So, a year and a half ago I started this blogging thing to keep family and friends up to date on Maxwells ITP problem. Well, we had another appointment over a week ago and failed to update on the news. His coulnt was 150!!!!!! We couldn't believe it! In one month it went from 70 to 150 on its own, no help, no treatment, nothing! Yeah Max! You should have seen him light up when he read the numbers! It was priceless. There is no predicting when ITP will resolve itself, it is just a waiting game. So, it has been 1 1/2 years since his official diagnosis and over 3 1/2 years since his first symptoms. We are so relieved and excited, and hoping that the worst really is behind us. At anyime his counts could go down again, but for now we will be happy and take it month to month. After six months of normal counts he is considered to be "over it"....1 down, 5 to go! I have to feel grateful for the blessings we have been given. Even through this whole ordeal with Max, the rest of us have been healthy and I have to be grateful for that and for all the love and support we have received from all our family and friends. Thank you!
