children with alot of bruising

Hi my name is Kelly and I have a 7yr old daughter and a 4month old son.

MY daughter started grade prep 2 years ago , she is a very active little girl  ,loves her monkey bars and loves climbing, so she was comming home with alot of bruises

all the time just thinking shes just like any other normal kid, untill the school rang child protection on me, I couldnt beleive it I was devistated, so it was then her bruising started to worry me, maybe she wasnt like everyone else, so I took her to our doctor and she rerffered me to get some blood taken, My daughter was terrified absolutly terrified of needles, she just wouldnt let us take her blood we tried and tried but no go . So i took her home and let it go for a while.  Then One night I was at home watching All Saints on TV and a little boy was taken in with alot of bruising, he  ended up having a protein deficiancy, so then I started to think straight away  maybe somthing like that was wrong with my Daughter. Next day I took her straight to the doctors, they took her blood (they put the numbing patch on her) dont know why they didnt do that in the first place, but anyway we got her blood. well we went home after the doctors as normal , then at 9.30 that night I got a phone call from gribbles lab saying I must take Hayley straight into the childrens hospital asap, well you could imagine I went into panic mode , not having any Idea what was wrong with her. When we got there they addmitted her straight away and the told me hayley has a low plate count also known as ITP (bleeding Disorder) She was admitted for a week , she had lots of bloods taken and also a bone marrow test. 

The Doctors told me this condition can get better on its own, I have recently taken her back for more bloods and still no change, I need to take her back again in three months and if still no  change i will have to sit down with a team of doctors to discusss treatment.  With this condition Hayley Isnt  allowed to go on her monkey bars and climb high things and play contact sport, incase she gets a head injury which could be fatal.  It is hard living like this, every kids cry i hear i think its her and my heart stops, but i have to try and be strong for her and let her live as normally as possible. So if your child seems to have alot of bruising please get them checked out ..........
