of the many fallouts from the condition.

His mom, Savita Ramlogan, had never heard of hemophilia until Aditya was diagnosed but she knew something was wrong a few months after he was born. She observed that her baby was having what she described as “black and blue marks” about his body but it was only after he was hospitalized to have a surgery done on an abscess that she found out the reason.
