Clear scans!

We had a bit of a scare yesterday. After Brenna's MRI, she was supposed to have a lumbar puncture while she was still under sedation. The nurse came out and said she didn't want us to freak out but they didn't do the LP because they thought there was something showing up on the MRI. It looked like a cyst or mass that was blocking the flow of her spinal fluid, so they didn't want to mess with it, especially since Dr. Gajjar wasn't in to approve it. You know that feeling in the pit of your stomach you get when you go over a drop off in a roller coaster? Well, that was how I felt at that moment. Of course, we didn't get to find out anything official until today when she had another MRI and we got to meet with the doc. He said her scans were clear and he didn't know what they had seen but it looked clear to him. He rescheduled the LP for Thursday and I can breathe easy again. Of course, when we're on the road back home, it will be even better. We meet with the epileptologist on Friday morning to see if the MRI showed whether or not anything can be done about Brenna's seizures. Of course, by anything, I mean surgery. I'm not sold on that idea, but if that's what we have to do to, I just ask for God's wisdom in making that decision.
Tomorrow, we go to the endocrine clinic and she gets her cortisol levels tested. She also will have a pulmonary function test (lungs) and an echo EKG (heart). She's going to get fitted with inserts for her shoes to help strengthen her ankles and arches. One of the chemos she got on treatment, weakens her muscles and ligaments. But they think these will help her regain strength. She really walks on the inside of her feet. I wonder if they'll want her to wear flip flops this summer because they have no support whatsoever.
Anyway, another day, another test.
Oh yeah, clear scans were the best birthday gift I could get!! Praise You God!
