Its not possible to comment without knowing the details of the 'extremely high WBC count. cause of enlarged heart should also be evaluated. Wish you the best.

Not feasible to properly address your complexities as beyond the scope of this general public educational site. Would see a cardiologist and possibly an infectious disease specialist ASAP.
