Wednesday - Occupational Therapy Day

Gracie tossed and turned and awoke at 1:30 a.m. and thought it was time to get up. I did convince her that it was still sleepy time. She had a pretty restful night otherwise. She awoke at 5:00 a.m. and was quite snuggly and then was ready to play.

Just yesterday I was saying how good she is about taking her medicine, well Gracie must have read the blog and decided to make life a little more interesting this morning. We give her sprinkles and crushed pill meds in applesauce. She took it just fine. I looked away to put her liquid meds in a syringe and she just opened her mouth and let it all spill out.

I picked Gracie up at daycare at 3:30 p.m. and we zoomed to the clinic for her first occupational therapy appointment. Gracie's therapist, Emily, was great and did many of the same things with her as her ECSE teacher Emily does. She also got to bounce on a balance ball. She thought that was great fun after she got used to it. She did have an absence seizure while sitting on the balance ball. I didn't like to see that. I will have to talk with her neurologist about those when we see her in April...or sooner if we see them happening more often. I'm noticing she has them when overtired or in a new or stressful situation. She also charmed just about everyone in the elevators at the clinic...smiling, flirting, being very social.

Gracie was starving by the time we got home and snarfed down her dinner, then we played for a while, but she was so tired. She fell asleep at 7:30 p.m. and is snuggled in for the night. I hope this doesn't mean an extra early morning.

Love,
Lisa, Jeff, and Gracie
