That is honestly how I feel today! It is magnificent!!! Steve and Miss Brooke went to clinic, the girls and I did our work/school routine. Brooke and her daddy LOVE spending time together. This was the 1st time Brooke has been to clinic since she started crawling, so she had to show off a little. Her weight was 19# and her height was 29". Those are some pretty big jumps for our little lady that refuses to grow. They also decreased her steroids to 2.5 mg a day! That's peanuts compared to what she has been on. I feel like someone found the switch and said, "ok Brooke it's go time!" Obviously the proof is in the numbers and some of those were drawn today. Her broviac hasn't been drawing blood very well, so they thought they'd have to draw blood from her vein. Leah prayed last night that Brooke would get a good nights sleep and the blood draw would work. The power of prayer! There was some sweat but the broviac slowly worked. So in 2 weeks they will draw more T cell testing and we wait for results. The last 2 times we have waited for results I have been anxious. I run every scenario through my head and think about it alot. For some reason, it does not bother me this time. I don't care when the results come back. (That's the Lord, not my controlling nature :) And I'm ok if they haven't gone up. What's the worse thing that can happen??? We can't leave our house???? That's funny. I'm finally embracing the fact that house arrest isn't so bad.
Today when leaving clinic Brooke's feeding tube got caught and popped out! It happens every now and again but it's kinda yucky. My wonderful husband does not wish to be the medical personnel but he embraced the situation the took care of it. YEAH STEVE! He is definitely our knight in shining armor.
On to the week......1 year ago this week God gave our family another chance. Another chance to be a family of 7. This wasn't the 1st chance He's given us. Thursday will be 1 year since we watched Miss Megan literally give a piece of herself to fill her sisters void. More awesome than that, I have girls waiting in line to donate. They are ALL hero's and played such an awesome part in the past year. We are so blessed God gave us another year. We have all grown and we pray that we continue to see His plan for our life. The girls want to celebrate on Thursday, so we have to decide what we are going to do, but it's going to be a celebration of 5 wonderful girls lives and 5 never give up attitudes, that came through this past year with smiles on their beautiful little faces. Steve and I love our little ladies and are so proud of each of them.
