A Good Monday!

Turns out there is such a thing as a good Monday. I was able to talk to Grace again yesterday. She sounded so much better yesterday then she did on Sunday. When I talked to Grace on Sunday she was sad because she couldn't find her pictures. Thankfully Mom to the rescue. I am the keeper of all lost things. Even from a distance. I told her where I thought I had seen her place the pictures. She was so happy to tell me that I was right about where they were and having them made her feel better. I only let her pick out 6 pictures to keep with her. She choose a family picture, a picture of her with her dog, a picture of Dad and I at a basketball game, and a couple of her with Brother and Sister. It was sweet to see her think about each picture. It is hard to decide where to draw the line on different things. You want her to feel comfortable, but at the same time this is not suppose to be a fun time either. Grace was happy to tell me that she was able to start school yesterday. Having something to do is good for her. I also was able to talk to her therapist and find out she actually had a rough weekend following directions and being rude to the staff. This is good because it gives reason for the insurance to keep paying for her to be kept there. If she were being a perfect angel all the time then the insurance would say there is no reason to keep her there, therefore no reason to pay. I am happy I was able to hear her not cry and actually sound somewhat normal. I am looking forward to seeing Grace at therapy tomorrow. She doesn't know that she gets to see Dad and I. It will be so fun to surprise her.
