Hello @marymanning and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I am sorry to hear of your daughters diagnosis coming up during her pregnancy. You said that she is being treated with weekly IV treatments. What is in the IV?

Were her initial symptoms nose bleeds? I read where this disorder can happen if there is a family history. Are there others in your family who have had this as well?

We don't have a history of this in the family; however, her 10 year old son was born with it and had to have two transfusions immediately after birth. She did not have a nose bleed. She did have a rash on her body and her doctors had tests done and determined this is what she has. I do not know exactly was is in the IV treatment -- I do know that she has been on steroids for the last couple of weeks. They are doing an EKG now because her blood pressure has come down some but her heart rate is too high and she is continuing to vomit.
