December scans and Christmas

Gracie's hair is long enough for french braids. I'm not the best at it, but it is cute enough :) she loves it.

Gracie had a wonderful Christmas and was happy and healthy. She got a new baby and vanity, a play ironing table and lots of other fun stuff! We felt so blessed to be together as a family and everyone was healthy and happy.

We went down to Fort worth for her scan and Dr appointment. I took all the kids, since we had to stay overnight. We went to radiology at 8 am and she started the 2 hours of drinking the gatorade contrast. The other kids were all great waiting. They had to do an IV for the CT and they left it in for later that day for labs with the endocrine office. They were testing her cortisol levels. They came back as low but not too much. The doc said she didn't need daily hydrocortisone, but would need stress doses when she was sick. The CT scan was clear! It is always a huge relief, although we hadn't anticipated anything different since she is doing so well. :) We had the clinic appointment in the afternoon and made it back home around 10 pm.
