OK so I lied....

OK please forgive me, I know I said I would update...but it has been wild and crazy around here.
Let me just tell you that Amelia's bone marrow biopsy went off with out a single problem. We arrived at the hospital at 8:45 and they took us back to the little waiting area before surgery. Met with the anesthesiologist, met with the child life specialist, met with the Hemoc doctor...and she was off to the OR by 10:30 and they were all done by 11. Dr Ducos came and talked to me about everything and said they would be calling me back to see her. I called dad to inform him that she was done and everything was fine and there were no tears shed by anybody! We were in the van and out the hospital and at Mc Donald's by 12:30...and boy did she eat! She had a double cheeseburger, french fries and 6 chicken nuggets. She did great the only thing she took for pain was a half of an extra strength Tylenol...later I found her at home running and jumping and riding on the golf cart. You just can't this little girl down! She is feisty.
My dad took her home for me and I was off to see the ortho.doc. They took x-rays and all, but the x-rays were fine. So upon examining me he touched on a spot that made me come off the table and he said Aha...possible torn meniscus...He told me the worst case senerio is that I would have to have surgery on the knee...minor surgery with the scope. So its a wait and see game, I have my MRI scheduled for Tuesday at 9 am and then a return appointment on Aug. 31st. I told him about Vegas and he said that if I needed surgery it could wait till after, but if no surgery is needed he would try to get it better before then which I doubt because we leave in about 3 weeks. I am so ready and excited!!

Now we sit and wait for Amelia's results, please pray there are no abnormal cells and that there are no signs of leukemia starting.
Well I am off to a birthday party with some great friends, I made the cake so I'll have to show you those pictures soon too!

Glad everything went well! Do they do it in the OR then? They do Emma's in a procedure room and we are allowed to stay with her 100% of the time. But I think we have an odd dr. He's the only one that let's us stay.

Praying for good results and no chromosome changes:-)

good luck with the knee. Grrrr... Must be frustrating.
