UPDATE:

So we had our first set back on this journey. His platelet levels got up to about 31K
And then plummeted over the next week or so.
This past Tuesday evening he got hit in the head and we have to take him for safe precautions, to get examined. Well within a few hours, he started brusing again and lots of petechiae all over his body.
They did a cat scan and he had no brain bleeds thank God. But his platelets had dropped to critical level [10K].
So they transported him from our local hospital to Nemours.
They checked his levels again as soon as they got there and they had dropped to 8K. A 2K drop in less than 4 hours.
He was admitted and then did a RHoGam treatment. Which basically boosts the platelets up enough to get out of critical level. It's a temporary fix, but helps so they don't risk any internal bleeding which is what we want to avoid because that's when things can get bad quickly.
So we were there from Tuesday night until Thursday afternoon. His levels finally came up to 26K which gets us just out of critical level. Still low, but less threatening.
Still have a long road ahead of us until this all resolves itself.

I think the worst part is that any treatment is basically a temporary fix until the body straightens itself out and the ITP goes into remission.
Here's to months of recovery
Thank you for continued thoughts, prayers, love & light...and lots of

Sadly though because of all this, money is tight having to go back and forth to Nemours and with him having to be less active, I've had to cancel our annual labor day vacation to Disney. Just can't swing paying for the hotel and meals for 4 days. We can go over for a day trip though. Thinking Animal Kingdom where it can be more low key but lots of fun exploring. They love AK!
