Day 3

All is well thus far! Megan went back to school today. She did GREAT!! Yesterday afternoon she said it didn't hurt it just "felt funny." Later in the day Ashley got mad at her and slapped her back, that hurt!! So Ashley knows NOT to do that (not sure she'll listen). Brooke is also doing well. She had a rough night because she got IVIG and her little body doesn't like that. Which we've known, it gives her headaches and she SCREAMS! So next week when they give it I have requested it be given during the day, I prefer screaming at 2pm not 2am.

Because of the transplant they started doing physical therapy with Brooke. Which as a mother has been comical. They don't want her to fall behind and they have wonderful intentions. Brooke has her own agenda. She makes noises and plays with her toys etc until they come in. They she stares at them and gives them dirty looks. When they leave she smiles and goes about her business. I think we have created a spoiled little girl!

Next week they will do a blood test that will tell us if engraftment has started. Tests are constantly coming back , that had been sent out 1-2 months ago. More pieces to Brooke's puzzle are coming together. It seems that currently her liver enzymes are still high and it may not just be medication related. She's had medication changes and those will be watched closely. We pray her liver will heal and be restored. Please pray for continued patience! Steve has a cold now so he can't see Brooke. That is hard!! The girls pray every night that Brooke can come home and we can be "a family." They miss her like crazy!! Thanks for all your help and prayers.
