I don't want to scare you, but you have every reason to be worried. A similar thing happened in my family. It was like 1970, my parents had my sister and my brother, David. He fell off the couch while taking a nap and broke his femur. They took x-rays and to make a long story short, they took him away saying that my dad beat him. They only took him away and never even looked at my sister, he was about six months old. Years later, in 95, my sister had searched for him and found him, then we all met him. Come to find out, all the extra xrays that they said they took to prove all the other broken bones were never taken. My brother had been in the military, and they had told him the only bone ever broken was his femur. they could tell from calcification.

Anyway, my first advise (and I'll ask my mom to add anything else) would be question EVERYTHING. My dad took polygraph tests and passed and they still thought he was beating a baby, which my dad could never do. trust me. ALso, get copies of everything. This could be costly, because docs usually charge for medical record copies, but it'll be worth it. Get medical records, all reports, x-ray copies if you can. And make sure you read everything, so that if they try to slip it in, you know. I think I'd also consult an attorney, if you haven't already. We found so many errors in my brothers case.

As for what it could be. I think hemopheliacs bruise easily, but you'd know abou this, I think. Then there is that osteogenesis, where the bones are like glass, and I've read that pressure that doesn't break the bones, bruises the skin. My last thought is this...my sister in law (10) was always getting cuts bruises (that wouldn't heal) and then get bruises ontop of bruises. She would rub up against something and have the worst bruises or her skin would literally break open. A simple fall leads to 25 stitches. Just the other day we saw a bruise on her skin and asked her what happened and she said she didn't know, she leaned on the table. Well, she has something called Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. Which means she gets hurt really easily. I think it's slightly rare, but I'd look into that one.

Sorry this has been so long, I hope it helps, and I really hope everything turns out well.
