Jan 13th

Jess had a kind of a rough day today. Medford called this morning and wanted her over there for a spinal at noon so she and Jon took off around ten to get over there. She didn't really feel it, but she must have started to get anxious on the way over (not sure why though?), so she had to stop because she was sick on the way over. She said that they were very nice, but it still hurt like heck. They put shots in her spine first to numb it and then she said that he had a lot of tools there and asked for about 15cc of her blood out of her picc line; which he inserted into her spine. They want to make sure if there is a leak that this will cure it. She had to lay there for about 2 hours and then head over to get chemo. Since they were running so late they didn't get done until around 6 pm. The doctor had told her that she needed to drink lots of caffeine and stay on her back for the next 24 hours. Plus he does not want her bending down a lot or picking up things more than 10 lbs (that leaves out her puppy) :( She and Jon got a hotel room for the night so she could lay down and I know that I feel more comfortable with her being by her doctor for the night. Plus she has chemo again in the afternoon. Well, I am mentally and physically beat tonight so I am off to bed. Please put her in your prayers. Love to all, Cindi
