Well,  Mya was admitted again on Friday.  Her WBC did go up a little, her absolute neutrophils had gone to 800, but it was still to low according to the doctor.  She actually wasn't sure why she was discharged in the first place.  Anyway,  she did have a temp when she was admitted and the doctor ordered more bloodwork and a Hem/Onc consult. Here's the very strange thing.....another CBC was orderedin the hosp., and in 36 hours, her WBC tripled!  Now I'm thrilled! ....... But, confused .  So, here's the long and short of it.....She's home.  The hem/onc dr. said he didn't really know what was going on.  He had a list of possibilities and leukemia WAS on the top, but since her white count came back up, he's thinking it's probably something else.  He said he can't completely rule it out,but he wants to watch her counts and do some more bloodtests for immunology and see what happens.  He does not want to do a bone marrow test unless he has to.

Please, don't get me wrong...I'm very happy.  But I'm very confused.  Over a five day period, her count rose slightly, and then tripled, in such a short time.  That seems strange to me.  I'm not happy with the fact that so many doctors are involved.  Minus the Hem/Onc doctor, who I have no problem with,  she's been seen and treated by at least 9 other doctors.....  All of which are just pediatricians on rotation.  So, I can't help but think there may a lack of communication.  The pediatrician who saw her on Saturday morning, told me there was nothing wrong with her.  Her counts were up...."She's perfectly fine, send her back to school".....oh, and  the low grade fevers, aren't low grade fevers....according to her...there's no such thing.   Another weird thing to me is, she was supposedly dehydrated again.  How that happens, I don't know.  She drinks more than enough, and I have been pushing fluids even more lately.  Also Her Hemoglobin was normal, but her MCV was low, and her ALT was high.  I'm sad for her, and I don't know what to think anymore.

P.S.   Thank you, Jerry!  I appreciate the info and encouragement! 

Thanks, Ann!  I am glad her counts seemed to improve, too!  And, honestly, the hem/onc doctor seems very good, and very thorough.  He wants to follow up with her in a month, and in the meantime, she is supposed to see a respiratory specialist.  If the fevers would just go away, I would feel much better. But, I know we'll get through this, and I will keep everyone updated.  All of you have been very supportive, and I'm very grateful!

One more question....that probably sounds really dumb...What do you mean by blood lines?

Thanks for explaining that!  I feel kind of dumb sometimes, just not familiar with many of the terms...I guess that's a good thing. 

As far as the fevers, I think it's an opinion thing. I agree with you.  If it was really a rule, I don't think she would have been the first to say it to me, and the ER wouldn't have given her Motrin for 99.8.  I was put off by her dismissive attitude.  There is a reason a child developes 3  bacterial infections at the same time, and she acted like it didn't happen.   We were told in the hosp.,  with the infections  Mya had, they would have expected to see a WBC of over 20,000.  We'll keep hangin in there, and I'll keep you and your daughter in my prayers!  Thank you for the input!
