Gracie had a good night until about 3:00 a.m. and then she got really restless. She kept waking up, would make frustrated sounds, would toss and turn and then fall back to sleep. She finally woke up while Jeff and I were in the bathroom brushing our teeth and she was not happy that no one was there to greet her when she awoke. But after a little snuggling and rocking with mommy, all was well.
Last night before I went to bed, I emailed Gracie's pediatric neurologist about her absence seizure and by 8:15 a.m this morning I had my answer. We will increase her meds tomorrow morning. Have I mentioned how much I love her neurologist? She is awesome! It will be interesting to see if we see any new cognitive bursts with the med increase. We usually do.
Daddy picked Gracie up at daycare and when I got home I could tell immediately it was going to be a good evening. She was all smiles. It was a great evening. She has been so good lately, she is just so much fun to be around. Just a few months ago our evenings were very emotionally draining and all of those issues seem to be disappearing. I give much credit to the guidance we received from the Sensory Specialist on how to get her the sensory input she needs.
Tonight I was reading a book to Gracie and one of the pages has a picture of some cake on it. She kept repeating cake and wouldn't let us turn the page. I think I've got stuck on that page before when reading that specific book. Do you think that is a hint that mommy should bake a cake?
Gracie is now sleeping peacefully.
Love,
Lisa, Jeff, and Gracie
