The story of Tucker Ray, a 27-weeker with many diagnoses, and his baby brother, Easton John, a 34 weeker aka big brother's shadow. Here I post about the challenges and joys of working full time, caring for two rambunctious boys with my husband, and leaning on God for wisdom in the midst of the chaos.

Muscle Biopsy and Lumbar Puncture
My laptop officially died last week, so it has been tough to update! I am at Mom's right now, typing this update...I can't believe we are leaving for Houston tomorrow and are going to be away from computers until Saturday:( Very hard for me! We usually bring the laptop along...something crushed it...very suspicious! I am fairly positive that Tucker stepped on it...
So I am up late, laughing with my mom and sister Sarah:) Trying to forget that we leave, yet again, tomorrow. It freaks me out everytime we go anywhere, or put Tucker under for any procedure, no matter how small.
He will see the anesthesiologist Thursday afternoon, then go under for the Muscle Biopsy and Lumbar Puncture Friday morning. He will then stay overnight at Memorial Hermann, then hopefully we will leave Saturday morning.
We will get the results 6-8 weeks later. My current problem is the waiting, as usual. We have been waiting on one thing or another since Tucker was born. So maybe once these results are in, we will have some answers.
Tucker's second-to-last day of school is tomorrow:( He will miss two days while we are in Houston. I am in denial about the school year being over, May 24th will be a very sad day for our family:(
Keep us in your thoughts and prayers!

I hate that I'm going to miss you this time! I'm praying for safe travels and safe procedures that give real answers (whatever that is!). Call if you need any help while you're here.
ReplyDeleteI hope that the biopsy and lumbar puncture goes well and gives you the answers you need. Keeping you and Tucker close in my thoughts.
