We made it home last night by 8:00 pm. It was a pretty smooth trip. We do not have results of the spinal tap yet. Hopefully, we'll get them today. While driving home yesterday, our pediatrician's office called saying they had been called by Dr. P's office in IL saying that Annabelle's glucose was slightly elevated and needed to be retested this morning. Thankfully, we got in at 9:50 so she didn't have to fast too late into the morning. The instant read blood test showed she was perfectly in range; we think the oral meds they gave her before the spinal shot her blood sugar up a bit.Dr. P and his staff seemed very pleased with how Annabelle is doing. When get the results of the spinal we will also get our "directions" for the rest of the treatment. So, I'll fill you in on that when we know. 
A little leg stretching stop along the way.
I had what I thought was a good idea... a protein bar before bed since she couldn't eat the next day. She enjoyed it and was bouncing up and down in her pack-and-play for the next hour and a half.

Before surgery.
Snoozing after. She had a very hard time waking up. She was all out of sorts and tossed around, and we couldn't get her to calm down. She cried all the way to the car in my arms. Then, she wouldn't go in her car seat. This was very uncharacteristic of her. I held her in the back seat. Peter prayed, and she immediately calmed and stopped crying. It was amazing.
We stayed at the Ronald McDonald house. It was a nice home away from home.
The next day, we went to see where Abraham Lincoln lived for 17 years before going to Washington. It was very interesting. Here are some of his original furnishings including his desk, dresser, horse hair couch, and kitchen stove.
