Question:
my baby has yello eyes, looks frail in bodybuild & has yellowish eyes. whenever she is sn crisis, her bones pains her either around the ankles or her back and ribs. thanks for your advice.

Answers:
You won't be able to have an SS baby.

You have about a 75% chance to have an AA baby and about a 25% chance of having an AS baby.

Since you have no S you can't pass it on to your child, you will only be able to pass an A, while your wife can either pass her A or S.

Other Answers:
no possibility, unless you were not the donor, you have no "S" to contribute.
impossible the gene is not there
Your baby is either AA or AS. In order for your baby to be SS, you both would have to be carriers. She could still have sickle cell if she is AS and the A isn't working right (mutation). Intense physical stress can also trigger symptoms in an AS person, but that would be unusual in a small child.

At any rate, I hope the baby is getting good care and recovers quickly.
