Ellie had a weight check yesterday and she is now up to 45lbs. This is the MOST weight gain she has had in a LONG time (longer than I can remember) in a short period of time and not induced by being on prednisone.

We are very thankful not only for this but also for her increasing energy levels. On Saturday she had 2 hours of dance, came home got a birthday present ready for a friend, attended the Scout Spaghetti Dinner activity, then right after that we went to a birthday party at Chuck E Cheese for one her friends here.

Granted she was EXHAUSTED! We did not even make it out of the parking lot to the light before she was out. She was so soundly asleep that when she was taken out of the truck, put in bed and gotten ready for bed she did not wake up at all.

Sunday morning she woke up long enough for her meds, grab some breakfast, and let us know that she was not feeling well at all. (We expected this) then went back to sleep. She did not wake up until nearly 1pm.

Today she had enough energy and was so excited to go school. This is not only a new thing for her but exciting to see her be able to do. We will see how tired she is when she gets home from school tonight.
