I am hoping you can be kind enough to answer some of my questions. I read your story and i am deeply sorry for son, hopefully he will get better. I read in your post that your son started to get tiny little red dots all over his body (petechia). Did they look like a rash or was it just some of the dots here and there? Are the dots still there or did they start to fade away or change color? I am just curios about these dots as because i have found about 10 of them on my body but they have been there for years and i never worried about them as i have good health. I am going to a dermotologist on friday to see if they are indeed petechia or just some other angioma which i am hoping for. Your son bruised alot to? Was the nruising really bad i.e like all over his body or just tiny little bruises. I look forward for your reply. Thank You.

Thanks for replying, Thats what i am hoping for to. Like i said i have had them for as long as i remember and i am in good health (i beleieve so anyway). Im sure if they were do to some blood disorder then i would be pretty ill by now. Wouldnt you agree. Im scared to see the dermatologist in fear of him saying that they are indeed petechia. I am hoping that they are just some cherry angiomas which looks exactly the same as a petechia (red little dots). One more question. Where the dots all over your son under the skin or could you run your finger over them and kind of feel them. I can run a finger over mine and feel them.
