dd is four and has had a bit of a rough time the past six months with lots of bugs and, in Feb, glandular fever. when we were seeing a ped about the GF, i did raise it with him that i thought she bruised quite easily and showed him a few on her legs (below the knees). he said it was normal and that her bloodtests (done to diagnose GF but fairly compehensive) indicated no blood disorders other than iron deficiency anemia. She is now on iron supplements. After a period with not much bruising, he lower legs seem covered with them again. She is quite active and probably bashes them quite a lot, but she has an eighteen month old sister who falls probably five times as much as she does, and doesn't have nearly as many bruises. i am taking DD1 to the GP about this but just wondered if anyone knew what it could be - other than leukemia which is obviously my paranoia is all about ultimately. DD has no other symptoms and is eating well and full of energy at the moment. Many thanks
