After over 30 vials of blood drawn, they have so basic ideas. It is not Leucemia, cance or lupus. He is showing a positive test for the lupus anti-coagulate.

Hooray for not cancer and not lupus! I'm glad he's still in good spirits. Hang in there.

I don't know if he would remember me, but please let him know that he is definitely in my thoughts and I hope he feels better soon.

he does not forget much. He still laughs about singing taps as you changed the tea lights at pennsic.

I will pass the message along

Given the alternatives, HSP is a fairly bright diagnosis as it's not a chronic condition and has a low incidence of relapse. As long as his kidneys come through it okay it'll be nothing more than a memory in a few weeks :-)

Even though it's not conclusive yet, I think it's not premature to say that we're all feeling a bit relieved and hopeful for you guys and also for Mikey and his little girl. Been a scary couple days that's for sure.

You are correct about the lesses of the scary stuff! All the blood work is not in, but 3 doctors seem to "agree" of the diagnosis. Other worries will be blood clots in the future , but I hope a later blood test will show the tests were just because he had something... and that is why the tests were positive ... but I am notorious for being optomistic.
