Gracie had another wonderful restful night. I'm starting to get used to these!!! :) Gracie awoke in a great mood and was very happy. Then it was time for breakfast and she took her first bite of applesauce with meds and held it in her mouth again. We left her for a little while, but we know now that she will not ever swallow once she starts holding. Hours later it will slowly get spit out...so I escorted her to the bathroom to brush her teeth...and dug everything out with the toothbrush. She hates to have it dug out, but once it is out is a much happier girl. Knowing we had to get meds in and be on time as I had a meeting right away at work, I made one of those 30 second microwave chocolate cakes. Gracie LOVES cake. I stood at the counter taking bites of my wonderful cake...soon she was begging for bites. How interesting that her bites had white sprinkles on top...white sprinkles of Topamax.
I contacted Gracie's pediatric neurologist today as Gracie has hit 40 lbs., and with weight increases come medicine increases. She agreed that we needed to increase meds, so we'll start that tomorrow. I foresee no problems and am interested to see if we will see a burst of cognitive skills like we usually do with the increases.
Gracie had a good day at daycare and had a pretty good night at home. At one point I was in the bathroom with the door shut. Gracie just hates when someone is in the bathroom with the door shut, she thinks she needs to be in on the action I guess. She was outside the door fussing. So in a sing-songy voice I said "Gracie...Gracie, where are you?" The reply made both Jeff and I about fall over. Gracie said all on her own (not repeating, but came up with the words all on her own) "I'm right here!" This is a big day...this was her first sentence. Very exciting.
It didn't take Gracie long to fall asleep tonight, she was a tired girl. Sweet dreams.
Love,
Lisa, Jeff, and Gracie
