sierra Update #2

Sierra had her biopsy yesterday afternoon. She was supposed to go in at 11:00 but didn't go until 4:00 pm. I am so very proud of her, she finally did her biopsy awake. Usually they put her under general anesthesia, but this time she was so brave. She stayed awake while they just numbed the site where they do the biopsy. She decided that maybe she'll do awake every other time.

No results of the biopsy yet. They did say her pressures were high in one chamber of her heart. So, they gave her a second dose of steroids. A lot is pending on the results of the biopsy. We still don't have a lot of answers. She is looking and acting great! Thank you for checking on us.
