Monday, in the hospital

Cindy and I got to the hospital safely this morning after a very nice weekend with Dori and family and the delicious food and hosptitality their family gave us. Thanks so much!!  Cindy didn't have the spinal tap until this afternoon and it was a bigger procedure than her previous ones.  They had to run a small plastic tube through the needle into her spinal cord which the dr did right in the room but under very sterile conditions.  The tube is hooked up to a machine that is monitoring her spinal fluid pressure so Cindy has to call the nurse anytime she needs or wants to sit up or get up for a period of time to keep the reading accurate.  The spinal tap is a painful and very uncomfortable procedure, which she really dreaded going through again, but the dr did a good job and it did go well. She can feel the tube in her spinal cord,  it's uncomfortable but not too bad.  She's just very thankful it's done. 

We are so hoping and praying for answers this time.  The drs have all been very kind and helpful and also seem to want to find answers for her too.  We spent quite a bit of time talking to them and both them and us asking lots of questions.  Her main neurologist's name this time is Dr Solomon, which we thought was interesting.  We are hoping that God will give him the wisdom to find healing for Cindy.  We know that God knows all things and knows what Cindy's problem is, and are just praying that God will give Dr Solomon and the other drs the answers and Cindy will be able to once again live a normal life.

Thanks so much for all thoughts and your prayers!!
