I just spoke with Debbie, they have left the hospital. The MRI was clear, no problems that were seen, so a spinal injury has been ruled out. The doctor has ordered a spinal tap for tomorrow, he is looking into Guillian Barre Syndrome. It is a rare disorder - you can read it about it here:

She has been off of morphine today due to the testing, so the doctor ordered a dose of 4 now and will give her a dose of 2 every 2 hours for now. She is having some digestive problems and they will be looking at dealing with that along with monitoring her lungs since that is one of the dangers of Guillian Barre.
I will leave any further updates to Beth, Cindy or Deb when they can get to a computer. This hospital and doctor seem to be very aggressive and we are thankful that we have pitbulls for sisters right now and that they were able to get her moved!
We will continue to update, thank you all for your love, kind words and prayers.
