...where laughter lives: The Riggs Family: Abby Got To Come Home

Abby Got To Come Home - The Spider Party Is On Like Spider Kong

Abby got to come home late tonight. She had a bunch of fluid drained off her brain, but there was no reason to keep her longer so they let her come home. She feels awful and is throwing up a lot. But we are home.

SpideyLandis is having a birthday tomorrow,
so we are glad that didn't get cancelled.
He'll be webslinging with friends, presents and spidercake.
(it's fun when your SpideyDad is a graphic designer...)

Thanks for all your kind encouragement and prayers for Abby. If you can leave a spiderwish for Landis in the comments, that would be cool. You have to "spideytalk" though, or SpideyLandis won't understand...
