We are headed back to Children's here soon, but I wanted to let everyone what is going on. I'm sorry if it isn't very detailed. I will add a better update soon.
Wednesday night Hannah was readmitted to the hospital. She has a strange, constant headache that is not presenting in the way you would expect considering the procedures she has recently had. She had a spinal tap on Monday. We also found out in the ER Wednesday night, that Hannah had a sudden drop in red blood cells and needed a transfusion immediately. Those are the two things the doctors are concentrating on as a reason for the headaches.
I think they are wrong. There are a few other oddities in symptoms that make me feel the headache is a symptom of a separate issue. However, I was unable to research this while in the hospital. Sometimes, it is hard to get doctors off a scent. I have been up to eyeballs in medical lingo, so I haven't had time for a proper update.
I am off now to go argue with doctors. Please pray for Hannah. She is struggling through the best she can. I am so proud of her.

I'll be praying. I hope she feels better soon.
ReplyDeletePraying for your little one & that her headache is nothing serious. I know that chemo can sometimes cause a side effect of high pressure in the brain. I am not an expert on it but ask the Riggs' about it http://www.riggsfamilyblog.com that is where I first read about it.
ReplyDeleteI will definitely pray for her. Thanks for keeping us updated.
ReplyDeleteThinking of you all, and sending nothing but positive thoughts. Big hugs to brave Hannah xxxx
