First Blood Pressure & Weight Check

A quick update to let you know Gracie had her first blood pressure and weight check at the clinic this evening. She has gained 1-1/2 pounds and is now 29 lbs. I think she gained it all in her little cheekies. Her blood pressure was good, even a little lower than in the hospital.

Gracie had a pretty good morning, but an uncomfortable afternoon. Her physical therapist stopped by, but Gracie was not feeling up to any PT so we just talked a bit instead. Gracie did show her how her balance while standing is improving. We talked about getting Gracie a helmet for when she starts to walk, as I think it won't be that long and I can foresee lots of falls as she continues to perfect her balance. Gracie did take a number of steps for daddy tonight. The incentive...the TV set, she loves to stand right next to it.
