Update

Well we just got back from the Dr.
She said his megakaryocyte's look a little better now, they are larger which is showing they are actually trying to work at making his platelets.
But his cellularity (??) is still low which she isn't sure why.

She said since his bone marrow is making the platelets, the only other explanation for them being low is something is attacking them. But the constant fatigue and pains he's having are not consistent with ITP, they are more consistent with Lupus or JRA.

So she's sending him to rheumatology to see if they can find anything to explain what's going on.

But she said rheumatology still doesn't really explain the low cellularity.

I'm not really sure what to think or do at this point?
