I took Ben to the University of Iowa today for a doctor appointment. His platelet count was over 100k today so we were happy with that! We did have a lot of questions today because Ben recently did a research paper on ITP and he had some things he wanted to ask the doctor about. The best conversation was about rattlesnake venom! While researching potential treatments, we came across a case study in which a patient had received rattlesnake venom and it cured him of his ITP... although he did have hallucinations... but the doctor indulged us and looked it up and found another article that debunked the idea! We are always looking for a cure!!!
