we went to banff the first weekend in august, I think she started bruising on her lower arms then but we naively thought it was from climbing out of the pool. we came home monday night and by wednesday there seemed to be unexplained bruising showing up all over her body. I called for a phone appointment with the doctor on friday, i told her what was going on and she advised Natalie go for bloodwork. monday we went to the lab in three hills, and 1 1/2 hrs later our family doctor called and said the lab had called, Natalie's Platelets were below 10 so we headed to the children's hospital right away.
