Moved again :)




We are again in a new room, which is ok. It's fun to get to walk around and it makes us clean up our mess once in a while. It's been a few days since I updated. Brooke had some troubles with dehydration this weekend. This was all due to the diarrhea (c diff) she got. Her feedings are back down and they plan to try and increase them slowly today. Her diarrhea has slowed down, which is very good. Now we take it slow and wait. Over the next few days they will try and increase her tube feedings and eventually try her antibiotics in her tube and not IV. Her oxygen keeps dipping down and she occasionally needs to be on oxygen.





Yesterday was my birthday! Those that know me, know that I LOVE BIRTHDAYS! Steve thinks I'm crazy. I love a reason to celebrate and eat cake all day. I love the fact that any parent, not just my parents, decided to put their own lives aside to raise and love someone else. It's just fun all the way around! So I had the best day! A Strawberry Shortcake cake (thanks Kim) for breakfast with the 4 cutest girls in the world! A huge sign and cake for lunch from Brooke's nurses, ice cream dessert from my parents, brownies and cupcakes from Tricia and Missi. Sad to say I ate it all too :) Brookie even smiled and laughed yesterday! WHAT A DAY!!! Thank you everyone for the calls, visits, cards and fun!




Brookie is getting stronger! That's the best gift ever!
