Yesterday, we took Gracie to see Dr. Sharpe, her neurologist. We will follow-up with him until time to go back in September to see Dr. Park in St. Louis. Dr. Sharpe wanted to see her legs after the surgery and we had a few questions for him. However, the main reason for our appointment was to visit someone Gracie loves, Nurse Laura. Gracie gets me to play Nurse Laura often when she and I pretend at home. Dr. Sharpe thought her legs looked good. He wants us to exercise her ankles more at home to keep them loose. He wants us to come back in six weeks to see how her legs are progressing. We talked to him about the anxiety Gracie is experiencing around nap time and bed time. He said he wasn't surprised since she has had someone at her bedside for almost a month now. Her told us to buy an over-the-counter medicine called 5-THP. It's all natural and mostly contains
tryptophan which is what is found in turkey that makes you sleepy. We will try it tonight.

On a positive note, our good friends, The Slocums, returned from Florida. They came over to see us this weekend. I caught a picture of Gracie and Cal swinging.
