    Thanks Ellie,
    I’m not wanting to put myself into a position of assuming anything but she has had itp for almost 4 years and platelets have been as low as 39,000. Could have been lower but we’ve not had her platelets checked regularly, just kept a close watch on her ya know?

    Barbra,
    So sorry someone made you feel that you couldn’t post certain things here. What’s the point if you can’t be real about all of this. This is a great place for information but we are all REAL people with real feelings and need support just to get through the day. Know that you two will be in my thoughts and prayers. Praying and hoping for the best.

    Terri,
    Encouraging news about the counts being normal! Just a thought about the bruises….My daughter has ITP and I use pure arnica gel on them. I know her bruises aren’t caused from shots but it could be worth a try to get them to heal faster. If I’m faithful to use it twice a day on her she heals pretty quickly. Someone with more experience on the board may be wiser than I to this though…..

    Again, glad that Bob is doing good!!!
    Blessings~Lisa

    Carrie,
    I wish I had the answers you were seeking. I would just say go with your gut feelings as far as going to see your dad. My dad was hospitalized Christmas day…by late that day the doctors were sure he was coming around for the better and my mom was echoing what they said. I posted about literally feeling “pushed” to get in my car and make the drive despite what they all were saying, and I did. My dad passed away about an hour after I got there:( I am so thankful that I didn’t wait.

    Know that he is in my prayers and I pray that God will give the doctors wisdom to find out what the infection is and know how to treat it quickly! I pray also for peace for him and for you and for all your family.
