Gracie had a restless night, but awoke in a great mood and it was instantly apparent that she was feeling better today than yesterday. She was a happy girl all day long. We had no issues with seizure meds or food holding at all today.
Gracie did figure out today that the eggs in her Easter basket contained "candy". It has been sitting out for two weeks and today she did a little exploring. She was rewarded with Smarties and bits of a Rolo.
Gracie and mommy hung out this morning and she was in a very good mood. She even cooperated during our church service (mostly).
Gracie had a much better appetite today. Supper was a huge hit - I put turkey breasts, potatoes, and carrots in the oven to slow cook in a gravy sauce. She could not get enough of the carrots and potatoes to the point that when she was done with her second helping, she started helping herself to the food on my plate. She got two mini Reeses peanut butter cups for dessert and thought that was a huge treat.
We walked to the local elementary school today as the weather was gorgeous. We were excited to see that the new adaptive swing we had been hearing rumors of had been installed. Gracie was in heaven. The smiles were huge..Huge...HUGE! Because there is less chance of her just letting go and falling, we can let her swing higher...oh she loves to swing. She also climbed on the jungle gymn to get to the slides. She had a great time. She did not want to go home.
When we did get home we had some drinks and then played with her new bubble blowing octupus, which was a huge hit. She kept saying "bubble" over and over and over again. We also just ran around in the backyard til it was supper time.
Tonight she seemed exceptionally tired, sat and snuggled for book after book after book. I was sure she would fall asleep quickly. I was greatly mistaken. It took her over an hour to fall asleep. I'm in step one of trying to get her to be an independent sleeper. Step one is that I'm no longer walking and bouncing with her to fall asleep. Ha, I broke down tonight.
Have a great week everyone.
Love,
Lisa, Jeff, and Gracie
