Thank you so much for sharing this note. It's good of you to have these conversations with your family member too. I do find that AI as emotional support can be really comforting during moments like these, but even that becomes circuitous or counter-productive after a point. That we can get the AI to reflect back onto us essentially whatever we secretly fear is one of the most powerful (and scariest) parts of this technology. And I really appreciate you sharing that ITP storyline. I ended up meeting someone else late last year who had ITP in February 2025 as well. Unlike me, she was re-hospitalized 8 more times throughout the year, as they had a hard time keeping her platelet count up. I feel lucky (so far) that it hasn't happened again...
