Update, Friday, February 11

Hi from Illinois:

Last night’s “welcome to Springfield” was 20 degrees and windy, much snow on the ground.

This morning, Grace saw Dr. Pranzatelli, who examined and questioned for about an hour and 1/2. Then, another spinal tap under general anesthesia and blood drawn for more detailed sub-assessments that the specialty lab here is set up to handle.

We don’t expect to hear from any of these tests today, but probably first of next week, with some of the tests taking 4 – 6 weeks to come back. Dr. Pranzatelli will help Dr. Ness and Dr. Dure lay out the next treatment.

Grace is keeping a count of blood drawn: as of today, 38 vials. 🙂

I read through the many emails posted on FBC Trussville’s website on the way up here. You are a constant encouragement to us. Thank you!

Grace says “hi.” 🙂
