Dongre recalls how his newborn son, Girish, cried constantly from stomach and leg pain. Doctors couldn’t figure out what was wrong and didn’t diagnose him with sickle cell for 2 1/2 years. When Sumedha was born, he and his wife had her tested immediately and learned she had the disease too. (AP Photo/Ajit Solanki)
