For the first time since being diagnosed with ITP, so 34 weeks, we have a platelet increase without any medication! Ry's last ivig was on July 19th. As of last week, September 10th, he was down to 31,000. His count from yesterday though is ... 77,000!

Who knows what the future holds, but we are definitely happy about this!!

Well, he got to go to the fair today and ride whatever ride he was tall enough for!
But I think our victory was short lived... he is bruising again, in odd places. At least he was able to have a good time at the fair!
