Aplastic Anemia
Well, the specialist called and based on the bone marrow biopsy (which I had on Monday) results, it would appear that I most likely have aplastic anemia, a rare hematopoietic disorder characterized by pancytopenia and a hypocellular bone marrow. I receive the news without much emotion, since I'm still in a bit of a fog. My wife has created an e-mail list to ask our fellow Christians to pray for us. Maybe that's why I'm so calm and peaceful for the most part.
I continue to work, although I'm restricted to telecommuting because my white blood cell count is too low, which means I'm very susceptible to infections.
