DAY 10 AND NO NEW PURPURA!
We are all in shock. It's over and our son is fine.
Just like "they" said - it would just go away... and it did.
We sent out emails of thanks and of rejoice to all of those who prayed, helped, and supported us over the last 8 weeks.
This was humbling. I have NEVER taken my children's health for granted, but you can't possibly truly appreciate something like "health" until it is threatened.
I will never forget the suffering that my child endured.
I look at Isaac differently now. And yes, I still search his legs every day for purpura. The other day he had three mosquito bites on his legs. When I first saw them I almost vomited...and then I realized they were just mosquito bites.
I never understood the true power of prayer until this. I never doubted that there was a God, but the peace He brought me during these 8 weeks was unmistakable. Isaac is a gift, a treasure, all of my children are, but when God is holding your child and healing him, b/c no medicine can, that is when you see the miracle of your child and of God.
One last thing - Isaac continued to have leg pain and stomach pain on occasion. We started him on some multi-vits fortified with Iron on the advice of our doc. That helped tremendously and eventually all symptoms vanished.
