Katie, thank you for your post. I hope that your little boy is doing well. My son also had very low counts in the beginning, but with time and various treatments they kept creeping up to a normal level. I know this is a very stressful time for you. Please take comfort in the fact that the vast majority of kids in the 2-5 yr age group outgrow this. Although, I know that is hard to hear when you are in the midst of this nightmare. My son was diagnosed in the end of July ‘08 and in Jan ‘09 he was cleared by his hematologist. Your son will be able to do his favorite things again. It has been a month since you posted your comment, my apologies for not responding sooner. Please let us know how your son is doing.

Did anyone notice the irony that in the second picture down, the boys art easel is COMPLETLELY BLANK, yet the walls of the home look like a disc techque! I’m laughing with you, not at you. And I have a 3 yr old daughter that would make a perfect daughter-in-law for you someday!!

This particular blog gets a lot of hits and I just want to give an update. As of January ‘09, my son has officially been cleared of the ITP. The doctor said his next big virus would be the tell tale sign if the disorder will act up again. He went through a virus a couple of weeks ago and no signs. So, if any other parents reading this are dealing with ITP, know that within this age group (2-5) chances are high that the disorder will correct itself. I hope that gives you comfort.

When you called me I wouldn’t know what to do. But honestly, knowing how I am I would go up to him and yell at him to death! But I would be curious at if the store cameras could see his image and show how he followed you around. Thank goodness the kids weren’t with you because you perception would be less. You did the right thing and next time call someone who doesn’t live in New Pal to save you! LOL!!

Thanks for the tip! A friend of mine 65 years old(Looks alot younger)
wa taking a college class at Avon High School in Oct 08 and was attacked and raped in her car and was beat up pretty bad. He hit her so hard she was left for Dead??
When she woke up she found her cell phone and called the police they took her to the hospital and that was all that was done! She is still pretty scared to be alone.SO…..BEWARE the target guy could of been the same guy!!
Also beware if something does happen PUSH the issue with the police!!!
It could SAVE someone else!!!
God Bless you all and be SAFE!

Joey, how scary is that? I’m guessing you were alone, the kids weren’t with you? Maybe they’re more protection that we give them credit for. I don’t recall this ever happening to me. But it’s scary to know someone it happened to. Have you sent this to the entire preschool? Because I think you should. And to every female you know. And did you let the Target management know what happened? This is creepy. But thank you for letting us know to be as watchful as possible.

Thanks for sharing this story, Joey. I know I for one run around in a fog half the time – what happened to you is a good reminder that we do need to be aware! I’m sure glad you’re ok.

My goodness Joey. I’m so glad you were paying attention. Good for you for letting someone know. What a creep. I am so creeped out right now. I will be thinking about this story the next time I’m out shopping that’s for sure!
