Posted in Hemophilia group.
I noticed a while ago that my Daughter kept bruising very easily, and I was really concerned about this along with prolonged bleeding, i.e when she loses a tooth, she can bleed for over half hour. I took her to the GP and was referred to the hospital, they ran blood tests and sent off her bloods to another hospital for further testing. I have had this done also in the past, and I was confirmed to be a Hemophiliac, with me I don't partially worry about myself. I'm a big girl, but my Daughter I am very concerned about. I received the phone call from the hospital a few days ago to confirm the results of her blood tests but due to the shock I didn't pay an awful lot of attention. I am due to see the consultant on June 09th. Where she will explain in detail. The consultant on the phone did say I will recieve a card to carry with myself and my Daughter at all times. I just don't know what to expect with her, she is only 6 years old, and I have no idea if this is going to be a life long condition or if she can grow out of it? Any advice from people who have been through this will be great. When I get more details in June I will post again. Thank you
