at the 1st sign of bruising?

I want to hold off a bit longer on testing but my hubby & mom think I should do it now. We have had 4 nosebleeds in the last 5 days & have now started with bruising (6 small ones) & blood dots.

He is getting IVig, correct? Ryan's normally lasted about 4 weeks. And by that, I mean its a steady decline after week 2 or so until it got below 20,000 around week 4.

In the beginning I was so scared that it was a bad sign, that it meant Ryan's case was going to be chronic. But it doesn't mean that at all. Unfortunately it seems to be the nature of the beast. :unsure:
