,

thanks for the reply! It helps me to know that others have been through this

and I'm not just a crazed Mom!!! It's so hard sometimes to go from one extreme

to another, that its mind boggling! I swear some days I just don't know whether

to laugh or cry, or both.

Thanks for the prayers!

Actually, we 've had the same thing happen to us, once.? I brought my

son in for severe (and I mean screaming at the top of his lungs pain) in his

feet and hands.? I had no idea what it could be, but he had just had open heart

surgery 3 weeks earlier so felt I should have him looked at (ER only place

open).? He actually improved dramatically in the triage area (only nurse saw his

pain at it's worse - then it disappeared).? But, since we were already there,

they wanted a cbc and a quick check over of him.? We were all about to be

discharged when his CBC came back with a WBC of 23!? I was freaked out!? But his

segs and bands all looked fine and he was acting fine so I was told that the

pain and the stress of the blood draw itself, can elevate the wbc.? It must have

been true, because he was fine after that.? LOL

Praying for you and your family.
