She was still pretty tired, but did get up and play just a little bit. Muntz and I were acting like idiots trying to keep her attention so she'd play longer and scream less. :)
Gracie still has lots of sores in her mouth and in her GI tract. They are still producing a lot of mucus and she is still having a hard time getting rid of it. We have a new contraption to assist, however. We have a miniature suction tube (just like the one the dentist has) to suck out mucus until she learns to spit them across the room. Gracie already hates the suction, but its better than watching her struggle with it.
All in all, no major complaints today. Gracie is still not feeling well, but that is to be expected right now. Daddy said she had a rough night last night, and that slightly increased her pain meds from 0.4 to 0.5 last night (compared to 0.9-plus, when the poo hit the fan yesterday). Daddy is pulling night shift again tonight because he has to fly back to lake city tomorrow and bring home the fat and oil free bacon. He'll be back in a couple of weeks. I know Sarah and Gracie will really miss him, but were very happy to have him around through these (the worst of) days.
Keep praying and chanting GROW! GROW! GROW! GROW!!!

So glad that today was better! Hope Jimmy has a safe trip home.
Yippy for a 0.4!!!! That is the best news I have heard all week.
GROW! GROW! GROW!
(Why does my brain keep saying "THROW, ROW, GO!"?)
I have 0.4... can I get 0.5??
I love you, and wish I could be there. We're all cheering for you!

Hope Jimmy has a safe trip home. That contraption sounds interesting. If it's reminiscent of the nose sucker I'm sure she DOES hate it. Way to GROW Gracie!! Keep it up!!
That's it! Keep up the growth spurt Gracie. We are thankful for the counts and pray for no more O2 issues. We too will be so happy when this junk gets cleared out.
