A Prayer Request...

Last week I went to the doctor to get some blood work done. I got my results back today. The level of my Anticardiolipin Antibody was extremely high. My current level is at 48. The high end of normal is 11. I ask for your prayers at this time because, I am not sure what all of this means. Back in January and February I was going to a hematologist because of a spike in my levels last winter. The results were good, in that through blood test they established that I didn't have Lupus or Rheumatoid Arthritis. The doctor considered the spike that I encountered to be somehow related to my pregnancy (miscarriage) and I would have to monitor it the next time I was pregnant.

Now, I am waiting to get in touch with the hematologist and praying. I ask that you would please pray for me.

Charree, I'm sorry I missed the original post for the prayer request. I will continue to pray for you. For some reason it didn't let me post a comment on the updated prayer request. You know, I was cleaning out my garage the other day and I ran across a small piece of paper from my doctor mentioning something about anticardiolipids. I was trying to figure out what he meant. I'm not sure if you know, but I was diagnosed with Lupus as a teenager, around 17. I'm happy to hear that you don't have it. I will continue to lift you up in prayer. Did you sister come to visit you? I thought it was for the end of April. Am I wrong?
