Cathleen,
I wish they could give you definitive answers and stop the hip pain, but for now I just hope you and Hanna can get through this appointment.
If the previous bone marrow biopsy was painful, make sure the staff knows it and they use enough painkillers this time. An MRI can be disorienting and very noisy. They have medicine that can reduce anxiety if you want to ask about it.
Hanna will probably take her cues from you, so if you're brave and confident about getting through the tests, she may be too. But I guess you've been through plenty of medical exams and tests already, so you probably already know the best ways to help your daughter. Good luck.
