Monday Fun Day!

Gracie had a great night last night and awoke at 6:00 a.m. and was all lovey dovey. I got lots of kisses and snuggles. Gracie and I hung out at home this morning while daddy went golfing with Grandpa. We played and read books and even went out for a stroller ride. Gracie was so tired, she fell asleep in the stroller, but awoke quickly when we returned home.

Gracie was full of energy and the desire to explore today. She was into everything she could get her hands on. Although we have to keep a very watchful eye on her, I love the fact that she is curious about everything. Even the neurology resident at the hospital commented on Gracie's need to roam and explore. She said a curious mind is a learning mind and we like to see that.

Gracie took a two hour nap and then we headed over to Grandma and Grandpa D's RV for a picnic. Aunt Kathy and cousins Calvin, Maria, and Josh were there too. Gracie was on the move and enjoyed walking around, watching the kids play basketball. She went on a walk with Grandma and had a busy and happy time. Gracie did fall on the concrete drive and skinned her leg.

By the time we got home she was exhausted from all that walking, playing, and fresh air. She is peacefully sleeping.

Tomorrow we have a follow-up appointment with her PM&R physician. This is to talk about progress with her foot braces, as well as plans for continued PT and OT at the clinic. I think Dr. D. will be impressed with Gracie's progress.

Love,
Lisa, Jeff, and Gracie
