100 Days

We have reached 100 days of seizure freedom! Yahoo!!! We are all so excited to get to three digits in our count. Grace is oblivious to it. She is miserable today. She is tired and cranky and has a runny nose. Hopefully she will take a nap and wake up in a better mood.

Overall Gracie is doing fine. She is hovering at the 28 pound mark for her weight. Her hair is still thinning a bit. In terms of degrees, you can see her scalp through her hair when you look down at her head. It is not overtly noticable at this point.

Rita had her dance recital this week. This was her third recital. She loved performing and had the hugeswt smile on her face the whole time she was on stage. Grace is so ready to have her turn in the spotlight! She was taking dance earlier this year but we stopped it in March when things got crazy. Next year, Gracie can take a class and be a part of the show. She can hardly wait!

This is birthday party weekend for Rita. She has 2 birthday parties this weekend - one today at a swing set place and one tomorrow at Build-a-Bear. I get to take her to both. However, I was informed this morning that she would rather if her Father took her - he is more fun! Children are way too honest sometimes! I was surprised that she wanted Tom to take her to today's party - the guest of honor is the same boy how called her earlier this week.

While Rita and I are going to parties, Tom asked Gracie what she wants to do. Gracie's response is that she wants to take a walk. This is her frequent request. She loves to take a walk after dinner each night. A walk to Gracie is that she gets into a stroller or wagon and gets pushed or pulled around the neighborhood. Tom thinks it's funny that she wants to keep walking when she doesn't do any walking! Rita now likes to take her bike out. She will ride along while we all walk (or ride). The kids like looking for birds, rabbit and other animals while on a walk. It's good for all of us.

Thanks for checking in.

Marie, Tom, Rita and Gracie
