Tired Thursday

Gracie had another restless night. She was up about every 2 hours for a bottle which made for a short night. She awoke about 5:30 a.m. and was ready to be up. She was daddy's girl this morning and had some nice smiles early on. Her good mood didn't last long as she was experiencing some stomach upset. Gracie's physical therapist Sandy came by today, but Gracie wasn't in the mood to do too much. She was a little worried that Sandy might want to take her away from mommy. She did show Sandy how good she is getting at walking and balance. Sandy gave us a few things to work on when Gracie is up to it.

Gracie took a 3-1/2 hour nap this afternoon -- I was in shock. I took a nap with her for the first hour, then I kept checking on her to make sure she was still breathing. She hasn't slept that long in a really long time.

This evening we went to the clinic for a weight and blood pressure check as well as blood labs. Her weight is just over 33 lbs. and her blood pressure was just fine. She did very good with the blood draw also.

Gracie was a happy girl this evening, but tired. When 8:00 p.m. came along, she was pretty much ready for bed. I think I will join her shortly.

Love,
Lisa, Jeff, and Gracie
