I may have mentioned Gracie's love of hot dogs. We have transferred this over to Lil'Smokies. These are great food for her as she gets a bit of a bigger portion and they are high enough in fat content that they take away some of the stand-alone fats that she needs to eat. Gracie is now starting to get hungry and she wants more to eat at times. This morning we heard mantras of 'More Mokies' over and over.
Gracie has 'returned' to her funny, clever, silly little self. Yesterday, she saw me preparing her medicines and she ran away to hide. Usually, she 'hides' in bed under the covers. Instead, Gracie hid right outside the doorway to the kitchen. She ducked down and covered her eyes. I walked past her twice - once on the way to check the bed and the second time to ask Rita if she saw Gracie. Rita said, she is right there - right behind you! The girls both had a good laugh at that. (I have included some photos of her hiding spot!)
Gracie is doing a bit better at eating. She is actually starting to feed herself again. For a while she had no interest in foor whatsoever. Now she seems to have some interest in parts of her meals. We also found that she will drink more if we put the drinks in the little bathroom dixie cups. I think she likes asking for more and actually getting it!! We have been mixing her heavy cream with instant pudding mix (sugar free - of course!) and Gracie seems to like it. She loves the idea of getting dessert! The last picture is one of her with her 'pudding' on her face. Feeding time is getting a bit better!
Hope all are well!
Love,
Marie, Tom, Rita and Gracie
