Description

CHICAGO As families gathered at Miami Children's Hospital, Carlos Boozer knew what it meant for so many. * "Whatever kid was in that room," Boozer said, "didn't have many days left." * Boozer's 15-month-old son, Carmani, was just a few doors away, suffering from sickle cell anemia. * It's an inherited disease, one that causes a lack of healthy red blood cells. Instead, the misshapen cells - crescent moons, as the Mayo Clinic describes them - can't carry oxygen to the body as they should because they can get stuck and block blood flow. * Living with the disease, Carmani would feel shooting pains throughout his body, a toddler short of breath and at jeopardy of a stroke.
