Brooke had some better numbers on Monday. A few of her T cells are coming up, slowly. After all the results come in the MD states they will conference with other MD 's at Mayo and in Germany and see what the next step is. Brooke also went to the stomach MD and had an upper GI. The test showed a hernia which they said shouldn't cause any problems. The MD said there is nothing to do about her gagging and vomiting. He said, "I can't fix her." That is not a nice thing to tell a mom. But he was very kind, it's not his fault. Brooke has so many things going and so many reasons to not eat. We have to be happy that she is doing so well and is so happy through all of this.
I unfortunately have not been feeling well this week. I went to Prime care and had a strep screen and told them it was strep. Well, the test was negative, until today when the culture came back strep. Oh hah!!! At least I have been wearing a mask, washing and bleaching everything. We pray Brooke and the other girls don't get it. Mom's don't have time to get sick :) God gave us what we needed to get through it and next week is another week. The girls start school on Monday, so that is a new schedule. I will miss them so much as will the twins. But they are excited to see their friends and start a new year.
Macy is officially into everything! She now climbs, so she really gets into things. It's funny to watch. I wish I was as laid back with Leah and Megan as I am with the twins. I remember with them, have this worried feeling alot. I don't have that anymore. I realize these children are not mine, but a gift that we must enjoy as long as we can. Not being able to kiss them because of a sore throat is torture! I can't wait to get the antibiotics in me and annoy my children and love them!
Next week Brooke goes to clinic again on Monday. Thank you for the continued prays.
