Platelet Count #7

Here we are 3 months into our diagnosis and, unfortunately, not much has changed except for our status in the ITP world.  We graduated from "acute" ITP (low platelets for 0-3 months) to "persistent" ITP  (low platelets for 3-9 months).  We are at 8,000 this week.  No bone marrow testing was brought up today, which is fine by me.  Instead, our doctor said that as Collier gets older/more active our watchful waiting approach might turn into a more aggressive treatment plan.  Time will tell.  As for now, he will see us every 4 weeks (rather than every 2) with instructions to call immediately if any bleeding begins.  Done!
