HOME!

We are home now! Hurrah! A big thank you to all for your prayers and support and encouragement. Joshua is doing well, no bleeding at all today. When we arrived Sunday at 1 am J's platelet #'s were at 2,000. The docs wanted him above 10,000. Today he was 16,000! (A normal person is between 150,000-450,000) The docs say he should be back to normal within six months. For all those curious I finally have the correct name of the condition. Ready? here it goes: Ideopathic (no one knows why) Thrombocytopenic (low platelets) Purpura (purple spots) or ITP. So for Joshua's homework: two feet on the ground until further notice.
