[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 150854, member: 84"] I swear that was the strangest doctor appointment I've ever been to. Travis' red blood cell and platelet counts are normal. Which should not be with the polycythemia unless he's had bleeding. doctor said so herself. But Travis says he hasn't. So I'm thinking this is good. BUT (why is there always a BUT when it comes to Travis??) BUT two of his wbc counts came back abnormal. This she didn't like. BUt with Travis having been sick she is hoping it is the after affects of a virus. Although Travis hasn't had any symptoms of illness in the past 2 weeks. She wants him back in 2 wks. If it's the wbc's are still abnormal she has a whole boatload of other tests she will be running. Gee, seems like I've heard that before. Oh, yeah. Back when we were in the process of getting the polycythemia diagnosis.:knockedout: I was told not to worry, it's probably the aftermath of a virus. So now we wait. Again. In the meantime his blood results don't match his symptoms. His hands and feet shouldn't be red if his rbc's aren't sky high. And she kept repeating that it was "normal" like she couldn't believe it either. Not sure what to think now. I guess no news is good news. I'm going to hold on to that for now. Thanks again for the support. (((hugs))) [/QUOTE]
