Valentines & Spinal Tap

For those of you who didn't see Destiny's Valentine Box from last year here is a picture, sorry it is sideways. The picture below is Destiny's Valentine Box for this year. Yes it is a three tier cake. On the top Kristie & Destiny cut a hole in the middle of the first two layers for the valentines. They started working on this a couple of weeks before it was due and they still needed to finish it the night before. Destiny won over all in her class at school for her box.


NOW Megan! Friday, February 13th we headed out at 7 am for her spinal tap at 9 am. We got there and the doctor and nurses were concerned that we might not be able to do the procedure since she was sick and her asthma is acting up. They checked her lungs and her left lung had some fluid in it but it was a just a little bit and they would watch it while she was asleep. Matt was able to go in the back with her while they put her to sleep. He said it was quick and wierd to see her eyes roll in the back of her head. The procedure only took 30min, they took 3 syringes full of spinal fluid. That was wierd to see for me. The reason they took so much so they can do multiple tests. After the doctor was done we had to stay for another 2 hours and have her lay flat on her back. They said since they took so much if she got up her brain would drop, since our brains float in the spinal fluid. It took some time for her to come back to herself. She still needed to lay down for 24 hours after we got home. Matt and I think that was the hardest thing to go through, we had to practically sit on her. The doctor said that we will have the results by Friday, February 20th. As soon as I get them I will post the results. Now I know you are wondering about the blood results so here it is they came back negitive. Meaning that according to them the tumor isn't active. So far it looks like the tumor is benign. The doctor says it looks like we will be doing another MRI in 6 weeks. To answer some of your questions. There was never a bump on the outside of her head, and we haven't had to shave her head yet Darrell. Matt and I would like to thank you for all of your prayers.
