Still at the "spa"
Time seems to be flying by! I haven't updated in awhile and I apologize. I wish I had some news but I don't. Brooke still is vomiting and has diarrhea. We think it's slowing down. They are giving her medications mainly IV to give her gut a break and rest. We mainly just have to wait. Today she looked good, smiling, kicking and she slept good last night. Saturday night Steve had a farm meeting/meal at Amway, so I got to go with him and Lacey Jae (a great nurse and friend) sat with Brooke. It was nice to see there is a world besides the crazy one we have been living. It was also good to get back up to the hospital and hold her. So, we pray this week for the diarrhea to slow down/stop and the vomiting to stop so she can get off IV's. We talk about the "h" word (home) but we don't say it out loud. We'll just wait til Brooke is ready. Thanks for the prayers and help!

Dear Steve and Shelly:
We just became aware of your dear family and Brooke's struggles today. My husband's aunt, Ruth Hulst, asked me to pray for your precious Brooke. We have a miracle daughter in our family, our Sadie. She will turn 15 years next month, however we have spent months in the hospital. My heart aches for you. We are praying for Brooke. We actually live less than four miles from your house, and I drive past your house all the time when I go to Holland. I left a package in your entryway a few minutes ago. I didn't trust it outside with the kitty, but I hope there's no dog inside who might help himself. :)
Shelly, I would love to encourage you in any way. I truly know the heartache of having such a sick little baby girl. Our daughter was six weeks when she was first admitted to DeVos. Feel free to email me. I am praying.
With care and Christ's love,
