Back in Maine..

We've been away in NH for the last 2 days..

today we were at Maine Medical Center..the first time we've been back since

we left with Grace on 12/5/11.

We met up with our little friend, Will (who was Grace's little friend in the next room over when she was in the NICU)..it was SOO nice to see Will & his mom, Kelley..we hadn't seen them since

August of 2012 - at Grace's first birthday!

Here are some pictures from today:

 with Grace's Doc from the NICU.. 'Peter'..

Sticking out her tongue!!

  Many of the nurses from the NICU came out to say 'HI" to Grace..they were amazed by her very Curly hair!!  her outgoing personality.. and she said "hi" to all of them & waved!!  This is Susan, who was a  HUGE part of Grace's life when she was in the NICU..

felt like a life time ago..but also emotionally I think we were more overwhelmed than she was.

It was soo nice to see the respitory therapists, & the nurses.. Sue, Susan, Andrea, soooo many came out to visit with us & Will.. soo many familiar faces.. but unfortunately can't remember all the names..

THANK YOU, MMC!!!

Will & Grace back together again!!

 Grace hugging Will..

Topped off with a lunch in the cafeteria..where Will offered Grace his mashed potatoes

& told her to eat some of his yummy Green Beans!!

It was a nice visit! 

thank you!

love,

pattie & gary, Grace & maxwell
