Day 2 Round 5

I'm happy to report that today has been completely uneventful. Gracie has been doing wonderfully well. She spent a little time in the play room. She watched LOTS of Little Einsteins (her absolute favourite). She did crafts when the activity lady came to the room. Basically she's been a good girl passing the time as best as she can. The chemo must be making her tired though as she fell asleep around 6pm and she still shows no signs of waking. We were pretty sure after falling asleep so early she'd wake up late and then be up much of the night. So far, so good though. Gracie's just started to get her chemo for tonight. I'll try to stay up with her while the infusion is running which will make it a very late night tonight. James stayed up with her last night so it's only fair that I take my turn tonight. Thank heavens James was able to fall asleep early tonight. We've already got things arranged for discharge tomorrow so hopefully by the time we're ready to leave, they'll be ready to let us go. James took advantage of everything going so well today and went to the Houston temple. Usually we attend in San Antonio, but being that we're already in Houston things worked out well for him to go today. As always it was a good experience for him. Next month I'll go while James stays with Grace. It's nice to give a short and boring post while Gracie is doing chemo. It reminds me of how truly blessed we are as we go through this experience.
