My daughter has a chronic health condition and I have learned to always have a copy of tests sent to me because well.... some offices are staffed by morons. On the other hand, playing Google MD doesn't help the situation when I get said results in hand. Thoughts and prayers for your family.I hope they resolve whatever is going on VERY SOON! Mir,

I am sorry to hear that Chickadee is still having some problems. My daughter has a chronic health condition and I have learned to always have a copy of tests sent to me because well…. some offices are staffed by morons. On the other hand, playing Google MD doesn’t help the situation when I get said results in hand.

Thoughts and prayers for your family.I hope they resolve whatever is going on VERY SOON!

It's called a chocolatini. Give the truffles to Chickie, and the 'tini to you. And remember to breathe. Did you know that you can put chocolate with alcohol? It’s called a chocolatini.

If her *white* count is high, that usually means just an infection, which antibiotics or her own immune system will fix. If her *red* count is high, I also suspect the steroids or dehydration. (This also happens to smokers-- but no one is smoking around your kids, right?) If her platelets are high, there is medicine for that. It isn't unreasonable to ask to repeat the test before treating. Best wishes to the whole family! Oh, dear, stay calm… If her *white* count is high, that usually means just an infection, which antibiotics or her own immune system will fix.

Maybe her body is just sensitive to steroids. She'll be fine at the end of it, the doctor doesn't seem to be too worried, so nothing can be all that wrong, you know?

You can solve everything with chocolate cake, or at least tide yourselves over until your doctor deems to see Chickadee again. Chocolate cake!

I've heard That removing a certain amount of blood is one of the ways they treat it. They use a needle though instead of leeches, although I'm not sure that would be a comfort to Chickadee.
