Positive Reinforcement

I didn't have Leukemia, but i had a blood disorder called ITP, when a simple virus mimics/ copies your blood platelets and your body thinks that they are the bad guys. They never stop destroying them so in a typical human they would have about 400-700 hundred thousand platelets at a atime. I was down to just 1 thousand platets and the doctors were nervous that i was going to die cause my blood couldnt clot. I had blood transfusions all the time, makes u wicked sick, and i was never around anybody except doctors. If i did go to school, i had to be escourted from class to class by my teachers so that i wouldnt be pushed around and bruise easily. Needless to say but i couldnt play contact sports, the main reason i picked up golf, and just waited for it to either go away on its own or for me to pass on. Well, my body final realized what it was doing and now im back around the normal range.

All i can say Sue is that its not going to be easy. She isnt going to ever be the same again, due to the meds, but she is still your cousin. Pray for her, if you are religious, and i hope all works out for you. Im hear if you need to talk so drop me an im or pm abd we can talk more.
