The Blogging Beginning

People keep saying I need to start a blog, so here it goes. Most of you know our story. November of 2007 we had 3 wonderful girls and thought one more would be great. April of 2008 we found out we were having twins!! Wow, what a surprise! It took some getting use to but we were very excited, especially the older girls. June 30, we had 2 amazing girls. Brooke and Macy and they made the transition to our home great. I can actually say it wasn't too much extra work. We had a fun summer. August 10 we noticed Brooke didn't look right, was pale and more yellow. We ended up in Spectrum Devos Childrens Hospital in Pediatric ICU. We almost lost our little Brookie. She had a hemoglobin of 2.2 (it's suppose to be 10 - 14). She quit breathing and had tubes and wires everywhere. By God's amazing grace we still have her. She has a type of autoimmune anemia and receives blood transfusions. She is also on chemo and other medications to keep her hemoglobin up. I'm hoping to keep people updated with the blog. (now I don't have to annoy people with my emails).
