Hey!
I am very sorry to hear about your mother. Another expression for spinal tap is lumbar puncture. This is a diagnostic procedure, used for MS and other neurological conditions, although MS cannot be definitely diagnosed or excluded. It is most often used for diagnosing MS that is extremely discomfortable and has potential of causing big damage to person. Spinal tap involves collecting cerebrospinal fluid (the fluid in central nervous system, blood, blood serum). It includes analysing and comparing them.
