Brady's Story

[SquierCV60s]

I was hospitalized for ITP just under a year ago.

Im 46 years old, and it hasnt been easy for me.

Brady is a true hero, and so brave. I cried watching this video .. it makes me sad that a child has to endure this terrible disease, but, it also give me hope. Hope that I get from him, and his positive attitude.

, I have a 11 year old augter with itp, she was diagnosed with it when she was 5 years old the story you have just told on your video sounds like mine, my daughter and I have been through it all, I will definitly make sure I make people aware of this condition and to also donate. Deepest sympathy to you all x Rip Brady xo

My Brady passed away from leukemia and as a result I am very aware of the need to donate platelets on a regular basis. It a shame more people don't take the time to donate. I pray your Brady is doing well...

I've had ITP since I was a baby, and I will never get rid of it. Fortunately, it's something you can very well live with, you just have to be extremely careful with a lot of things like sports and alcohol :D Of course, the chances of surviving some accidents are way lower than normally. And yes, my body is covered with bruises every now and then, but luckily rarely face. My rates have been around 5-12. The older your child gets the easier it will be for him to avoid things that might hurt him.

I hope Brady overcomes ITP and I think he will. I had chronic ITP and I finally have a normal CBC count.
