Yesterday was a really hard day for Valerie. She had the spinal tap and the bone marrow biopsy at the same time and all of the pain meds they gave her made her really sick. She had to spend 4 hours laying flat on her back after the procedures but thankfully she was able to sleep for most of that time. All of this took up a good portion of the day and she was also able to sleep pretty well last night.
We are in waiting mode this weekend because we will not get the results of either test until at least Monday. Today has been a good day so far with no real events to speak of except she is getting 2 Twilight "not so vegetarian" snacks today. She will need red blood cell and platelet transfusions about every other day now. We are so grateful for the people who do this out of the kindness of their hearts or for college beer money, either way it is keeping her safe and she feels so much better afterward.
I head back to Colorado again tomorrow so my update will be late in the evening.
