I took this photo of my GG today on her 7 month birthday. I was so happy to catch a smile. We have felt Gracie's personality has been gone since she has been home from her cath. She whimpered for about 4 days straight. Yesterday she cracked out a couple smiles, and today a few more. We are slowly getting her back. Cath's are pretty brutal. It is disappointing to think she will have another one before her surgery. I haven't heard the final word from cardiology but I am almost positive that her surgery has been officially canceled. They called today and scheduled a follow up visit for November 3rd, so we will most likely not be headed for surgery two days later like originally planned. I hope to talk to cardiology tomorrow and get a better outlook as to what the plan is for her. For now, we will just enjoy her being in our home a little bit longer and HOPEFULLY we can have the holidays to ourselves at home and have her surgery after Christmas sometime.Happy Birthday to my sweet baby girl!

I can't believe she is 7 months old. She is such a doll! I love her big smile. Small world, we just moved in to your sister Stephanie's ward. I saw her and knew she was your sister! I actually thought for a moment that it was you. LOL
Happy Birthday Gracie! How hard to be in limbo all the time with the surgery dates. I guess you are probably just taking it one day at a time. I bet that is so hard for you Michele - my organized friend who has always had a plan for everything. Hang in there!

She really is an angel. I admire you so much. I don't know how you do it. You are truly an inspiration to me as a mother.
Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear GG, happy birthday to you... Yea, seven months! Super cute picture. I hope she has many more smiley days before her next surgery. I am glad we may get the holidays "off" and deal with the Glen next year. This year stunk a little, lets hope 09 is better!!!
Woo hoo!!! Seven beautiful months with such a sweet girl! We love you!
Hi little Gracie, I'm sorry you've had such a tough time, and hope you'll be right back on top with each day. 7 months, that's just amazing. I love you.

Happy Birthday, Gracie! love you, Susan
I just got caught up on Gracie's latest adventures(let's just call them "adventures" instead of challenges). I know that Gracie is a miracle but Michele...SO ARE YOU!!! I read your family blog first and thought to myself, "Man she sure is busy, Gracie must be doing GREAT!" Then I get here on to Gracie's blog and find that it's been a whirlwind of ups and downs. (Congrats on the rice cereal feeding) I will keep Gracie in our family prayers and my own personal prayers. I will still fast for her on November 2nd although her surgery won't be on the 5th now. Stay Strong!
She is absolutely adorable! It's good to see a smile on her face! Poor little thing having to go through so much in her short 7 months of life. What a blessing to have her though. She is an absolute gift!
Michelle,
There is a beautiful twinkle in Gracie's eyes. What a gorgeous little girl. I too hope that you can enjoy her and your family through the holidays together.
HAPPY 7mo BIRTHDAY!! Hopefully you'll have until the first of the year until you go back for the Glenn! :)
