It was a result of the sub-Q needles. We never knew if we hit capillary or blood vessel until we pulled the needle. He would have to stick himself every night to infuse the desferral over 8 hours. This is why compliance with desferal is not that great. John liked it much better when he could use his central line but once that got pullled, he had to go subQ.
I'm sure low platelets played a role also.
