ITP

Leila has ITP. She got it as a result of the MMR vaccine.

The doctor explained that a person normally has about 100,000 platelets in their body. Anything under 40,000 is bad. When we brought Leila into the doctor yesterday, she had 4,000 platelets.

This morning, after treatment, the platelets were up to 18,000.
