Diagnosed With Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura, Low Platelet Count, RH Positive. Received Immune Globulin. Donate Bone Marrow?

Hi, my 10y.o. son has been diagonised with ITP. He has received one infusion of immune globin already. His platelet count is low again around 32,000 . I am his mother, I have O-neg. blood. I am RH positive, also. *Can I donate my bone marrow to help him? Can he receive bone marrow to help his disorder? I am so worried, I am willing to do anything to help him. What can I do????

ITP is an immunological disorder,either STEROIDS,PLASMAPHERISIS OR IMMUNOGLOBULINS may help.The etiology is unknown or idiopathic.The condition should be treated immediately with platelet transfusion and further destruction of platelets may be prevented by above lines.
