Those who don't know she's been in and out of hospital like a yoyo all week. I've got a nasty sickness bug. I'm tired, emotional and scared.
She has low plateletts and low white blood count. More bloods were sent to the lab for further scrutiny and nothing significant showed up. I asked doc "does this rule out the nasty stuff like leukemia and cancer" she said no, but the good news is it doesn't rule them in. She then asked "does she bruise easily or have nose bleeds?" I said "No nose bleeds and as far as I know usual amount of bruises you'd expect on a 4 yo" she said that's a good sign.
Now my DD keeps having nose bleeds. So scared.
Rang hospital and they said since she's well in herself at the moment then leave it til morning and ring doc secretary.
I usually hold it together but now I can't stop crying.

I'm sorry, no advice/knowledge here either.

I just wanted to say that I hope everything turns out okay and your little girl recovers soon. Thanks

How are you and dd Flojo?

Hand holding here too.

I know someone who had this happen to their DC - it was a virus that caused the low BC - but it was an awful scare for them.

You must feel so helpless.

Big hugs to you.

how worrying :(

hope you get results very soon and it is good news. they pick up virus after virus and bugs when they first start nursery and school some children struggle with this. ds was often poorly reacted badly to jabs, had a number of ear infections saw a specialist and it was discovered that he had fluid in his ear so he was constantly fighting infection so any little cold he got body had to fight that too, had grommets in his ears and he was fine no more infections a simple little thing like that made all the difference

DD is much better, unlike me who can't stop being sick.
DD has another blood test on Thursday so hopefully will know more after that.

When my dad was first diagnosed with leukaemia he had a blood test in the afternoon at the GP and by 5pm he was called to go straight info hospital immediately. He was admitted and they had lines in and had to have blood and platelet transfusions straight away and started chemo two days later.
That's how quick it all was. They knew it was leukaemia from a simple blood test before even doing a bone marrow biopsy to confirm it so quite possibly your DD has a virus or something less serious.
If you need to talk anytime just pm me xxx
All the best xxx
