JAKARTA - Unpleasant news comes from the family of celebrity couple Meisya Siregar and Bebi Romeo. Through the latest upload on his personal Instagram account, Meisya shared a story about the health condition of his youngest son, Bambang, who was diagnosed with ITP (Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura).
Meisya revealed that so far Bambang has grown as a very active and healthy child. However, surprisingly, his son was given a "gift" in the form of a serious illness that they had never heard of before.
In his upload, Meisya also gave a brief education about what ITP is. This disease, which is now also often referred to as Immune Thrombocytopenia, is an autoimmune disorder in which the immune system actually attacks its own platelets (blood platelets).
"This results in low blood platelet counts so that the body is easily bruised or bleeding," wrote Meisya Siregar in the caption of his photo, quoted by VOI, Monday, April 13.
Meisya explained that the initial cause was considered unknown (idiopathic), but is now understood as a reaction of the immune system that mistakenly recognizes good body cells as enemies.
The story begins when Bambang experiences symptoms of a cough and cold that do not go away, even mucus from his eyes begins to appear. After doing a thorax and x-ray examination, Bambang was diagnosed with Chronic Sinusitis, a genetic condition from his father.
Bambang then underwent treatment for five days with the consumption of antibiotics, anti-inflammatory, sputum thinners, to nasal irrigation. However, three days after the treatment was completed, strange symptoms began to appear.
"Bambang played football and bruises were found on his knees, and on the second day there were more bruises all over his body. Without fever, without behavioral changes, without pain," said Meisya.
Although he felt beaten, Meisya Siregar tried to be tough and took the wisdom behind this disaster. He considers this incident as a reminder from God for him and his husband to be better in guarding His trust and getting closer to the Creator.
Now, Bambang still has to undergo further treatment to ensure that his platelet count is stable again. Meisya also asked for prayers from his followers that Bambang's ITP condition is acute (temporary) and does not become chronic.
"Pray, hopefully this is only an acute one that Bambang didn't carry for his whole life. There is still follow-up treatment, until Bambang's platelet value is stable," he concluded.
