Weekend Summary

Well, after having a lovely time with Grace Friday night in which we chatted and watched Glee, we started off sleeping well. Our sleep was occassionally disturbed as they needed to do hourly observations of Grace. They tried to stagger these a bit further apart to not disturb her sleep as much. At around 3am, Grace wanted to go for a walk, when I told her it was 3am, she decided she should probably go back to bed.
Saturday morning was good, Gracie enjoyed eating most of her breakfast - her swallowing is getting much better! She is still getting better with her talking, she can speak at a whisper. This should improve over time, as will her eyesight, which at times is a little fuzzy.
Saturday afternoon Grace managed to walk all the way to the shower and back with the support of mum and a nurse - this is amazing! Now she's had this taste of movement, she wants to move all the time! She asked me Saturday morning if she could go for a jog!
The physio should be visiting her daily, developing her strength back up. It so good to see her more and more like herself.
On Sunday, Josh and Kel came in early with Noah and Maddie. This meant Mum could go to church in the morning. Grace was really excited to see them all, especially Noah and Maddie (as she hasn't seen them for a while). I arrived around 11am. As it was the first day in a while without rain, we asked the nurse if we could take her out to the balcony for fresh air. Gracie really enjoyed this, and we ended up being able to feed her lunch out there.
So praise God for lots of improvement, Grace is doing well. Now that she is a lot more with-it she's starting to get a little bored. So lets pray that there will be things to keep her entertained, as she still needs to be in hospital for a little while. Praise God that our Gracie is very much herself.
We can pray that her speech therapy (swallowing and talking) and her physio treatments continue to go well.
Please also pray for Mum as she hasn't had a long decent sleep in a while and is starting to feel the effects of it.
Thank you so much for all your prayers. She told us yesterday she can't wait to get back to church and school :)
