Smasher, I left a message on the other thread you wrote. I had this same problem. Have never been able to find anyone else similar so v keen to talk to you. Have a 7 year old who was unaffected followed by a miscarriage. Then had a 'normal' pregnancy but soon after birth discovered my now 3 year old had this. Platelets dropped to 3 at one point. He's fine now but been advised not to have anymore.
