Friday - Still Sick

Well it turns out Gracie does have some sort of bug. This morning she still had the diarrhea and wouldn't eat anything. I stayed home from work with her and she was in a happy enough mood. Not wanting to eat anything does cause issue with getting her seizure meds in her though. It took us a while, but we finally got them all down.

Gracie was very snuggly and good-natured despite not feeling great. She played quietly, we read lots of books, and I even let her watch more TV today than what I usually allow. Isn't that a perk of being sick?

Gracie and I both took an hour and a half nap. That felt good. She awoke renewed and as the day was nice (although windy), we went outside on the deck to blow bubbles and just get some fresh air. When Jeff got home from work, we went on a walk. Gracie didn't want to walk far herself, but rode on my back for most of the way. When we got back from our walk we put her in her wheelchair and went for a little longer of a walk. She enjoyed being out in the fresh air.

We came home, had some strawberry soy smoothies (laced with seizure meds) and just hung out. That was when I noticed Gracie was running a low grade fever and she was becoming very clingy again. She still had smiles, but was tired and run down. We all sat and watched an episode of Sid the Science Kid, read a couple of bedtime books, and she fell asleep instantly. I hope the Tylenol helps with her fever and that she has a good day tomorrow.

Sweet dreams to you all.

Love,
Lisa, Jeff, and Gracie
