Amy! I got tired just reading about your day. I hope and pray you will get

good news when your get all your lab results back. It is very concerning that

your protein is so high.

Please let us know.

Wow that is a lot of testing for one day Amy!

I am praying and hoping that all will go well and that is nothing

serious.

Oh Amy,

Your reference to 3+ almost stopped me in my tracks, until I read 13 tubes.

What can they possibly need 13 tubes for? You must have nerves of steel!

I'll be checking my email tomorrow for your post.

Hi Amy, That's a lot of testing in one day! At least the Drs are

paying attention to your symptoms - sometimes that doesn't happen.

That's not good about your protein spill; maybe all those problems

elevated it. Let's hope it goes down again.

Good Luck! Gloria
