mittam99 Posted May 20, 2016 Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 Butch, I hope and pray Gracie gets back home soon and this is just a very tiny bump in the road. You and your family are in my thoughts. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R.Everit55 Posted May 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 I'm sorry it's taken this long to update I have been swamped with the boys. Gracie apparently caught a viral infection. Her tummy is sore and shes got some unusually loose and discoloration of her stools. And a temp. They are keeping her until this heals. And starts feeding normally again She's getting IV fluids Katie has decided to keep her just in their room away from the boys for a while when she does come home again. They probably carried germs home from school. Just until she's bigger and not so fragile. Ive explained to the boys that it's not their fault and they get it. They want what's best for their baby sister. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayc Posted May 20, 2016 Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 Oh Butch, I'm glad they know what is wrong and are taking good care of her. Katie is wise to take this added step and hopefully just for a while. I hope the boys understand it's not them, but because they're around so many kids and kids are carriers, they can't help it, just a while longer they can be with their sister. Maybe they can wear a face mask and wash their hands when they want to visit her? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.Everit55 Posted May 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 Yes Kay I thought of the mask idea so at least they can see her. But we will hold off on any snuggling her. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.Everit55 Posted May 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 Gracie is taking her bottles again. Not crying so painfully anymore and her temp is normal. She's very smiley this afternoon. So I suspect they will discharge her tomorrow if all continues to be ok. I'm missing my bride. She would adore our granddaughter so very much. But she's got Lily and Lila with her. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KATPILOT Posted May 20, 2016 Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 Butch I was wondering how you were doing with the missing part. You have had a lot of distractions and though they are often good distractions, you stop for a moment and it comes back. Yes she would enjoy Gracie. My bride would be doing the same. Life just isn't fair sometimes. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Margm Posted May 21, 2016 Report Share Posted May 21, 2016 Butch, I love Gracie already. Her favorite color is purple, I think. (Maybe her mom's favorite). Certainly my favorite ever. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R.Everit55 Posted May 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2016 Gracie got a visit from her great Grammy today. In this pic you really see how tiny she is. Small but mighty. She made Gracie the booties she's wearing. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R.Everit55 Posted May 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2016 She's was not settling and was failing like a monkey so daddy swaddled her in her monkey swaddling blanket. She loves being swaddled. She went right to sleep. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
