Lowest WBC Count Yet

Hi friends.  Well I had my blood test yesterday and had an EXTREMELY low white blood cell count.  It was at .5 (less than a 1).  My other levels looked alright and I don’t have a fever or show any signs of sickness, so they let me go home.  Otherwise if I had a fever or anything they would have hospitalized me.  Ack!  I’m feeling really worn out and have some nausea, but overall I feel okay (I’ve worked all week if that’s any indication).

The good news is my white blood cell count should be mostly recovered by Sunday.  Hopefully I’ll be feeling fully back to normal by Wednesday when I fly down to LA with Colleen!  So excited for our trip.  We’re staying at the lovely Hotel Bellamar (picture below) in Manhattan Beach and our friend Kimberly is flying in to meet us from Chicago.  We plan to lay by the pool, walk on the beach, shop, eat and drink for three baby-less days.  The perfect girls’ trip!  Of course we’ll miss our husbands and kids desperately. 😉

Thanks as always for all the emails, cards, gifts and meals that keep coming.  All of your love and generiosity makes me feel like the strongest, bravest person in the world.
