We just dropped Paige off in what's called Pain-Free, the room where they are doing her biopsy. They put her to sleep with a mask, then gave her an IV, so she didn't have to get poked when she was awake. We won't find out the results for a day or two.
She has developed a lazy eye of sorts, so they are going to do a lumbar puncture (biopsy of spinal column fluid, which also circulates up to the brain, and is totally seperate from her other ah, I don't know how to explain this. But you can have stuff going on in your brain/spinal column, and a biopsy of her marrow wouldn't show it. So they are testing both to make sure they catch anything cancerous going on.)
She weighs 28 lbs, which is 8 lbs more than when she was so sick and gaunt. She was so cooperative and cheerful today, holding out her arm to be blood-pressured, and opening her mouth so the doc could look in with a light. And she bounced/danced/walked down the hallways.
In the car on the way here, we were all pretending to be dinosaurs, and Paige said, "I'm a baby dinasaur." in a growl-y voice. It was quite adorable.
So I don't know what the biopsy will show. Thank you all for praying, and for loving us. Your support has been so helpful. kerri
