Last night I (JR) had the great opportunity to stay with Ms. Grace for the night. Although the entire time was great there were a couple of things that stood out that I think all of you who know Grace will get a good laugh.
First, while speaking to the doctors this morning she requested a couple of condiments from home to make her food more enjoyable. The first was balsamic vinegar, her favorite dipping sauce. The second, red wine vinegar, to mix it up sometimes, and the third was Greek Seasoning, which she like to add to her turkey sandwiches. The doctor's looked at each other and one said "Grace you have very sophisticated tastes"- it is nice to hear that they know her so well.
Because Grace's taste buds have changed their mind on a couple of things, turkey sandwiches are her prime choice. She usually has 3-4 a day, sometimes one for breakfast , lunch, and dinner. Speaking of turkey sandwiches another one just magically showed up in our room, it was Grace's after lunch, lunch.
The second thing that happened was that Grace cuddled with a seeing-eye dog. She then decided to paint her toenails pink, so today during rounds her doctor's commented on how beautiful the dogs nails were as it visited different patients after visiting Grace.
We have not heard a definite date for Gracie to return home, but when we do will will post it. I asked her is she wanted to leave today, and she said she did, but didn't think we could pack up her room in just one day.

Hi Grace:
My Dog could use a manicure. When you get better have your parents bring you to Denver and you can paint Mazee's toe nails any color you want!
Get better soon!
