I decided to combine yesterday and today as they were both similar. There have been fewer doctors coming in to check on Lanie, which is a sure sign she’s getting better. The rash that was bright red and took over […]
There wasn’t a lot going on with Lanie today. Her liver numbers were up a little again so another doctor from infectious disease came to look at her. The rash seems to be going away. It’s not so bright red […]
Today was mostly a day of neurology doctors, checking on Lanie’s spine and going over the MRI results. Dr. Rubenstein was here this morning, explaining that the MRI showed and confirmed that fluid is leaking from the lumbar puncture site and […]
2:06 a.m. Nurse Eric came in, took blood for labs; vitals were taken. Took about 25 minutes. 6:10 a.m. Nurse back in for meds. Tech was in as well, took vitals and Lanie’s weight. 7:40 a.m. Transport arrived to take […]

Lanie had a horrible headache all day today. When I got there this morning, she was lying in bed with a terrible, debilitating headache. She couldn’t sit up because her mouth would begin to water as if she were going […]
We actually had some great news today — Praise God!! Lanie isn’t in remission right now, but both her lumbar puncture and bone marrow biopsy results were negative for leukemia in her body and cerebrospinal fluid. There are some questionable […]
Today (9/24/18) marks Lanie’s 3rd consecutive week in the hospital. Lanie’s platelets were only 15 this morning; so they gave her more right before the bone marrow biopsy was done. I hate that she had to go through another one. […]
Today was the day Lanie had the lumbar puncture. We won’t know the results of it until Monday. I was hoping we’d get preliminary results, which the doctor said could happen, but we haven’t heard anything. It wasn’t as painful […]
The doctor just left. There’s not a lot of change going on today. They will be giving Lanie more platelets and more blood. Her counts are low, as expected. She will have her lumbar puncture tomorrow afternoon. Dr. B says […]
