Uncreative Title Thursday

It was another rough night for the girl. Lisa sat up and rocked her for about 45 minutes, and then I ended up walking/bouncing her for about an hour before finally falling asleep on the couch at about 4:30 a.m. Again, Grace was having a hard time breathing while in a lying position. After mom left for work, Grace and I napped until a little after 8:00.

Grace had a good day. We had lots of fun singing, walking and playing. Grace is becoming more of her old self. She teased dad again today, stole my glasses (putting about 8,000 fingerprints on them in the process), and just did alot of stuff that makes me laugh.

Grace took a 2.5 hr nap this afternoon. I felt sad having to wake her up, because for the first time in a few days she was resting peacefully and breathing without wheezing like crazy. But - today was "weigh-in" day where we go to the Clinic and get weighed, blood pressure - and an added bonus today - blood draw. Grace was a trooper for the whole process. Didn't even cry when they stuck the needle in her arm.

I think the reduced meds have certainly changed her moods. The ladies that do the blood draw, who know us enough that they say, "Oh look, it's Gracie" before we even check in, noticed that Grace smiled at them for the first time since we have been having the weekly blood draws. She is indeed returning to be our social, smiley girl!

Love to all,

Jeff, Lisa, and Gracie
