Vacation interrupted

These pictures were taken last week while we were on a walk on vacation. Gracie stopped almost in the middle of the road because there was a fan on a porch. A ceiling fan. On a porch. While there was a truck waiting for us to cross.

It's times like this I wish I knew what was going on in her brain. 

We had to interrupt our vacation so we could take Grace for an EEG today. It was good in a way because Joy got so spend a last few days with her friend Shelby, who sadly is moving away. this is Shelby and I'm sad too that she is moving. She's a good kid, albeit a little crazy! We will miss her.

But it wasn't a good thing for Gracie. We had to keep her up till 11:30 last night and get her up at 5 today to take her to the hospital to try to get her to go to sleep while they put nodes or something on her head. Get Gracie to sleep or be calm in a hospital??

HahahahahahahahHahahahaHAHAHA- it's real!!

I knew it wouldn't work. Chris knew it wouldn't work but they won't give an order for a sedated test unless it's found that they can't get the info needed otherwise. ( should I laugh again?)

SHE's  AUTISTIC!!!!!!! Of course she is not going to sit still. She's also extremely afraid of hospital/ doctor settings. So you figure it out. 

So we spent two hours there - she actually did doze but not enough for them to do anything. So we went home and had to go about setting up another EEG THIS TIME WITH SEDATION!

And now we probably have to change her neuro visit. 

Sometimes I feel like I'm stuck running in place-

There's a Casting Crowns song that begins:

"She is running, a hundred miles an hour...in the wrong direction"

That's me.   

So now vacation is resumed. But not for me tonight.
