South Florida Babies

Good vibes for my little guy, please!

A little background.

I took Liev to the pediatrician last week because a couple of weeks ago because he had had a fever for a few days. I happened to mention he had been having some pretty big nosebleeds for no reason at all.  It had happened the night before the pedi visit so she looked in his nose and there were no scratches so that wasn't it.  Labs were ordered but we had to wait til this week to do them since he was sick.  Got them done on Tuesday.

 This morning as I was driving I got a phone call.  I usually don't answer when I'm driving but I picked up.  "Hello, this is your son's pediatrician's office, we are calling about his lab results".  That is never comforting to hear, my heart sank to the bottom of my stomach.  They wouldn't tell me anything on the phone except he was being referred to a hematologist and they were making the appointment for me right away.  I will into the pedi's office tomorrow for ear infection follow up and then they told me the doctor would discuss the test results with me. Turns out I had to make the appointment myself so they gave me the number.  It's the hematology and oncology unit at Miami Children's Hospital.  Again, never really comforting to hear.

So, I have no idea what's on but my imagination is running wild.  I've thought about every worst case scenario and by the afternoon I was bawling.  You know, I'm a mom, that's I do, worry.  Not knowing what the f... is going on is killing me.  I know they think that not telling you on the phone is better but it's not, it only makes you think of the absolute worst.  I mean, if he just had low hemoglobin they'd just tell me so clearly this is serious.

I'm freaking out. FREAKING OUT.  I can't really tell anyone IRL either because I don't want to concern my family needlessly but I need to tell someone because I'm going out of my mind.  If you are my FB friend, please don't make any reference to this.

Keep my little guy in your thoughts!  Thanks for listening.

  • Oh no June.  I'm so sorry you are going through this.  Understandingly, you are worrying.  Hope it all turns out to be nothing and pedi was just taking extra precaution.  ::hugs::

  • I am so sorry you are going through this. I agree that it is worse to not say over the phone, especially when you have to wait overnight. Is the appointment tomorrow? I will be in MCH  seeing a specialist with the baby tomorrow so if it is, let me know if you need anything. Liev will be in my prayers! xoxo

  • thinking of you guys, xoxo. Waiting to have your child diagnosed for anything brings anxiety to an all time high. I was in your shoes not too long ago. Big big hugs for you.

  • I'll be sending lots of good vibes your way.  I hope it's nothing and are just following confidentiality procedures by not telling you over the phone.  Please, keep us posted!
  • How scary :( I will keep Liev in my T&P! Hopefully it isn't anything too serious and the pedi's office will put your mind at ease. It's good to prepare for the worst but expect the best - it could be anything, and God willing it'll just be something with an easy, painless fix.

    ::hugs:: hang in there. Let us know how your appt goes tomorrow.
