Where's Gracie?

Well, actually, right now she is asleep dreading the biopsy she has to have done tomorrow. She has mild Hirschsprung's Disease (part of her large intestines do not have nerve cells thus causing some wicked constipation). They will be doing a biopsy of some of the intestines to see how much of it is effected. Then, she might have to have surgery to remove the diseased areas. I am praying that the area effected is so small that we can just treat the effects with medicine for the rest of her life. Anyway, "Where's Gracie?" is something that Grant loves to ask. Especially when he has attempted to bury her or build a fort around her.
She is such a good sport. We are lucky she is so good natured. Grant LOVES to build things and he is very precise about where things go. Don't mess with his vision, man. If you do...be prepared for a melt down!
I couldn't get a picture of Grace smiling but she was happy. Well, that is until she had been stuck in there for a long time.
I had to talk Grant in to leaving an area for Gracie to see out. If he had it his way, she would be completely covered.
'Are you serious mom? Can't you just make him stop?!?!'
