The good news is that I have not relapsed!
But I have got something called ITP, Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura, which basically means that my immune system is eating my healthy platelets by mistake thinking that they are bad viral cells so my platelets are very low which is why I am bruising so easily. This is very very rare and only 4 in 100,000 children get it so I am really quite special!
But, I have to be very careful now and not do any contact sports or sports things where I could bang my head (cos I could bleed in my brain) so guess what that means - yup, you got it, no riding again until I am better.
I have to have another blood test on Monday and see what has happened to my blood since Thursday. Then I will have another blood test a few days later and then a few days after that. That's all very well, but as I don't have a port anymore it means that I have to have a needle stuck in to me (OOOOOWWWWW) and as my platelets are low it means I get a big bruise and I bleed alot (aaarrrggghhh!)
I have had enough and I think I am driving Mummy mad because I am not very good at being careful and not being active. We are meant to be on holiday in Jersey where we were going surfing and everything but we are stuck in boring Billesdon with nothing to do. Anyway, the flight was cancelled to Jersey because of the volcano so we would still be in boring Billesdon.
I think I will .....................................hmmmmmmm, what shall I do?????????
