My cowrkers son is 14. in the past 3 months he has lost 4 pant sizes. he has no appetite . He was bleeding rectally. She took him to the doctors at Texas Children s Hospital. 2/12 they had him in hosptial and stopped bleeding with steroids. Released him with methotrexate He was released 2/12. He hasnt had rectal bleeding or any other visible bleeding since 2/12.They ran tests yesterday and the only thing that has come back positive is that he has a low blood count and told her he is still losing blood. They put him on prednisone and methotrexate and folic acid . The doctors have not been able to tell her what is causing the bleeding, where the blood is going or what is going on. Where else can she get help?
