Default blood clotting - update

you may remember a few weeks ago that I asked a question about blood
clotting, as ds's tests had taken too long to clot. Well, we had another
test, same result. They also ran some other tests on various proteins in
the blood. It turns out that ds has something called von Willebrand's
Disease Type IIA, this is not really a problem, it's very rarely detected
in males but it often presents in women as heavy periods. The only
possible problem is if he has surgery or a trauma injury. It's hereditary
and the likelyhood is that he got it from me, as I bruise very easily.
I'm glad we've found out what the problem is and also relieved that we can
put a name to it and I wasn't seeing things when I saw blood in his
nappies!

Thanks for the update!

Glad you've found an answer and that it is nothing that will cause a
problem.

I do remember. I'm glad you found a name for the problem and that it doesn't
pose too much of a serious problem.

Saying "I'm pleased to hear that" sounds a bit odd, but you know what
I mean! I'm glad you now know what the problem is!

I'm glad you found out what it is,
that it has a name.
