This will be just a quick note because I am busy getting everything for our Gracie Girl to come home TOMORROW!!! She will get her wound vac changed in the morning and her PICC line taken out and then it is hasta la vista baby! She is doing well. She has had a few more episodes of throwing up but that is something we are going to have to learn to live with. I will post tomorrow on our big trip HOME!!
p.s. I'm sure my blogging will now become a lot more infrequent. I will post when I can.
p.s.s. About the wound looking fine now even though the skin graft did not work........we are wondering the same thing. If the wound looks good enough to heal on its own with the skin graft that did not take, then why did we have to have the skin graft in the first place? This is something that I will ask the plastic surgeon tomorrow.

How exciting! Yes, of course we will miss all the updates but that will just make them that more fun. Have fun with your sweet baby and happy family!
Your big day is finally here!! We couldn't be happier for you! Her room is nice and sterile waiting for her arrival! Congratulations! XOXOX
Congratulations! So happy for you all. Now the fun really begins with Gracie and your darling family. Enjoy...you deserve it!!!
Wishing you the best,

We are SO happy for you! Goodluck, however, you don't need it...you will do awesome! :) Sweet Gracie, I love this little miracle baby! We'll keep praying, only now it will be that you will be able to get feeding tubes in and also get to sleep. :)
What huge, fantastic news. Gracie is going home!!! We're still praying for you. Even though it may be a little scary to go it alone without a nurse or a doctor close by, I know that you will all be up to the task. Before you know it, you'll be blogging about Gracie taking her first steps!
Hooray! We'll still be checking in to make sure everything is ok! I'm sure we'll need lots of reassurance and pictures of your Sweet Gracie with her brothers and sisters! and Mommy & Daddy, of course!
We are so happy for you all!!! Gracie will be so loved at home and you'll see right away how happy she will be there, too! We are praying for a smooth transition. GO GRACIE!!!!
Heart hugs~ Rebecca
PS- THANK YOU for the bracelet! It is so dear to me...everytime I wear it or even look at it I am reminded of my precious Annabelle. I will cherish it forever. You are so thoughtful, Michele, thank you so much!
Gledhill Family,
Way to go Gracie! Welcome Home. You have no idea who I am. I found your blog in a round about way that is too confusing to write about! I have followed your blog faithfully and have cheered and cried for Gracie with each post. What a journey! I have a daughter named Gracie and we also call her "geeg" as her last initial is "g" as well. There is a song that I wish I could figure out how to send to you that I think you would love for your blog. It is called "Gracie" by Ben Folds. Anyway, just wanted to let you know you are in our thoughts and prayers as you bring your sweet baby home. I am thrilled for you! Go Gracie Go!
We too will miss the updates, but will not miss having Gracie in the hospital! Way to go Gracie! We are so excited to have Gracie be at home and are praying for you guys!
Heart hugs and continued prayers!
Emily and Mike
Michelle, I noticed there are a lot of "Gracie" songs on iTunes, inc. the above mentioned one. I listened to some snipits of some of them and there are some good ones. If you type "Gracie" in the search on the iTunes store you'll see them. Maybe you've already checked it out. Love ya, Tiff's aunt Teri
What exciting news!! this is a great way to start the summer. Gracie must have ordered the weather so she wouldn't have to be too hot on her first day out. Good Luck with each new moment at home. I am sure you will be inspired with the help you will need to care for her.
Lot's of Love!!
Good luck with your trip home! What an amazing (hard) journey you have had so far. I am thrilled that you are able to take Gracie home and finally just be with her in your own enviroment. Quick side note, I just found out one of my neighbors used to be Stephanie's roomate in college. Sarah Switzer-now Neddo. She is my running buddy and asked where I graduated from HS. When I told her Alta she asked if I knew Mark Snow-umm yeah. Such a small world. She was glad to hear that Gracie is doing so well. Tell Stephanie "HI" from her.
It's 8:52am Wed. morning and of course, I'm thinking, I wonder what Michele is doing RIGHT NOW! I hope all goes well today and there are no delays. Good luck with the move. I'm sure this is one of the most monumental days of your life(as well as hers). I can't begin to imagine the feelings that you are feeling today. I am so happy for you and your family. Welcome home Gracie Girl!!!
YAY!!!!!!!!! I am so excited for your family. All of this waiting and so many set backs and the day is finally here! I for sure will miss daily updates, but am so glad you'll be too busy with your family to do much blogging :-) We'll continue to pray for your family! Thank you so much for sharing your baby girl and your miraculous journey! Have a fun summer with your WHOLE family at home!
It's party time at the Gledhills today!!!Bringing a new baby home is such a sweet experience, but I don't think that Gracie counts as just another baby. Your experience today will be a highlight of your life forever and your little miracle sweetheart is just going to thrive! Congratulations on this big day. I can't wait to see pictures of her inside your house! I'll talk to you soon!
Lots of love,
Leslie
I am so happy for you and your family. I have been following you little Gracie through her journey and I don't even know you but I feel as though I do. I am Tiffany Snow's cousin. Please continue to post aften as you can to keep us all updated on how Gracie is doing. Our prayers have been with you and your family and I am so glad that all is going well. Take care. Amy
What INCREDIBLE news!!! We are also so excited for you. You will have many helpers at home Michele. It will be great. Have a marvelous day. You are in our thoughts today. Love, Skousens
WOHOOO!! Most excellent. Wonderful, exiting, challenging days ahead, all the more sweet since they will be at HOME! Very excited for entire Gledhill clan. This will a homecoming to go down in the record books. Hugs all around! Harry
Yay!! I am so excited for you all! Look how far you've come already in this journey. I'll miss your daily posts - but I'll still be checking. And we can't wait to come and see Gracie in her new bedroom!
Great news! I am so excited for your family! I can't imagine all that you guys have had to go through! She is definitely a little miracle! Congrats!
-Michelle (Tiff's friend)
I can't believe you guys are heading home! What a great day!!! I'm sure it will be a challenge to juggle it all Michele, but I know you will be blessed with the strength to do it! I'm sure Gracie will thrive in her own home. I'll e-mail you to find out how I can help now that you are home. I can be trained to do whatever you need!
Enjoy this day! What a miracle!!!
Love, Nat
What great news!!! Enjoy your time home...congratulations! Best wishes...

Oh My Gosh! The BEST news ever!!!!
Way to go Gracie Girl!
MIRACLES DO HAPPEN!!!
We LOVE you and will be here for you when you need us. We will keep checking up on you and your CUTE family
Love,
The Bunkers
This must be a little bitter sweet in a way - so excited to be going home and have made so much progress, but bitter because the nurses will no longer be right there to help and you have to do those feeding tubes on your own (yikes..i just don't think I could do that!) I'm sure they have taught you well though!! Good luck on your big day! We will be thinking of ya'll.
I know there are some exhausting days ahead but congrats, this news is so wonderful. What a miracle this child has been. Thank you again for sharing her journey with so many of us! Gracie is destined for great things!
Congratulations on getting your sweetie home! I'm sure you are so tired! Just thinking of you guys. I hope you are handling everything o.k & getting a little rest.
Congratulations! What an AMAZING journey that we've been watching you go through. Thank you for sharing with us. I am a friend of Tiffany Snow's an have checked your blog daily for the last 3 months. Good luck - you will do an amazing job - it will be hard, but I know you can do it! Hang in there you guys! And keep us posted if you ever get a minute!
Like many others, you don't know me but I've been following your blog also. I am thrilled that you get to take that sweet baby home finally!
Good luck and please know that she is in our prayers- along with hundreds of others people that are praying for your daughter. Please keep us posted!!
