FRRREEEEEEDDDDOOOOMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!

Because Gracie is eating and drinking so well she does not have to be hooked up to her second booty (IV Tower). Walking around her room, sleeping, and visiting the bathroom has never been easier. As for her blood, her count is still low today, but rising. 

On a side note, Gracie has been eating very well. Last night I was waiting in line to pay in the cafeteria. I had two items that could not have been further apart. In my right hand I was holding a bowl of soft-serve Dryer's Rocky Road (for myself since Grace thinks all sweets are "too rich"), in my left hand I was holding a half bowl of cooked bay shrimp from the salad bar. A last minute request from Grace before she went to bed. Of course the looks I received from the cashier and the others in the line were priceless, especially since I think they noticed my painted toe-nails with hearts on them. If you haven't figured it out already, all of you will be happy to hear that Gracie is taking full advantage of the fact that mom, dad, brother and sister are willing to do anything to make her happy.

Grace sounds like she has more sophisticated taste than most adults I know! I'm so glad to hear she's free of the "booty" and eating well. McKenna talks quite often with Grace on her "cell phone." She wants her to know that she loves her and can't wait to play again. We praying for you guys often. Emily and McKenna
