Happy and Tired

Gracie had a wonderful night, she wasn't very restless at all, and even snuggled in with mommy for awhile. She awoke at 5:15 a.m. and was a bit grumpy, but snapped out of it fairly quickly. She also thought it would be great fun to let the applesauce with her meds in it fall out of her mouth. Thankfully she takes the meds for her epilepsy first and swallows them. It is the Vigabatrin, that is also an anti-epileptic med but was for the infantile spasms not her epilepsy, that she likes to let fall out of her mouth. I don't feel so bad about that as we will begin weaning her off of that fairly soon.

Gracie got in trouble at daycare. She likes to stand with her nose touching the TV and also discovered the volume button. After telling her no-no and multiple attempts to remove her from the immediate proximity of the TV, a coffee table was placed in front of the TV as a deterrant. She is a persistent one when she gets an idea in her head.

Daddy picked Gracie up at daycare and took her to get her orthotics this afternoon. They are too big for her current shoes, so she needed new bigger shoes. We went and got a pretty white and pink pair of tennis shoes in a size 10. We also picked up a pair of summer sandals that will work with the braces. We will have to slowly break in the orthotics and monitor Gracie's feet for irritation to make sure the fit is appropriate, so we will start her with them this weekend.

Gracie was so tired that she fell asleep on daddy's shoulder at 6:30 p.m. I was downstairs getting a bath ready for her. We decided that if she woke up when we put her pajamas on we would give her a bath, if she didn't wake up...no bath. Well she didn't wake up at all so has been asleep since 6:30 p.m. Now I have to take a dirty girl to daycare tomorrow.

Wishing you all a good night.

Love,
Lisa, Jeff, and Gracie
