Baby Grace

Gracie has had a hard few weeks of life. She had a condition where the muscle grew too big around the intestines, making her unable to digest her food and to keep it down. She has been losing weight, and Kevin and Kathryn have been taking her to the doctor with no help until yesterday. They finally found the problem. Tonight Gracie had surgery and is already nursing and doing better. The poor baby almost starved to death. Thank goodness Kevin & Kathryn were persistent in trying to find the problem.
These are from earlier today before her surgery. She has the splint on her arm to keep the IV in place. This is from after her surgery. She just has a small incision on her belly. She is much happier now that she can eat, also after having been on the IV for more than 24 hours, she has already gotten stronger. We're glad you're a strong little girl, Grace.
