We got the blood work back, and the baby has less then 5 thousand blood platlaes. Your supposed to have 140 to 400 thousand. In the er all night, waiting to see what the blood dr says.
The er dr was shocked the baby wasn't bleeding from gums and nose with how low count was. I think our Dr relized we were not joking how fast she was bruising when the nurses who took her blood was watching the bruises pop up from holding her arm. So far no internal bleeding.
Sorry if this post is messed up posting from my phone.

I'm glad you went to the ER and will hopefully have answers soon. When you have time, I'd switch doctors since the other guy was an incompetent asshole.

Oh man. I'm so glad you insisted on the blood test. I'd personally want to take the results and staple them to the forehead of the dick doctor who accused you guys of hurting her.
I hope you get answers soon and it's something easily treatable.

Poor baby. I'm glad that the ER is taking you seriously and that they can see that what your child is going through is serious and not hitting from your other child. I hope you get answers soon.
