Well, our ski trip to the lovely mountains of Iowa has to be postponed.  Jake woke up this morning with a 101.5 degree temp.  Just to be safe, we brought him in to the clinic to check his platelets (his platelets usually drop when his is sick due to the ITP), and platelets were at 4,000 (150,000 to 400,000 is average), so he will need to get medicine to bring them back up.  They also checked him for influenza, as it is going around like crazy, and luckily he did not have that.  It never fails that someone in our family gets sick when we have plans made.  Good thing we are able to reschedule the lessons I had arranged for the boys and Terri.
