Sending some healing prayers and thoughts for a quick diagnosis, and healing. Hugs to all as well!

I wonder if she has ITP- idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura. I hope that's what she has, actually, because while scary, it's very treatable. My son had it when he was 4 or so. An auto-immune response kicks in and wipes out their platelets so they start bruising like crazy and it can be dangerous if they do anything physically rough. Usually there is a huge presenting bruise and then loads of little red dots called petechiae from capillaries leaking. The treatment is to give an immune globulin IV which helps until their own systems kick in. Can't play sports for a few weeks after but that is manageable. It can be tense waiting for test results to rule out other much worse things. And I'm am truly sending out lots of good wishes that it's not those.

That is what first came to my mind, also. I have several friends whose children developed that. It is very scary, but very treatable.

Sorry to hear this Carolyn. I'm sure you are all so worried. I will be keeping your family in my thoughts and prayers, and hoping for a quick diagnosis.

I'm sending thoughts and prayers your way!

Oh man Carolyn, I'm thinking of your and your grandchild.

Dear Carolyn,
I'm so sorry to hear this.Not knowing is so scary. My prayers and positive energy are being sent to you and your family.

 

[dixiedragon]

Praying for your family. How very scary!

That is what first came to my mind, also. I have several friends whose children developed that. It is very scary, but very treatable.

That is what they are thinking and what we are really hoping it is but now her hemoglobin and Billirubin levels are down. Then did some more testing but one had to be sent back East so will not get any results for a few days. A 12 hr transfusion is being started this morning/afternoon but they said her platelets may fall again after the transfusion. Choc hospital is where she needs to be, they do know what they are doing

I was so nervous yesterday I made 6 batches of soap. Thankyou for all the prayers, now praying in 6 months she does not face a bone marrow test, which is the time frame they have given at this point.

 

[newbie]

Oh no. I do hope you get some encouraging news soon. It's so hard- hard to wait, hard to see a kid not feeling well, hard to think about bone marrow transfusions and all. We are all thinking of her, and you.

 

[MySoapyHeart]

So sorry to hear that, sending positive thoughts. They are so lucky to have your support and love in their situation!

[LittleCrazyWolf]

Carolyn, you guys must be beyond scared and stressed right now. I'm keeping your grand-daughter in my thoughts and prayers.

 

[CaraBou]

I am glad she is in the right hands. I hope they figure it out quickly and she can come home feeling better very soon.

 

[navigator9]

I'm so sorry to hear that. Thinking of you and your family and sending good thoughts your way.

 

[fuzz-juzz]

I'm so sorry... I hope you'll get some news and she'll be on the mend soon.

 

[hmlove1218]

Prayers! My daughter is the same age as your grand baby. I can't imagine what your family is going through right now

 

[newbie]
