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.

It does sound as if her doctors are active in doing what they can in her situation. Has she been referred to a hematologist at this point?
You mentioned that her medical team is going to induce labor at 37 weeks which means that she only has a few weeks more to carry her son. Are there plans to refer her to a blood specialist after she delivers?
You and your daughter (and her son) will certainly be in my thoughts (and prayers) during the next few weeks. Will you keep in touch and update Connect regarding her condition as time goes by?
