Another diagnosis dealing with clotting -- Van Willebrand disease

I just got a call from Children's Hospital again. Evan was just diagnosed with a disease called Von Willebrand disease. It has to do with blood platelets and clotting. I guess the bruising is from this and we will need to be careful because if he has any injuries or surgeries he may have a hard time stopping the bleeding. They are going to talk to us more in person when we can go up to the cities to talk to them. We'll probably just do it in Feb/March when we have to go back for the other results.

Here's a link I found:
