Tuesday - More PT

Gracie had a good night, but had a really hard time waking up this morning. I have pillows around her mattress in case she falls off at night. This morning when she was supposed to be waking up, she purposefully rolled onto one of these pillows and decided that was where she was going to stay.

When we arrived at daycare I took her out of her car seat. While I collected her things, she decided to climb back in it all by herself. Now why doesn't she do this when I want her too? Gracie gets stickers at daycare every time she drinks out of a cup instead of her bottle. She's been getting lots of stickers and she was very excited to show me them this morning. She was beaming.

Jeff picked Gracie up and headed to the clinic for physical therapy with Leslie. The therapy gym was really quiet today. Although we love the activity when it is busy, Gracie was far less distracted and cooperated so well for PT today. She got to swing in a hammock to work on her abdominal muscles. She loved that!!! She did some running, climbing up steps, and bouncing. Gracie was in a great mood throughout the session.

She was in a good mood tonight and ate a good supper. She signed that she was "all done" and then threw her plate on the floor before I could get to it. Ugh!

Gracie got a whiteboard easel for Christmas from G&G D. and she drew beautiful pictures on it tonight. Then after she was covered in marker we threw her in the tub. She splashed up a storm. All the activity from the day tired her out and she was in bed by 8 p.m.

Tomorrow she has an EEG and then a follow-up with her neurologist. I hope and pray that we get good news. Daddy is taking her to the EEG tomorrow. It is very traumatic for her to get the leads on, so I hope it goes well. Last time it took three of us to hold her down. Poor baby.

If you have any extra prayers, please send them Gracie's way.

Thank you!

Love,
Lisa, Jeff, and Gracie
