Landon Davis’ favorite past time is playing basketball with his dad, Mark.
The 7-year-old was born with severe hemophilia A. Landon’s blood does not clot.
“If he were to bump his knee or bump his head he could get a bleed,” said Landon’s mom, Ashley Davis. “Typically and usually his bleeds are internal.”
And those injuries keep bleeding, swell up and cause a lot of pain. So, he starts his morning with clotting infusions.
“He’s learning how to stick his own vein. I mean, he’s an amazing little boy,” his father said.
When he was several days old, Landon became jaundiced. His parents took him to their local hospital.
“They told us, ‘We’re not sure what’s going on and what the problem is, but he needs a blood transfusion. He needs a blood transfusion now,’” said his mother.
