My 8 month old baby girl was recently diagnosed with ITP after a blood test prompted by my doctor because of her petechia rash she had for a few months. Right after the blood test I recieved a call that had her admitted to hospital with a platelet count of 12. After her IVIG her counts went up to 124. We wont know if they stay up there until our next visit in a couple of days. I did notice that when she first entered the hospital her White blood cells were higher than normal too, and I am wondering if this is common with ITP or just a coincidence? I understand that it is very rare that children as young as her show signs of ITP and would love to hear from parents who have infants diagnosed and how you deal with learning to crawl, climb, walk, etc?
