What a year....Looking back

A year ago yesterday we were admitting our then 14 month old, Addison, into All Children's Hospital to find out why her platelets had dropped from 200,500+ to less than 3,000. Her poor body was covered in thousands of unexplainable bruises and her cheek looked like someone had hit her with a baseball bat. It seems like forever ago but it will always be clear in our memory. It still brings tears to our eyes thinking of the endless nights we spendt in that hospital waiting and praying for the unknown but best possible outcome. We will never forget that time in our lives and we are so extremely grateful that a year later we are in a much better place with Addison's health.

Addison had a CBC yesterday to mark the anniversary. Her counts continue to improve everytime we go. Her platelets are up to 74,000!!! It is hard to believe in a year they have gone from almost 1,000 to 74,000.
