Every week it takes longer to get Brooke's % back. This week it was 6%. Steve and I were VERY disappointed! Dr. Mageed said, "no problem." He said it's like the stock market, sometimes it's up, sometimes it's down. Steve and I just don't want it to crash!!! They will check her T cells in a couple weeks. Her other numbers look really good. You can see on the pictures how low she started and how high they are now. (I thought the nurses out there might like to see numbers :) Brooke is also growing hair back. That has to be a good sign, right?

The girls, my mom and I went to a play last night at Zeeland Christian. It was so cute! The girls had fun and my friend Missi was in charge of it. She did so great! I am so proud of her!! Grandpa Blueberry babysat Macy (that means they ate icecream and she got spoiled :) We are now at the Renucci house hanging out. Playing games, watching movies, eating candy! Steve and I can switch out with Brooke and the other girls. Steve's parents come up this afternoon and we'll get to take the girls out for a while. It's nice to all be so close so we can at least eat together. Because Brooke has been vomiting and not tolerating feedings the doctor doesn't want visitors yet, so the girls haven't gotten to see her.

Please pray that Brooke's numbers will continue to climb. Pray she starts to tolerate her feedings again and will start to eat. Pray we keep at sickness away. And I'm being a bit bold here, pray she is home by mid April. Thank you all!!!
