October 13-October 20 - Petscan & Spinal Tap Happen

Ok... So Monday October 13th comes. They schedule Chris to go down to down to petscan and to radiology for the spinal tap.
The reason they do spinal tap down there (when they are not successful at bed-side) is because they can see exactly where they need to poke to get to the spinal fluid. A neuroradiologist does the spinal tap... and then a fellow (From Dr Strair's team) does the push of chemo into the spine.

Well ,listen to this...
Remember the fellow that told us on October 10th that her brain was not efficient? Yea, well she was the one down in radiology who was to push the chemo... She was not there at first... She walks in, and immediately his blood pressure and heart rate went up. When it was time for her to do her part, the neuroradiologist actually tells her to assist him and he takes over. Chris said she looked like a fish out of water.... So spinal is all over... the fellow leaves.. and the neuroradiologist basically agrees with Chris that he has no confidence in her.

Chris is sent back to his room. I come back to the hospital. We spend the night hanging out...
I go to work the next day (Tuesday Oct 14) The team of doctors comes around.. still no petscan results... ugh...
Finally Chris is frustrated waiting for results. they usually rush to get his results
He calls Dr Strair and immediately he is like "why havent the petscans been read yet?"
40 minutes later he calls Chris and tells him there is new activity on the petscan. He tells Chris he can go home and come see him in 2 days...
October 16th, we go see Dr Strair. They tell us about the new activity. Dr Strair needs to find out if these 5 new lumps/growths on Chris's thighs, belly, and elbow are leukemia or not. We have an x-ray after the appointment to make sure that there are no growths on bones that might cause a fracture. And, we have the biopsy of a bump on the right thigh scheduled for Monday the 20th
The 20th comes.. Dr Partridge- who we love- removes the growth... Chris feels good.. they used a local.. so he can go home almost immediately... we go home and await the results... it shouldnt take more than a few days...
