I had thought (and said to many) that we would do whatever Gracie wanted on Monday (today) and Tuesday after her surgery. We would have fun and do whatever she felt like doing. I guess I underestimated her because I cannot keep up with her. She is wanting to run and play and shop and eat and ...
We had a doctors appointment this morning at 9AM. I am not really sure you can call it a doctors appointment. Dr. G came into the waiting area just before 9AM where we were the only ones. He watched Gracie play for a bit and talked to us. He looked at the bandage on her eye and then told us that everything looked good. He would plan to take the patch off on Wednesday morning at 8AM and then we were free to go home (barring unforeseen circumstances). It was quick and we were happy to hear that things were on track.
We then walked a mile or so to the Houston Museum of Natural History. It was a nice little walk. They had a special butterfly museum that Gracie was excited to see. We had a good time there for an hour before MacDonalds for lunch. Then we saw a movie in the IMAX theatre at noon. Gracie seemed to enjoy the movie and we did too (it was Night at the Museum 2). Then we went through the main exhibits for a while before calling the hotel shuttle and coming home. We got to the hotel and Gracie ate a lot of Lucky Charms again. Then she wanted to play some computer games with me before asking to go for a walk. So we went to the front desk to see if they had any basketballs or soccer balls to play with. We got a basketball and played for a while but it was pretty hot. Gracie had a fun time throwing the ball into the volleyball net or kicking the ball around the court. Now Stephanie and I are trying to relax but Gracie is running around and playing a game with her pretend Dinosaur friend. It does not seem like losing an eye is slowing her down much yet. She is our little hero and we are truly excited to see her feeling so well.
Thanks, as always, for your support and prayers. It has meant so much to us to get the comments, e-mails, notes, phone calls, etc that we have received!

We have been following ya'll closely the last few days and she has been such a trooper. It is so hard for me to see her with the patch on her eye, knowing that her beautiful eye is gone. But I have to be grateful, too, that her cancer is gone. And she is still there. She hasn't slowed down and she's still happy and energetic like she always was. We love your family and we'll keep checking the blog while we're out of town to get updates. Good luck Wednesday; I hope you get to go home!
That is our Gracie! Hope you 2 get some rest.
