It could still be adrenal related because if it triggers an over production
of estrogen you will get this type of response where the bone marrow reacts
as if it were hit by a toxin. I would consider transfusion and surgery for
adrenal. You could do the TENN PANEL but I have no idea how long that
takes. If you look up the signs of ESTROGEN TOXICOSIS and compare with your
kids signs you might see what I am talking about. Best to you.
