Acute Chest Syndrome is a very common complication in sickle cell disease that affects the lungs and can make Warriors very sick.
Acute Chest Syndrome can be caused due to the sickling of the red blood cells in the lungs, an infection, low oxygen or other inflammation in the lungs.
Symptoms often include: Fever, chest pain, cough, wheezing, difficulty breathing , low oxygen , and dropped hemoglobin levels.
A chest x-ray is needed to check for & diagnose acute chest syndrome.
Acute Chest Syndrome often occurs the same time as an pain epsode.
Make sure to get checked if you feel any of these symptoms!

No Warrior should go without these essentials!🌙❤️

————-
El síndrome torácico agudo es una complicación muy común en la enfermedad de células falciformes que afecta a los pulmones y puede enfermar mucho a los Warriors.
El síndrome torácico agudo puede ser causado por la hoca de los glóbulos rojos en los pulmones, una infección, bajo nivel de oxígeno u otra inflamación en los pulmones.
Los síntomas a menudo incluyen: fiebre, dolor en el pecho, tos, sibilancias, dificultad para respirar, bajo nivel de oxígeno y caída de hemoglobina.
Se necesita una radiografía de tórax para verificar y diagnosticar el síndrome torácico agudo.
El síndrome torácico agudo a menudo ocurre al mismo tiempo que una epsode de dolor.
¡Asegúrate de que te revisen si sientes alguno de estos síntomas!

¡Ningún guerrero debería ir sin estos elementos esenciales! 🌙❤️

Join Us in Supporting Lawrance Hines❤️
Blood Drive & Kidney Donation Awareness

Antioch Missionary Baptist Church invites the community to come together for a special Blood Donation Drive in support of Lawrance Hines, who is currently battling kidney disease and in need of a kidney transplant.

This event is an opportunity for our community to make a real difference. While we work to raise awareness about Lawrance’s need for a kidney donor, we are also encouraging everyone who is able to donate blood and help save lives. A single blood donation can help multiple patients in need, and your support brings hope to families facing medical challenges.

Even if you are unable to donate blood, we invite you to come out, learn more about organ donation, spread the word, and stand in support of Lawrance and others waiting for a transplant.

Your compassion, generosity, and willingness to help can truly make a difference.

📅 Date: Friday, June 19, 2026
⏰ Time: 11:00 AM – 5:00 PM
📍 Location: Antioch Missionary Baptist Church
