What Causes Purple Bruises In Ears In HLHS Patients ?
I have a 6 mo. old with HLHS. He is 12 days post-op from his Glenn procedure and is doing well. There are some light purple, 1/4" bruise-like spots appearing on his ears. 3 so far, 2 yesterday, and 1 today. They are small and don't appear to be bothering him, but we would like to know what they are...
