Yes, extremely normal and you should continue doing so as much as possible.

Wow, that is quite the story! I can imagine how scare you would have been. It was scary for us too, but not quite to that level! Glad he’s doing well after all these years. My daughter’s hasn’t come back yet, fingers crossed.

My son was diagnosed with Anaphylactoid Purpura when he was 2 years old (year 2000) he is now 13. He started off with just not feeling well and a slight fever. The next morning I went to work to open up the Day Care that I worked at, but knowing that I was going to leave to take my son to his doctors office as soon as the first staff person came in. I left around 530 am that morning and was home by 700 am. From the time that I left the house and came back he had a rash all over his body and had a 103 temp. Well mommy radar went off and I rushed him to the ER. They got my so right into a room and all doctors and nurses were wearing mask and tell us that we also should put one on. At this point they were not telling me what was going on. Even tho we asked and they said it was just for there safety. At this point my Husband and myself was a mess.

The doctors told us that they were pretty sure that my 2 year old son has spinal meningitis and that they would have to do a spinal tap on him to make sure. Talking about my heart braking into a billion little piece. Well after doing it. The fluid came out clear, so that he did not have that.

They admitted him to the hospital because they did not know what was wrong with him.

My son was in so much pain. And no one knew why. After 2 days they told us it was Anaphylactoid Purura. And there is no treatment for it. He had so much pain in his joints and body. We spent 4 or 5 days there. After we went him he started to get better and then about 3 weeks later it came back. But not as bad.

Still to this day he has a huge mark on his leg where his blood vessels popped. A mark that will always remind us of that horrible sad day.
