Phew - We Made It!

All in all, the day went pretty smoothly.  Thanks to everyone for your tremendous support.

Today, Carl and I were up at about 4:15 to get everything ready to go and try to be alert for the drive.  Samantha, coincidentally, woke up and was chattering in her crib at about 4:30, so we grabbed her and were able to get her moving without having to wake her up, which usually generates Cranky Baby.  Phew. 

Everything went as smoothly as you can expect in the hospital.  The procedure took about twice as long as expected, and the only info we have on that is that they were trying to get additional/good angles on the film.  Who knows.

Sam was an absolute champ.  She made friends with all the nurses and giggled all the way up to going under.  We even played wth the mask so when they put it on to give her the gas, she was smiling through it.  I don't think she had a moment of fear about the whole thing.  Mommy is another story.

She (so far) has had no significant after-effects of the anesthetic, either.  She's still barely nibblng solid food, but that's really how she prefers it anyway. 

Carl took some adorable shots of her at the hospital on his cell phone.  I'll try to download and post them over the weekend.

As far as actual results, we are not scheduled to see the neurologist until Aug 5.  I don't expect to hear anything from them until then unless there's something really scary on the films.  So cross your fingers that you hear nothing until Aug 5.

Thanks again for all your support.
