It's taken me a little longer to post updates. We've been having too much fun :)
Brooke's hemoglobin was 9.5 yesterday. That was ok. The doctor said if he gives her a transfusion the antibodies will just destroy them so he have her IVIG transfusion and chemo and is hoping that will boost her hemoglobin up without a blood transfusion. If her hemoglobin stays up next week we can decrease her steroids again. That would be nice. She was sad tonight, didn't want to smile and had a sad cry. The IVIG causes headaches, tired and achiness. Hopefully tomorrow she will feel better. If all goes as planned she won't need a transfusion for another 3 weeks or so. We just have to wait and see. By then Steve will be done with harvest. The pictures are of nurse Candy and Carrie talking with Brookie. And then Macy "patiently" waiting in the chair for her sister.
All the craziness didn't stop us from Trick or Treating. Wednesday night at church, Thursday night at Appledorn assisted living and Friday night at Grandpa's and Grandma's. Can we say sugar overload!! But all the girls had fun.
