Gracie update

FINALLY Gracie is feeling a little bit better. Praise the Lord!!!
She hasn't had any Tylenol or Motrin since Friday night at bedtime. She ran a little bit of fever on Saturday, but not high.
The new antibiotic they gave her on Friday seems to be doing the trick. Since it's easier to take on an empty tummy, she has been able to keep it all down.
She is still very sleepy and just lays around most of the time, but I'm sure that's because she's so weak from not having eaten much of anything in 7 days.
She is eating a little. Mostly snacking. She will pick something out and take a bite and then cry and want something else.
I'm sure her little appetite and taste buds will be back to normal sometime this week.

In the meantime, I relented and gave her bottle back to her because it's the only thing she will drink out of. And, we've not worked on the potty training at all because she just hasn't felt good. Yesterday, she would come to us and tell us she was wet and she needed a new diaper (which was hilarious!) so I know deep down inside she's ready to get on with the big girl potty!

Hopefully this week I can gradually get her sleeping in her own bed again, get the bottle back from her, and begin working on the potty training again.

Thanks for praying for Gracie when she was sick!!
