only about 16,000 hemophiliacs in U.S.A. it is easy to understand why they don't. We just need to teach them. It is the teaching the doctors and nurses that bother me.

That my son will grow out of it. Or he needs to not be such a rough and tumble kid.

I have always allowed my boys to do what they want. We just have to watch the bruises more.

I wish people would not treat you as if you are contagious because you have a bleeding disorder. They act as if your going to spread it. That just goes to prove just how ignorant people can be.

I've been told time and time again if I'd feed my children right they wouldn't have von willebrands disease. Also being told, well they don't look sick.
