Thanks!!! It was the greatest feeling, I would say it was about as great as delivering a baby!! Sunday his back was covered in petechaie and yesterday it seemed everytime I looked at him I saw a new bruise..I believe celebration is over :angry:

His Dr is on vacation until next Tues, I can get him a cbc but I probably won't get the results until she is back :(
If something should happen or if bleeding gets worse he can see another dr, but for now I just sit here with a horrible feeling..I am trying to make excuses for it, but I think I know the truth..

He did finally get above 20 (way above) and even with multple treatments at the same time we never saw that, so I do have some hope..He did it once he can do it again!

Makes me wonder if there is any truth to injury causing a rise, I am not about to find out by choice though ;)
