Today Hannah had two more procedures done-insertion of a mediport and the lumbar tap. We were uncertain if these two procedures would actually go as scheduled since the night before, in Stony Brook ICU Hannah was given an incorrect medicine, and given quadruple the amount she should have been. Thankfully, it wasn't something that hurt her, but it was very scary for us.
She came through the procedures very well, and tolerated the anesthesia (a word I couldn't even spell before this) very well, much better than from the other two surgeries. She is still sore and complaining of back pain, but they are not sure if it is associated with the lumbar tap or not since it's not in the same area.
On Tuesday night we traveled up to Boston with Hannah so that we could begin our process of setting up her proton radiation treatment. Hannah made the trip fairly well, but I wouldn't want to do it again anytime soon with her in this condition. We are at the Holiday Inn right now, awaiting our insurance approval for Hannah to be accepted into their inpatient rehabilitation at Spaulding Rehab Hospital. Hopefully that will come through by Thursday, when the hospital says they will have a bed ready for her.
More tomorrow on our progress.

I just want to wish you all the best. I will keep you in my prayers for a speedy recovery. Tell Hannah I that we will keep her saddle warm for her and that everyone at the 4-H camp misses her.
If there is anything I can do please let me know
