Dads helping daughters with hemophilia

Ivan Giron helped advocate for his daughter Naomi to gain a diagnosis and ongoing treatment after learning more about women having a bleeding disorder. After Ivan realized that his daughter was having abnormal bleeding during her minstrel cycle each month, they started to educate themselves on how the genetic disorder could be passed down to his daughter, and while it looked different for her than it did for him, her need for treatment became more focused after further research. Ivan and Naomi have grown closer together as a family and are now on a mission to advocate for other women to challenge outdated clinical standards for women with bleeding disorders
