ARMANDO RODRIGUEZ'S ITP JOURNEY
I was diagnosed at age 14 in 2006 with a severe acute case of ITP, my lowest count dropping to 100 platelets. Four years later I had another severe episode and was then diagnosed as having chronic ITP.
Over the past 18 years, I've had many relapses with hospitalizations and various treatments, all occurring in about 4-year intervals. In recent years, I married my childhood sweetheart (who is in the first photo with me) and came to Jesus after having my first daughter. It’s been my faith in Christ that guided me through my most recent relapse this year.
I can truly say that the Lord is my strength and it’s been Christ who has sustained me all these years.
