Happy Labor day!

I hope everyone had a great, relaxing day. As I'm writing this I am realizing it is a Holiday and Brooke is NOT in the hospital. GO BROOKE! So far she has only been home for Memorial day and Father's day. What an accomplishment :) I also FINALLY put the suit case away. I've had a suit case in out bedroom since last year. It has gotten ALOT of use but it seemed every time I put it away, we ended up back at the hospital. Now, I'm not superstitious, but that was a little crazy. It's all packed away, and we are sitting at home, all is good :)
The week went good. No new news, but no bad news. We got to go spend time with friends Saturday night and grill out. It's so great to have people you can call last minute and they accept that we have no life and need to get away. On Sunday we got to go to my parents to have a picnic with their small group. The girls got to swim, paddle boat and drive the golf cart. It's also been fun to have people see Brooke that haven't seen her in awhile. They can tell she is more alert and active. That makes parents smile :) Brooke is definitely becoming her own person. She has a little attitude that has a LOUD scream. Unfortunately because she had been so sick she is use to someone at her beck and call. Why would that change now? Macy has also caught on to that game and has this shriek that pierces your ears! What have we created! We don't help matters, but we realize the are only young once, so we hold them, carry them, play with them and just have fun.
This week is another week of therapy (yippee), clinic appts and seeing a neuro-developmental MD. At least we won't be bored.

So glad you had a nice holiday with the family and no hospital visits:) I haven't seen Brooke in awhile, but she definitely looks alert and like she wants to bug her sisters... ha ha! If you need any help with the girls or Macy while they are school, please give me a call!!:) Griffin would love a playmate!
