Daddy's Girl For Daddy's Birthday

Gracie had a very rough night. I think the Prednisolone is messing with her stomach. She was up at 11:30 p.m. and 2:30 a.m. for a bottle. She tossed, turned, and moaned all night long. She awoke at 4:00 a.m. and literally screamed while I changed her diaper. I walked and rocked with her til about 5:30 a.m. and then fell asleep until 6:45 a.m. She awoke in a good mood and had a very good morning.

Yesterday anytime Jeff would come near her she would fuss and fidget. It was like she was scared he would take her from mommy. He couldn't even get up from a chair and she would start to fuss. Well today she must have realized that it was daddy's special day -- his birthday. She was daddy's girl big time this morning. Daddy could do no wrong and she did not want him out of her sight. For the first time ever (or at least a long time), I went to take her from him and she didn't want to come.

Gracie had a very rough afternoon and evening. The only thing she wanted to do was be held and bounced. She moans alot these days too, it just breaks my heart. It seems like the second and third dose of Prednisolone just make her not feel good at all. Even watching TV isn't comforting for her and that is usually a distraction she enjoys. As for spasms, the only ones we are seeing are during her morning nap, she'll have one or two really light ones. As I mentioned in an earlier blog entry, we're not even sure that they are spasms as they usually don't occur during sleep.

Wishing you all a very safe and healthy New Year! I don't think our household will stay up to bring in the New Year. We'll be happy to greet it in the morning.

Love,
Lisa, Jeff, and Gracie
