Sometimes one wonders whether some tests are worth it. The spinal tap on Wednesday has resulted in severe headaches for Rhonda (on top of the headaches she has from GB). In addition, her GB has flared up again. Usually, it only hurts in her legs when she does too much activity, but now she feels numbness and burning in her legs and arms. We're not sure why. We called to get the results which we had understood we could learn about on Friday. The doctor is out and won't be back until Jan. 28. Needless to say, we were quite frustrated.

On top of all this, Cody has come down with the flu. Only mommy could console him, so he slept in her bed one night and she hasn't gotten a lot of sleep. We don't know if Rhonda is also battling it and that is why she is feeling bad. She's taking tamaflu.

Please pray that Rhonda can make it through the weekend. She has an Immunoglobulin treatment on Monday that we hope will address her hand /eg symptoms. We're also praying that the spinal cord headaches subside so she does not need a blood patch. We also hope and pray she doesn't get the flu. Right now, it feels like a long time until Monday.

Thankfully, Cody does seem to be doing better.
