GLENVIEW, IL In October 2019, Christina Siders took her youngest daughter, Ella, to the doctor for an ear infection. Though the Glenview mother had done this frequently in the past, this time she was also concerned her little girl might be anemic due to a pale complexion, so she asked for special blood work to be done. The rest of the afternoon and evening was like any other in a family of five with little ones (Christina and her husband, Joe, also have a 4-year-old and 7-year-old) chaotic, exhausting, humorous, Siders said. We woke up the next morning to five missed calls from her pediatrician reporting on her blood work results.
