In the ER after a week on antibiotics for secondary infection and no c

I just got the results of the blood work and one said I had a very high count of immature granulocytes. Like a fool, I Googled it before talking to a doctor.

I'm here because I was still running a fever after 7 days on Amox-Clav for an infection diagnosed by the color of the flem I coughed up, yellow green. My chest is still tight and I get short of breath after talking a lot or moving at a slightly faster pace.

I've been here for 5 hours for tests. My Pulmonologist said to come to the ER and it happens he's working the hosital this week, this one. Since I got here my fever has been practically normal and my breathing seems better. Also, my blood O2 whent from 93 this morning, to 99 a half hour ago. It hasn't been that high in 3 months! I finished the antibiotics Tues. Maybe they finally finished doing there job?

More test results though, WVC 11.94, sort of high. Hgb 10, sort of low and ANC 9.42, high.

What I freaked out over is the immature granulocytes is a sign of blood or bone marrow cancer.

They are releasing me on new antibiotics and medicine for the thrush. Yes, we were all right. And the immature granulocytes means nothing. I'm not the first to flip out on it. I am actually doing better which was another reason to let me go home. I'll report more if I think about it later.

Merry Christmas to everyone.
