’Tis the Season!

Does your child get excited during the holidays? Have spring fever or cabin fever? Can’t wait for summer vacation, turkey or Santa?

Seasons have an effect on people, whether chemical, biological, or psychological. Your child may experience seasonal bleeding patterns: bleeding happens at certain times of the day, week, month, or year. You may find that your child bleeds more often in the spring and summer, when the days are longer and he is more active.

Or your child may have seasonal bleeding around holidays. The bustle of welcoming relatives, eating sugar-rich foods, and receiving gifts can all create excitement, and this may mean more activity and increased bleeds. Accidents happen, and no one is to blame. What’s most important is treating promptly, so you can get back to the holiday fun! 

Thanksgiving and the December holidays are approaching. Be sure to have extra factor doses on hand, HTC numbers ready just in case, and watch for any sign of a bleed or breakthrough bleed, Staying proactive can keep the family active!
