Lucky #9!! This mans' platelet count is WAY up to 93,000!!! Yippee!! We even got the go ahead to get his 6 month vaccines, which we took care of yesterday. (Just in time for Mother's Day Out.) Our hematologist wants to see Collier back in 2 months with the expectation that his counts will be in the "normal" range. After that, we will go back in 6 mths for a check-up. If all is well, we will not have to go back ever!! The doctor says that his ITP doesn't put him at any extra risk for contacting anything else. In 10% of cases ITP reoccurs within 6 months of being back in the normal range, but hopefully we will be in the 90% that stays ITP free! Words can not describe how happy we are to be almost through with this journey.
