Ali didn't sleep much last night :(  I don't think either of us is convinced that she is "over" what ever is making her miserable - hopeful - but not necessarily convinced.  The next few days will give us a better idea.  She still complains occasionally that her tummy hurts, seems like after she eats it bothers her the most.  She did play for a few brief periods today, but just doesn't have a whole lot of energy.  Grandma even got her to go outside for awhile while I mowed the lawn.  She didn't do much except lay on a blanket on the patio, but she did get some fresh air... She also made it out to Sydney's soccer game this evening - mostly slept on Megan lap - but did get out of the house.  Let's see... I did get her to eat 3-4 bites of macaroni and cheese on two separate occasions today, not much but she did willing eat something.  She just isn't herself,  and we think it is more than she just needs to recover and re acclimate to a lower blood pressure.  If she isn't showing a lot more improvement by Monday when we have an appointment with her pediatrician we are going to look into our next options for getting additional help, and a 2nd opinion.  Which probably means something out of state, at another major children's hospital. We are hopeful over the weekend we see significant improvement and we can get over this but as of yet we really aren't 100% sure she is over what ever is bothering her.
