Hello, we're experiencing a possible complication.  A spinal tap, labs and ct scan have been ordered to rule out meningitis. We appreciate your continual prayers for Amanda.

Just to be clear, I was quoting Manders father who was posting on her blog ( see the link.) I can see now my post is confusing.

Good thoughts and prayers for Amanda as she struggles with these unwanted complications. 

Jim
4.5 cm AN diagnosed 5/06.  Retrosigmoid surgery 6/06.  Follow-up FSR completed 10/06.  Tumor shrinkage & necrosis noted on last MRI.  Life is good. 

Life is not the way it's supposed to be. It's the way it is.  The way we cope with it is what makes the difference.
