Piper (6) has been diagnosed with Severe Aplastic Anemia. A few weeks ago we took her to the Pediatrician for something unrelated and he noticed a lot of bruising and wanted to run a CBC. The test came back with very low platelets and he sent us straight to the Emergency Room. Fast forward a week and she was admitted to the hospital after losing half of her already low platelets. After a bone marrow biopsy we’ve discovered her marrow is in failure.
NOTE: WE LOVE THE SIMPLICITY OF THIS SITE IN ITS ABILITY TO QUICKLY UPDATE MANY PEOPLE ON PIPER’s STATUS. WE ARE FRUSTRATED BY THE INABILITY TO TURN OFF THE OVERT DONATION REQUESTS. IF YOU ARE A FAN OF THE CARING BRIDGE MISSION, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO DONATE. OTHERWISE, KNOW THAT WE ARE NOT DRIVING THOSE REQUESTS AND DO NOT BENEFIT FROM THEM.
