We got as far as pre-op today. They even got Greg hooked up to an IV. Then we got some upsetting news from the physician’s assistant. His white blood count is way too high. Then the surgeon came and told us no surgery today. That was hard to hear. Antibiotics now. New labs on Tuesday morning. If the counts come down then surgery will be Wednesday morning. Right now they are way too high. 28000. If they don’t come down, he will be admitted so they can pinpont the cause. The word leukemia was mentioned. I am praying for normal white counts on Tuesday ! Thank you to my readers and friends that are praying with us!

I’m a simple woman…at least that what my DH (Dear Husband) used to say about me…I was a wife, I am now a widow, mother, step-mother & step-grandmother, quilter, and have a full time job in criminal justice. I lost my DH on May 22nd, 2011. I live in a small town in Texas. I love piecing quilts, I love quilting quilts. I have a serious addiction to fabric. I’ve been quilting since 1998, and purchased my first longarm, a Gammill Premier, in 2004. I upgraded to an A-1 Elite, named Corky, in March, 2007. I am in the process of rebuilding my life after losing my spouse.

Ramblings From Randi, The Wild Rose Quilter

Don’t GO THERE…..I mean it! No need to panic and think the worst. White count can be high from an infection. Antibiotics help that. Stay positive and keep your chin up. Stay hopeful and in good spirits for BOTH of you!
All that being said….I’m praying for you and your sweet hubby. Know we are thinking of you here in Michigan.

Randi, I do know how you feel. Like you are trying to run in quicksand and can’t get anywhere. Twice Lynn has had appointments for surgery and twice he had problems with his heart. He had to have stents one time and a heart attack the next time. J

Such an emotionally draining delay. All roller coaster rides come to an end eventually. But the ups and downs of this are very hard to take. I’m praying the antibiotics do the trick and this will all be behind you both on Wednesday.

Oh, Randi! What a roller coaster. The high white count is a red flag that surgery should not have happened that day, and we pray that the antibiotics kick in and take care of it. We hope that Leukemia is not in the picture, but if so the docs jump on it NOW. Please remind him that he is in our prayers, and you, Randi, close your eyes and feel all of the love and prayer surrounding you and family. (((Randi)))
