I have thrombocytopenia, I bleed easily and have very low platelet count. I've had two brain bleeds, the most recent one from a fall in August (3 days in hospital). My first bleed was worse and we never did figure out the cause, I was in the icu for six days after they drilled a bore hole in my skull to drain the blood. I'm male age 78, and have recovered well from both of them. He'll be fine.
