Sorry I have been a little lacking the last couple weeks. Things have been CRAZY (literally) between work, home, doctors, animals, etc. We have not slowed down one bit. So, beware... picture and information overload in this blog. Grace is doing much better! For those that did not know or were unaware, after her birthday we had a follow-up (physical) scheduled with her pediatrician to get her shots and do the normal doctor visit stuff. Well that visit turned into a much worse than well visit. We actually ended up back at the children's hospital with more respiratory issues. They wanted to monitor Grace's oxygen and heart-rate just to make sure things didn't get worst and to see if they could get her levels back up and heart-rate back down. A few hours, x-rays, and breathing treatments later, we learned that she yet again has bronchiolitis. They told us that with her getting this respiratory illness at such a young age the first time, she is more prone to get it with each common cold she may get. As she gets older she will outgrow this (hopefully) because her airways will get larger, her immune system will get stronger, etc. This is just something we will have to manage when and if it comes up.
So, she is currently back on breathing treatments, but on the bright side after the hospital visit we were able to do her well visit finally (3-weeks late) and get her shots. She came in at a whopping 18lbs 02oz, 28.5" long. Yep, she's pretty small, but doctor said she looks good and they just want her to be a lean healthy. So, she is on a multivitamin supplement with iron to help bring her iron up some, is on breathing treatments to help with her dry coughs and breathing, but all in all healthy! :)
We had a family pool weekend last weekend and were finally able to get her into the pool because it was warm enough and she was well enough. Look at our little rockstar in the cute new bathing suit that her friend Charlee and her mom, my sweet friend Tara, got for her. Can you tell that she was ready for some fun in the sun!

Also, as promised in a previous post (
52 Weeks Old), here are some more pictures from her birthday party that Torie took for us. I was finally able to find the time to upload them to the computer. She is such a blessed gal to have the wonderful family and support system that she has. I could not be more thankful and blessed for everyone that was a part of her special day and are a part of our lives every day!
