My blogger friend asked how Grace is doing since having her peritoneal dialysis catheter placed and I'm happy to say that she's doing Great! Before we left her doctor told her that she wouldn't be able to swim at all at the beach (not even in a pool) and she laid her head down in my lap and cried silent, hot tears. Then, true to form, she announced that she was going to make the best of the week....and she has.Her sisters have asked her to baby-sit the nieces when ever possible (which is near heaven for Grace) and her Dad has been helping her do some shell crafts. He also got up out of his chair at the beach and played games with her, which is UNHEARD of.
She's been a little uncomfortable with the tube hanging out of her bathing suit at times but we finally figured out a way to pin it up for her.
Her biological Mom named her Grace, which has been apparent in her life. I should have made her middle name, "Perseverance".

I see you picked up an extra kid.
And James out of the beach chair - wow! Where is the picture of that?
Realized after I wrote that that must be Margie's daughter?
Hi Kate
I have a blog gift for you, so come on over and receive it!
Or her middle name could be Grace and her first, Amazing. Her determination to see the best in every situation is absolutly inspiring.

How brave and sweet. What a great example she is to others around her - both children and adults!
what a beautiful brave girl- sounds like she could teach me a few things.
