I would guess that the bruises were a fair sign of a lower count, yes.

I can always tell when my son's platelets are dropping because of the bruising. I'd say its a safe bet that the bruising is a sign of a lower platelet count.

Hi Dawn,
Sorry they are maybe dropping. My daughter doesnt' really bruise but we know her numbers are on the way down when she has bloody nose mucous in the morning. Not even a real bloody nose -- just a red kleenex and sometimes small clots.

Maybe different people have different signs. Our daughter also gets very tired (and a bit grouchy.)

Good luck-
