An Afternoon Quickie 5:01pm

Okay, so maybe not afternoon..but early evening!  Madrinha (godmother in portuguese) Dalila & Uncle Joe came to visit.. they have a nice time seeing Gracie..very emotional for all of us.  There last visit was 9/30, so Dalila says she's getting big..

So here they are!! Thanks for the visit..  Gracie's eyes were open.. because they tried to get the PICC line in & couldn't.. so someone will have to try tomorrow.  Madrinha got me a journal, and Gracie a 1st Halloween onesie.. Thanks for the visit guys!! :) xoxo

The surgery has been set for November 7th!  Which is one week from Halloween Monday.  Dr. Peter (Gracie's favorite attending doctor) came in to do a quick visit this afternoon.. we shrugged our shoulders & said "oh geesh, it's a hernia".. he's not back on days til January & I reminded him we will NOT be here then..but he's on for weekends & a few nights coming up..so we will see him.  He will continue to check on Gracie as well.  He's a good guy!! He's been with Grace since day 1..we like him! :)



Auntie Dalila & Gracie


Dalila held her for about 10 min; and I took over for a half hour or so.  She did great!! She's getting to be such a big girl now.

I gotta go do the 5 o'clock diaper change & temp check.

Rumor has it.. dinner is pork loin & applesauce & stuff.. yummy!! That'll be delicious!! Maybe I'll wait around at the hospital for Kelley & Josh.. so to make sure I have dinner pals to eat with.. I can't get caught in that oh so young crossfire! Sorry, but come on now.. :)

Here she is! Looking bright eyed & bushy tailed!!


A good afternoon!! Hoping for a weight gain for tomorrow morning!!



Love you guys,
pattie & gary, gracie & max
