Gracie is still battling her repiratory virus. This weekend it started to all loosen up and her nose was constantly oozing, for lack of a better word, snot. She was happy enough all weekend and Saturday she was such a good girl. We kept her home all weekend, hoping some down time was exactly what she needed to get over this crud.
She is starting to play with toys more and it is fun to watch her and interact. Sometimes she wants to play with someone and sometimes she just wants to play by herself. I think both are such a good sign. She also has been enjoying drawing and coloring quite a bit lately. She informed me one particular scribble was our house! She Skyped with Aunt Cheryl and Uncle Russ on Saturday night and she thought that was so fun, she wanted to do it again on Sunday. We figured once a weekend was enough.
We increased Gracie's seizure meds on Saturday and that seems to be going well. I really haven't noticed any difference yet. We usually see a cognitive burst when we do the increases.
On Sunday, Gracie was a little more moody. She had some pretty loose diapers and a lot of gas (she actually took ownership for her toots rather than blaming them on daddy), but had the appetite of a horse. On Sunday, I hadn't even thought about lunch yet, when she took me to the bread around 11:00 a.m. and told me she needed a sandwich and insisted on it right then. She gobbled down a full peanut butter and jelly sandwich and then asked for another that seemed to go down just as easily. Then she ate two containers of applesauce, part of a banana, and "a treat" - a fun size bag of M&M's. I know she would have eaten more had I let her. She ate a good supper too and she is definitely growing again. I had to add more clothes to the donate pile again.
Gracie was a bit restless last night, but awoke in a good mood. She went back to school this week after being sick all of last week. I have a feeling she will be tired tonight.
Happy Monday!
Love,
Lisa, Jeff, and Gracie
