We're counting down to the Lumbar Drain. Aimee is hoping it will help with her pain. We got her beautiful auburn hair brushed out and in a pony tail on top of her head and braided. She just got another dose of morphine for the pain and they're going to give her some platelets before the procedure. I'm really praying this goes off without a hitch so she can do it with the local instead of general anesthesia. She's being so brave and I keep telling her she's a little warrior princess fighting the pain and to get better.
We found out she has tested positive for some blood disorders. We're going to be adding a hematologist to the treatment team. What the tests amount to is that she was predisposed to form clots because of the blood disorders. I guess it's just one more piece of the puzzle.
So far the test for Lupas have come back negative though so I'm glad of that.

I'll keep her in my prayers...all of you guys! Those lps are not fun at all, but if they can drain enough off it should help her feel better. What a strange ride, eh?
