Well it’s Monday Oct. 4th and she did find a doctor to see her this morning at 9am.  With the bruising, I reminded her to make sure the doctor draws a CBC.  If there was something abnormal going on I knew it would have to do with her platelets.  She said ok.  She went to her 9am appointment then came to my house to watch my kids because I had somewhere to go.  She had even more bruises on her body today and she had petechiae all over her body.  She said the Doctor drew a CBC but said he was really unsure of the cause.  He said there was a possibility that this could have been caused by taking too much Motrin.  My sister had recently had a root canal done and was on antibiotics, pain medicine and Motrin.  I thought this was a very unlikely cause because I knew she was not taking an abnormal amount of Motrin.  Although I still had no idea what was causing her bruising, I will say I wasn’t too worried at the time.
