Reply:I am so sorry to hear how sick your dad is , you really need to know that the doctors are doing everything they can for him. Its like a failure on their part if they don%26#039;t fix someone they take it personal. Bad news is always bad news hun and is never easy. Be there for your dad and do whatever you can for him make sure hes got the best health care and that%26#039;s all you can do. Oh and tell him how much you love him
Reply:my father had a disease called I.T.P. similar symptoms, check it out. A major help was having his spleen removed
