Home Again

Abby was discharged from the hospital tonight at approx. 10 PM. Today she had an MRI and a lumbar puncture. So far we know that there is a "light" on the pituitary gland that was seen on the MRI. That is believed to be from the radiation. Her lumbar puncture had a 13 cells in it that are being sent to a lab for examination. We will not get the results of that until next week. In addition, she had a few blood tests yesterday. One showed that her thyroid levels are low and she was given meds to improve that. Another is a protein level to determine if there are any tumor markers. Results from that will take a few days. She also had an eye exam from the Ophthalmologist and it was determined that she needs to wear her glasses 24/7. She has a follow up appointment at the end of October with the Ophthalmologist.
