Thursday - An Abundance of Smiles

Gracie had an extremely restful night. She slept so peacefully, which means that so did I. She awoke in the absolute best mood. Gracie had an abundance of smiles. She was so much fun, I just wanted to stay home all day and play. If it wasn't for that mortgage payment each month, I might have considered it.

Gracie had a good day at daycare. She was wearing a babydoll smock type top and when we arrived at daycare, Gracie's little buddy Kylie decided she needed to check out Gracie's tummy...and then her belly button. It was very cute. I'm not sure Gracie was all that pleased with it though. When I picked Gracie up from daycare, she was out taking a walk and enjoying the nice day.

Gracie ate a good supper and when she had eaten most of her meal, I took out the M&M's. An instant smile spread across her face and her eyes just lit up! She is definitely her mother's daughter...come to think of it, her dad is an M&M addict also.

After supper, we took Gracie out for a stroller ride. She had a great time and her arms and legs were moving the whole time. Well that is until she had another absence seizure on us. This was a pretty long one. We increase her Topamax again on Saturday, hopefully that will help with the absence seizures.

Gracie was so tired tonight. She fell asleep about 8:15 p.m. and hasn't move a muscle since.

Tomorrow Gracie has an appointment with Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics. This is an appointment to follow up on her progress -- it was originally scheduled for January, but she ended up being hospitalized for pneumonia. So we are a little behind on this appointment, but we've been closely followed by her pediatrician and her neurologist, so I think we are fine.

Good night to all.

Love,
Lisa, Jeff, and Smiley Gracie
