Yesterday Gracie had her 6-month (actually more like 9 month) post-operative check on her ears from having ear tube removal surgery. Her ears have been fine, so I didn't expect any issues. I was kind of hoping they would say you're dismissed from our care. Well, her ears did look good for the most part, but her eustachian tubes aren't as flexible as they would like them to be, so we need to keep a watchful eye on her ears. We'll schedule another hearing test and follow-up in July and then decide if anything needs to be done or if we just need to keep a watchful eye on it.
We waited a long time for her appointment as they were pretty backed up, but Gracie was a trooper checking out all of the lobby computers, taking walks around the lobby area, and watching a show on TV that mommy didn't love her watching (Hannah Montana). She did good in the actual exam room and as we waited there she made a request of me...she said "sunshine"...she wanted me to sing "You are my sunshine".
Gracie is amazing me with her verbal skills, she is learning more and more new words and it just makes our life so much easier with her telling us what she wants and needs. Last night when Auntie Cheryl called us on Skype, Gracie went running to the refrigerator exclaiming "applesauce, applesauce"! Gracie thinks she needs to share a container of applesauce with Cheryl every time she calls. It's hilarious. She never forgets.
Gracie had a pretty good night again last night and woke up a pretty happy girl. Once again she got "cake" for breakfast...one bite of a brownie, one bite of applesauce laced with meds, one bite of brownie, one of bite of applesauce...well you get the picture.
Daddy has to work all weekend, so I'm thinking Gracie and mommy may have to go to the mall! :)
Have a great weekend.
Love,
Lisa, Jeff, and Gracie
