    Default Could I get some Pixie dust and prayers for my 8 year old?

    My son David is 8 years old. He has some struggles in life. He has Autism, ADHD, Sensory Integration Disorder, anxiety, and asthma.
    For the last month he has been getting unexplained bruising on his abdomen, chest, and back. Not small ones but big 2-4 inch ones with knots. And he's been getting 3 or 4 nose bleeds a week. Sometimes a couple daily.
    I took him to his pediatrician who immediately sent him to the hospital for rushed blood work.
    Initial blood results are in. I'm not going to lie. I'm kind of freaking out. The doctor called and referred him immediately to a hematologist. His platelet count is "almost critical" she said, at 21,000. Normal count should be 140-400,000. Yikes!
    So off we go Wednesday to Nemours in Orlando.

    Naturally, this mama is worried sick. Praying a lot. And I know this sounds so "woe is me" because there are people who have much more on their plate in life.
    I just feel like he already has so many challenges, and now we could be looking at a chronic blood disorder.

    Any extra pixie and prayers, love and light you have would be so appreciated.
    for David.

    My brother had the same thing when he was a kid, he is now 45. I am sure it freaked my Mom out as well, in fact she still talks about it to this day. He was sick a little while but after the meds started working he got better quickly. The trick was weaning him off the meds as the body didn't like to go cold turkey with the meds he was on. Once he was off the meds and a couple of blood tests over the next few months he never looked back and had no recurrence of this condition.

    I am sure you are very scared. Stay positive. Sending I was a hematology secretary for 28 years. I have seen many, many cases treated very successfully.

    Oh ick!

    Sending prayers of strength and comfort for you, and for David. I remember when my daughter was quite sick and it is scary, no doubt about it. He will be in good hands and I hope everything gets sorted and under control soon.

    A little extra can't hurt either!

    Sending positive thoughts and prayers for you and David. I know it is a scary time for you but God is with you and your family. Sending prayers also for the medical team, that they make the best choices for him and his recovery.
