Mom is doing okay. She has been in serve pain in the middle of her back. Friday night they did an X-ray of the back. Saturday morning when Dr. Irvin came in her notified her that she has a broken vertebrae in her back. So that is the cause of all most of her back pain. This is a break with in the last 2 weeks. Mom has not fallen or physically injured her back. The doctor said it could have been a simple sneeze, we just don't know.
Saturday Dr. Bonoraunt came in and let her know that she needs to have a MRI done this morning. He is looking to see if there is anything effecting the spinal cord. Which could do further nerve damage which could effect the whole body. Basically by doing the MRI it can rule out other things.
The other thing that they want to do is biopsy her right hand. They are wanting to see if there is infection or tumor in the hand. So that could be done today as well.
They can't figure out why the sjogrens is not reacting to the high dosage of steroids that she has been on. Her ANA and SS-A blood test are not reducing. So that is still a mystery.
I will keep you all updated. Thank you for all your prayers.
Love
Davis family
Merry Christmas

Diane and Family,
Sorry to hear of the newest of problems. I have been through this for 2 and a half years and my prayers are with you. I had kinda eased off as it seemed you were doing much better. They have already started and I will be watching the blog for God's wonderful attention to his loved ones. Steve and Ginny White
Shanna,
Thanks for the update. I was devastated to hear from Debbie Saturday that Di is back in the hospital once again! I bet she is so tired of not really knowing what is going on and feeling like this. Please let her know we are praying for her. I will check back for more updates.
