Praise God!!

We got word this morning that we have 2 bone marrow matches in the family! The hospital staff are so excited as are we! We have not told the girls who the lucky ones are so we'll keep that a mystery for now. This is scary for the girls as it is for Steve and I, but we know it's what Brookie needs. There will be big rewards when it's all said and done. We meet with the bone marrow transplant team next week. Steve talked to the social worker today to get a better idea of how all this works. We are aware this procedure has it's risk as do our girls. We ask when people talk to us about it and our girls are around tread lightly with what you say. They are ALL EARS these days. The prognosis is good, but please don't say things like "is Brooke going to make it" or hint towards a dim future for her. As long as we all have a great outlook and know this is in God's hands our girls do the same. They strive for the day they can hold their little Brooke again. We told the girls last night she will probably not come home til April and that was hard for them to swallow but they understand.
We miss you all like crazy and can't wait til we can see everyone and attend church and our normal funtions again. We are very cautious at this time of illness so we stay clear of many crowds (we aren't trying to be anti social :) Thanks again for the continued prayers! You are all so cherished!
