After the hospital located the drugs needed to send us home on Saturday (which took a couple of hours), we headed home. Gracie slept much of the way and has been tired much of the time since then. However, she is doing quite well and goes through periods where she is her normal bouncy self. The swelling in her eye is minimal (particularly compared to last time). She does not like the drops that she needs but tolerates them. We are continually grateful for the love and support that has been shown by friends, family and neighbors. It is nice to know that people care so much for Gracie and our family.
Gracie had an appointment today to undergo some badly needed dental procedures (she has had dental problems for a while and the chemotherapy is not helping with that either). I just got a phone call from Stephanie explaining that Gracie did not allow the dentist to stick anything near her mouth. She refused to let the dentist work even while her mom was right beside her. So they need to schedule an OR visit to do the procedure under anesthesia. She had already received a bunch of medication this morning to treat for potential bacterial infections during the dental work and she had received the pain killers for the procedure so I think she will be out for the morning at least. It is sad that everything could not get done today and that Gracie has to go the hospital again near her next chemotherapy appointment (it has to be when her blood counts are high).
We continue to hope and pray that Gracie will keep both her eyes throughout all of this. She is such a strong little girl and we love her dearly!

That stinks about the dental appointment. She is still so little though. I don't think many 3 yr olds tolerate dental treatment well - Jared hates working on kids under 5. Good luck with having it treated later. We're so glad to see that her eye didn't react the same this round - what a blessing. When are you guys going to Disneyworld? We just booked a trip for the first week of march with my parents. We're excited for you guys to go, but wondered when Grace is able to go with all of the treatments?
Just checking up on Gracie, we want to still go donate plateletts (spelling?) Let us know when and we will go.
