Home again...

We are home. Wow- life is a bit unpredictable. Peter took Annabelle into the ER last night thinking that they would draw some blood for a culture and send them home. The first thing the resident told him was that they would be staying 48 hours and that is standard procedure for kids on chemo with a port. SOOO, Peter stayed overnight. My mom came this morning, and I went and relieved Peter this morning so he could go to work. Annabelle was released after 24 hours (a very nice surprise) because her counts were pretty good and the culture was negative so far. Her fever is down in the 99's. She was so calm all day and didn't feel like leaving the room. So it ended up being the easiest day in the hospital yet. She didn't eat anything all day except some strawberries for breakfast and a few sips of milk. So she isn't all better yet, but she is at least pleasant. The doctor said as long as her fever stays below 100.4 she doesn't need to come back. So that is what we are hoping and praying for.

A few praises to update you on:
- We haven't seen any signs of relapse yet (due to the illness).
- Our insurance paid for our visit to the specialist in IL (including the spinal tap)!!!
- Our blood pressure machine was covered by insurance also.
- The Lord is comforting our hearts through each trial.
