Spinal Tap

Arianne called late yesterday afternoon to tell us that Jake was undergoing a spinal tap. He started feeling numbness in his hands this week and mentioned it to the neurologist at his visit. He called him in yesterday to undergo a spinal tap to look for cloudy fluid. I'm not sure what that means, but I guess it will help tell them if he has multiple sclerosis or not. He is out of the hospital now, but has to lie on his back for twenty-fours hours. Pray for him please!

  1. Looking for cloudy fluid could also mean looking for symptoms of spinal meningitis.My Son had a spinal before, and thats what they were looking for.I keep you all in my prayers.God bless you.
