Gracie had another great night. She awoke this morning and after her initial sleepy grumps passed, she was in the best of moods. She was laughing and singing. She has an obsession with pushing the button on the TV that controls the channels. She just pushes continually -- that is until today she found CMT - the country music channel. She smiled as if she had finally found what she has been looking for and began to dance.
She sang and talked all the way to daycare. It was one of those great mornings where you just want to stay home with her and play all day. Gracie got to play outside today and was enjoying the afternoon sun when Jeff picked her up. Gracie had physical therapy at the clinic today and our PT was super impressed with Gracie's strength, steadiness, but most of all her cognitive skills and how much more aware and engaged she is. Gracie's legs have never been able to be flexed flat to the floor, well I've been doing stretches with her every day and her PT was able to flex her completely flat today -- this is HUGE!!!! Gracie has an obsession with the little sink in the PT/OT area and had quite a tantrum when she was not allowed to play with it this afternoon. Gracie's wheelchair is done. We have an appointment to pick it up next Tuesday.
Gracie was not too interested in eating dinner this evening. She did enjoy throwing it over the sides on the floor. She was in a good mood after dinner, but very tired. I also noticed a lot of twitches when I put her to bed tonight -- at least now I know those are nothing to be worried about.
She is sleeping peacefully and I think I will go join her shortly.
Love to all,
Lisa, Jeff, and Gracie
