Feeling a little sick to my stomach this morning & have a pounding pounding headache. I need to get Will up & get him a bath so we can head back to Wolfsons to repeat his bloodwork. I am anxious but procrastinating at the same time. If all went according to my plan, I would be getting ready for church. Excited about teaching Lucy's Sunday school class & both of us meeting new friends. SHe was 7 on the 9th & we have her birthday party planned for this afternoon 4:00 at the pool. It was closed last Sunday so we chose today. Tomorrow is Charlie's actual birthday #10. Annie's first FCMS basketball game of 2010 is tomorrow 5"30 @ Murray deep in St. Augustine. Lucy has openhouse @6:00p.m. & there is a room mom meeting after. I have not bought Charlie's birthday present yet. Charlie has Baseball practice & Annie has softball practice. Seems like there were even a few other things on our calendar for tomorrow. It was already overflowing, but we can always make it work. The Dr.s said we need to return to Wolfson's tomorrow morning as well to repeat the labs for a 3rd time. Dr. McClelland said she would call me today when she gets the results. I wonder if I will hear before Lucy's party? Should I can the party or forge on? What if they make Will stay at the hospital? What if his counts are still down? What if they are normal & he just has a virus. Then we will be celebrating Lucy's birthday, Will's health, Annie's new team, Charlie's birthday & Kevin's new job!!!! Yes... Kevin will be returning to Citibank on the 4th of October. His current situation has been very challenging & difficult in many ways, work load, benefits, time. It was a rough summer for him & the kids missing him. He was offered a position with Citi on Friday. They will even bridge his time. He was thrilled, excited & relieved etc... etc... We had been waiting & hoping this would happen. Unfortunately our excitement was short lived when we felt like we needed to take Will to the ER. I always worry when my children complain of something hurting for no apparent reason, mainly because that is how I remember our friend Preston's symptoms starting. When Lucy complained of her hip the summer of 2008, I worried. She had no other symptoms other than being lethargic. It was her kidneys. It was scary, but they fixed it. Will has been complaining that his back hurt. He has had a fever. HIgh for a minute but generally it has not been too high. I thought this sounds like maybe his kidneys . The pediatrician sent us to the ER Friday night. 8 hours later they told me his white blood cell count was low & his platlet count was low. The reason for this is he either has a virus or Leukemia. Kevin cannot seem to understand how we can only have 2 choices. Why are there no other possibilies in between? I called my friend Kara who is a nurse at Wolfsons to see if she could give us more insight. She said there are no other possibilities. It is either a virus or Leukemia. I better go wake Will up now, head back to Wolfsons & continue to pray for a virus. Hopefully our next post will be great news & pictures of Lucy's birthday party, but I can't help but be a little worried.
