The Brookie Mobile

The girls derby race was tonight at East Saugatuck. Leah named her car the Brookie mobile and had decals of Devos Childrens hospital and pictures of Brooke on it. She won 1st in her class, 1st over all and best of show, (best of show was with a little help from our friend Emily). Leah is on cloud nine. 3 trophies to show her sister some day. What a great big sister to bring Brooke with her on this experience of hers.

The winning car and trophies!

Brooke had a good day. Her liver enzymes are still high so they decided to put down another feeding tube and try feeding her again. Then they can get her off the TPN which they feel might be irritating her liver. So far tonight she is doing ok. She has not been a fan of any feedings in the past so we pray that will change. Hopefully one step closer to going home. We haven't heard yet if the bone marrow graft is taking. But she is so happy and smiling, that has to be a good sign. Steve's parents were up there tonight for awhile and my parents will be up tomorrow. Next week I go back to work a couple days a week. So many changes again for the Koeman's. My mom will stay with Brooke when I am at work. Where would we be without our parents? God always see's us through and now is no different. We have peace! Thank you all.
