Hi @shels93. I’m so sorry I missed your post earlier. It’s really frightening when you get news such as your husband’s. It clips you right off at the knees. The good news is that his doctor is on top of this now and he’ll be getting the help he needs.
His blood at 30 is in reality 30,000. It is low but it is still not dangerous and he should ok until his next appointment in a week. Just use caution when handling knives…my hematologist would tell me to stop practicing my knife juggling act for a couple weeks…I appreciated his sense of humor. 🙂
Welcome to Mayo Connect. As you found, there are a number of members in the same boat as your husband. We all gather together around our ‘kitchen table’ to help each other out. Will you let me know how his appointment goes?

@loribmt thank you! After rereading my post I realized I forgot to include the fact that I first reached out to his cardiologist about the breathing as he had a heart valve replacement 3 years ago; they are the ones that said he needed to go to the ER (I don't want to come off as a hypochondriac). I did realize the 30 was 30K but that number just scares me. I'll let you know how it goes; thank you again so much.
