Me, Sick? What?

My OB informed me that my blood work came back abnormal. He asked me to come back in one month and have blood work done again. So...Merit had an ear infection, I stayed home with him and I decided to have my blood work done on the way home from Merit's doctor appt. My doctor, Dr. Tyuluman, called me one day later to tell me that he was going to have to send me to a specialist. He said that my white blood cell count and my platelets were extremely elevated and he didn't know what do make of these results. I went to see a hematologist/oncologist, Dr. Juturi on Tuesday afternoon of the next week. She ordered blood work to be done upon my arrival and then I waited for the results. My dear friend and my sister's mother-in-law, Sharon, went with me. JP stayed home with little Merit. Most of you know, JP is not good with needles, blood, etc. It's a good thing he didn't go because Dr. Juturi ordered a bone marrow biopsy immediately. My white blood cell count was 46,000 and my platelets were elevated to almost 900. Everything was happening so fast! How could this be? How could I be sick? I kept thinking to myself, "I am one of the healthiest people I know!" Sharon prayed with me while we were waiting for the nurse and doctor to perform the biopsy. I was a little scared. However, it was amazing the amount of peace that God gave me. Dr. Juturi offered to give me an anti-anxiety drug to help me relax but I didn't want to take any unnecessary drugs. The procedure was painful but not near as bad as I thought it would be. I left the office with so many thoughts running through my head. It is hard not to think of the worst possible things: cancer, leukemia, etc. Sharron and I prayed again after we got to my house. JP was scared and he cried when I told him of the seriousness of my health. I cried a little too. Once again though, God was by my side. I felt as though I was sitting in the palm of His mighty hand. I knew He would take care of me as always. To bed we went and amazingly I slept!
