Hannah's doctor called today with the results from the spinal tap. They were testing the fluid in her spinal column because of the severe headache she had last week. They were thinking it might be aseptic meningitis or that Leukemia cells were in her spinal fluid, where they had previously not been.
The test results came back with NO cancer cells in her spinal fluid!! It did come back with extra white blood cells there, so Dr. Chow said they think she did have inflammation there, which is the aseptic meningitis. They gave her medicine for that as soon as they suspected it when we were in Children's so, we are good. She hasn't had another headache like that since, either, thank god.
Anyway, that's the news! One more back poke tomorrow then we get a whole week break from the hospital while they wait for her blood counts to go up. The next Friday starts round two of some really crappy chemo treatment. Hard stuff, but we will make it. Looking forward to a normal week! :-)
