Teething & Hasbro. 8:54pm

Well, Miss Grace had a tough time sleeping last night.. her hands are now always in her mouth, her gums are looking very white..and I'm expecting a tooth or two to pop up very soon right in front.  So, we are tired tonight.. Gracie is already sleeping..let's hope she stays that way all night.. I'm soon behind her.

Today was the last day with my IL's, they are leaving tomorrow..

although sad they are leaving, I'm glad they got to meet Grace & had a good time.

They came over daily, and cleaned our house; did the dishes, folded laundry.. even my 86 year old father in law was cleaning the carpet of spots! :)  They are very loving people.. and we got take-out for dinner nightly..(i'll be glad to go back to somewhat cooking, need to eat healthier.. and lose some weight!!)

Here's some great pictures from today & the IL's:

Noni reading to Gracie!!

Noni & Grandpa!!

It was nice having them here!!  Thank God for nice in-laws.. :)

On the Hasbro front, we went for a follow-up today.. Gracie has been doing great without the NJ tube for 12 hours..we fed her thru her g-tube & it has not had much leakage.  This morning, she took 20 ml's with a bottle by mouth!!

Her doctor was happy how the skin around the g-tube looked today, and we have another f/u on Friday.  They really just need to stay on top of the leakage, if any.

And there was some leakage this afternoon.. soo we'll just stay on top of it.  She is on continous feeds at 30ml's an hour.. but at noon today, she drank another 35ml's (35!!! the highest she's taken by bottle since even in Maine!!).. by bottle!!

So there was a little leakage near the gtube area.. but she's doing well..

I got the go ahead to give her oatmeal & bottle..

Tomorrow, Daddy is back to work.. :(

We have had him home, since his parents were around..and Gracie coming home from the hospital.. he's been working from home.  Tomorrow, just me & Grace again.. I hope I can get her back to her schedule of napping!!  OT will be back in the house on Thursday..and speech therapy next week.

Thanks for reading!!

Love,

pattie & gary, Gracie & max
