I would change my avatar but I like this one too much. Need to get some new pictures so I can update it.

DEVIL BABY!
seriously though how is she doing there Wint?
We have had a lot of trouble with that ITP. After the steroids her platelets still fell.
We went to Children's Hospital in Omaha and talked with a great hemotologist. We ended up having to have a bone-marrow biopsy done to confirm ITP and rule out things like leukemia. That is a very horrible experience, I hope you never have to go through it. They were great with her, they gave her gas to put her to sleep before they did the IV, and she woke up with us standing there so she never even cried. It's hard seeing your little girl on a hospital gurney with all of those tubes and things stuck on to her.
After all that they did confirm the ITP, and it was recommended that we do a IV treatment with
WinRho. We did that last week, having a baby get an IV is also a horrible experience, we ended up being at the hospital from 11:30am to about 7:00pm. Long day. The next day we had her platelets tested, and she went from 10,000 to 126,000 so we're hoping the treatment worked, we're testing again Thursday to make sure it's still working.
