As Ella was gearing up to start cycle 2 of chemotherapy, she passed out in school on Tuesday (March 5th). Terri brought her to the ER, where they ran test after test and, after not being able to figure it out, 7 hours later they decided she should be transferred to Children's Hospital. There, more tests were run including another MRI (it was actually an MRA, which inspects the blood vessels), and still nothing was found. The conclusion was that all of her symptoms (numbness in hands, balance issues, dizziness, nausea, breathing problems, blurred vision, and many others) could be attributed to chemotherapy effects--even though she hasn't had treatments the past 2 weeks. Ella received her chemo treatment last night since they were already there, and hopefully Terri and Ella will be released to go home sometime today.
