We had a much happier day today. The best news of the day is that the antibiotic dose she got yesterday was the last one! Having this infection taken care of and behind us will make life much MUCH easier for all of us! They will take blood cultures again on Monday to make sure they are still negative...and if they are, then we'll consider it a done deal and pray NOT to get another infection!
Clarie was one active little girl today on dialysis! She was all over the place: on the floor, in the crib, in the chair, playing ring around the rosies, and then doing it all over again! She and Benson also had a fun time painting, playing play dough, and having a puppet show. I was so tired by the end of it all! Gratefully she took a nice long afternoon nap. I even got to close my eyes for a few minutes too so we're in good shape here!
When the doctor came in today she said, "She looks like a million bucks!"

Great to hear the good news. Thanks for all the updates, makes me feel like we are right there. give your love to Benson and Clair, and to each other too. We are praying for your family every day.
Love the Graves
Totally thought of you today as we sat in the hospital for 7 hours. Elizabeth broke her arm. I kept thinking, "Natalie does this EVERY DAY!!!" I don't know how you do it! And Claire is so brave and strong. Elizabeth cried over every little thing. I kept thinking, you have no idea how lucky you are that this is all you have to deal with! Admiring you even more than ever!
That is one of the sweetest stories I have heard all day (from Day 65)! You have such sweet children. Benson is such a special brother. And you are an optimist. I love that about you, Natalie! You're such an example to all who come into contact with you. Hope things continue to go well with Claire. YEA for great days! It may wear you out, but her activity is so much better than several weeks ago.
