Rough week

Sorry it has been so long since my last post. Gracie has had a rough week. I hate seeing her little spirit down and in pain. It just breaks my heart.

She has had very bad stomach pains this week. She will sometimes drop on the floor and grab her tummy and tell me her stomach hurts. Nothing could break a mommy's heart more especially when you cant do anything but hug her through it. She also cant sleep because of these pains. She wakes up many times during the night and her naps are always interupted. She has also stopped eating again the last two days. I hate to see her loose so much weight already. I dont know the number yet...but I can see it very clearly.

Her hair also started falling out on Saturday. She would lay with us on the couch and after we would get up we would notice all of her beautiful blonde hair all over us. She has noticed the hair falling out and it hasn't seemed to bother her. So of course, we just continue on and not make a big fuss over it until Mark and I are alone. It's just that outward sign that Gracie is actually going through all of this.

Tomorrow is round 3 of Chemo for Gracie. I really hope this week is easier for her.

On a positive note Paul and I had a "special day" out on Saturday he wanted to go see Shrek and go get ice cream. Of course mommy said yes because it was his day. He has been so wonderful through all of this. He is such a wonderful big brother!
