Tues Afternoon

As the day goes by Cindy continues to improve little by little and head in the right direction.  We are still waiting for the MRI to get done this afternoon.  The spinal tap was done and all I can say is that they know how to do spinal taps over here.  I think we are going to hire the guy (Dave) to do all her spinal taps from now on.  Her opening pressure was a 20 which is a little high.  They took a little bit of fluid out and about an hour later she said she is could tell a difference.  Hopefully tonight or tomorrow we will here about the report of the shunt test with infection and how long she will need antibiotics again.

You know yur witness is strong to those you quietly observe you walking this path. I know Emily has been very concerned for you the last few weeks. In our thougths and prayers. Wish we could help out in some way.

So glad to hear you say "things are going in the right direction." That is just good news! We are also so glad that Dave knows how to do these spinal taps. That makes such a HUGE difference because those are usually so awful for her. We are praying things continue to get better!
