Only athiests would use something like this to attack God. I asked for prayer, not criticism.

hemoglobin D
Homozygous Hb D disease is a rare disease and usually presents with mild hemolytic anemia and mild to moderate splenomegaly. Heterozygous form of Hb D is clinically silent, but coinheritance of Hb D with Hb S or thalassemia produces clinically significant conditions like sickle cell anemia and chronic hemolytic anemia of moderate severity. The main differential for homozygous Hb D disease is Hb D-beta zero thalassemia. Hb D has also been reported to be associated with hematological malignancies.

Although hematological malignancies are a form of cancer, they are generally treated by specialists in hematology, although in many hospitals oncology specialists also manage these diseases. ("Hematology/Oncology" is a single subspecialty of Internal Medicine; there are also surgical and radiation oncologists.)

Hemolytic anemia is anemia due to hemolysis, the abnormal breakdown of red blood cells either in the blood vessels (intravascular hemolysis) or elsewhere in the body (extravascular). It has numerous possible causes, ranging from relatively harmless to life-threatening. The general classification of hemolytic anemia is either acquired or inherited. Treatment depends on the cause and nature of the breakdown.
In a healthy person, a red blood cell survives 90 to 120 days (on average) in the circulation, so about 1% of human red blood cells break down each day. The spleen (part of the reticulo-endothelial system) is the main organ which removes old and damaged RBCs from the circulation. In health the break down and removal of RBCs from the circulation is matched by the production of new RBCs in the bone marrow.
When the rate of breakdown increases, the body compensates by producing more RBCs, but if compensation is inadequate clinical problems can appear. Breakdown of RBCs can exceed the rate that the body can make RBCs and so anemia can develop. The breakdown products of hemoglobin will accumulate in the blood causing jaundice and be excreted in the urine causing the urine to become dark brown in colour.

Sickle cell trait describes the way a person can inherit some of the genes of sickle cell disease, but not develop symptoms. Sickle cell disease is a blood disorder in which the body produces an abnormal type of the oxygen-carrying substance hemoglobin in the red blood cells.
Normal hemoglobin is called hemoglobin A, but people with sickle cell disease have only hemoglobin S, which turns normal, round red blood cells into abnormally curved (sickle) shapes.
Normally, a person inherits two genes (one from each parent) that produce beta-globin, a protein needed to produce normal hemoglobin (hemoglobin A). A person with sickle cell trait inherits one normal beta-globin gene (hemoglobin A) and one defective gene (hemoglobin S).
People with sickle cell trait rarely have symptoms due to the condition because they also have some normal hemoglobin. However, they can pass the sickle cell trait to their children.
A person in whom both beta-globin genes are abnormal (they produce hemoglobin S) has sickle cell disease, which can cause serious problems. Both parents must have either the sickle cell trait or the disease itself for a child to have sickle cell disease.
People who have the sickle cell trait have reduced susceptibility to malaria, due to natural selection for the heterozygote advantage. However, people with the sickle cell trait can still contract severe cases of malaria.

Yes I will pray for your son and your family!
Blessings!

Haemoglobin is the medical term for the amount of iron in your blood. If Joshua is a small baby there is the possibility it could be a serious genetic medical condition. But if he is older it is probably diabetes or a very low or high iron count. So if he is older it is nothing to be overly concerned about as his iron count can be medicated and diabetes, although a serious medical condition can be kept under control.
After your note:
If you read the two articles below- especially the first one - you will know your son is going to be absolutely fine. As a carrier he has absolutely nothing to worry about until he wants to have a child. Then the woman needs to be tested to be sure she is not a carrier of haemoglobin S. If she has D it is OK. But is she has S their baby could have sickle cell disease.
Your son might be anemic - that is easily monitored and can be easily corrected.

I am not sure of the condition or of how serious it is, but what i am sure of is that God promised to hear all our prayers, no matter how big or small!
Joshua and family it is my prayer for you today that you receive the answers and the healing you seek. I pray that every spare angel be with you and keep you safe from harm, and that as your Mommy asks, all will be well with you J!
I have a little boy of 5months, he is my very heart and i know that if i were afraid for him i would ask my YA friends to share prayers too...

hemoglobin is a normal part of your blood. Is there a problem with his hemoglobin?
oh, he has sickle cell. Not horrible. It is a genetic defect, that can lead to problems if too much stress is put onto the heart and cardovascular system. I would have him avoid sports teams at school, but he can still go play with his friends.

Your doctor is coming to tell you your son has blood?
Weird.
No prayers needed for that.
Not sure what the D is, but I'm not a doctor. Be glad you're smart enough to use doctors since nothing fails like prayer.

O Father, I pray to you to bless all my friends, especially those who requested my prayers.
Lord, show them a new revelation of Your love and power by answering to their needs.
Lord, bless their families, and give them greater vision and provide them good leaders and friends to support and encourage them.
God; give each of them discernment to recognize the demonic force around them and reveal to them, the power they have in You, to defeat the power of Satan.
O Holy Spirit, I pray You to be minister to their spirit at every moment.
When they are in pain, give them Your peace and mercy.
When they are spiritually stagnant, renew them by revealing Your presence and draw them into greater intimacy with You.
When there is sin, block it and reveal it to them and break its hold over my friends’ life.
When they fall sick, heal them with Your heavenly medicines.
Amen.

No. Prayer is a waste of time. God is a superstition. Even if their was a god, he wouldn't pass out favors to those who get the most people to beg.
Your time would be better spent by being with your son. The doctor, not God, is his best chance of overcoming whatever he has.
Hope your son gets better. BTW, hemoglobin is just a part of blood.

I will pray that your son Joshua will be well. But please understands the Lord has His Plans for everyone and be at peace with it.
For if Job has suffered much for God, much less us?
