UHas to see neurologists tomorrow and then neuro. Opthomologist. Her vision has worsened in 3 weeks. It was 20/20 then. Dr told me to expect them to order lumber puncture. PRAYERS PLEASE!

My prayers with youand your daughter. Hope the lumbar puncture results reveal something. Please be aware that some times after a lumbar puncture there can be headaches, dizziness and the person needs to be steady. Hope and pray for a diagnosis that can be resolved.

Becky,

I know that when one of our pups is hurt, we feel helpless. But, when a child, who understands and can tell you how they are feeling hurts and that they are scared, well that is the worst of all.

Is it possible that you could stay with her (in her room) at the hospital? Even if you have to sleep in a chair? That could be very comforting for her during these troubling/scary times.

Continued best wishes and my prayers for you and your young little girl!

Waiting for the hospital to call when a bed is available for Riley. Arg! I can't stand this waiting! it could be in 2 hours or maybe tonight!

Becky, I've been praying for Riley this morning and now will add this "setback (no bed)" to my prayers. That has to be so frustrating. Hopefully a bed will become available very soon!!

We are at the hospital now. They won't do the lumbar puncture until tomorrow around 11am. We just have to occupy a bed so she has one tomorrow.

Gail Mc · **Joined:** Fri Sep 10, 2010 9:55 pm **Posts:** 946

Glad Riley has a bed at the hospital. Continued prayers!

Well its done. The staff here were wonderful but for Riley it was s nightmare. She cried so hard over the iv then when they drugged her she got dizzy and cried even more. Because she wax so wound up they gave her as much medicine as possible and she was still crying. I had to leave procedure room and she was groggy and still crying. They where only able to measure opening pressure she was so upset that they didn't get a fluid sample. So we will see doctors in a few days. But for now we get to go home and keep her lying flat.

Bless her heart. I'm so sorry she is going through this. I don't know what they are looking for but, whatever they find I pray can be treated and healed quickly.

beckyboo · **Joined:** Sat Apr 23, 2011 3:35 pm **Posts:** 912

She had the lumbar puncture (which was a nighmare as the is horribly needle-phobic)and only were able to measure pressure which was ok(22?) since coming home she had back spasms and spinal headaches for a few days but she is better now. She hasnt realy had a headache since monday but she still has vision black outs which last for a few seconds. We will see a neuro-opthomologist on the 13th and the neurologist again on the 14th. Realy wish i had more info but that is all for now. I realy appreciate all the prayers and ask to keep em coming for her
Thanks,
Becky
