1 Peter 5: 6 Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time.  Cast all your anxiety on him because he care for you.

Let me tell ya, it's easier to cast anxiety when there is less anxiety :)  The last few weeks I've been more content to hold onto my anxiety and have one hand in the jelly bean bag (ok I always have 1 hand in the candy, anxiety or not.  Just making excuses for that :) But I realize how much easier it is to trust in Him when Brooke is smiling and playing.  I told Steve I feel like when she's happy, we can conquer anything.  When she's miserable, I just want her fixed, NOW! Natural reactions, but a good reminder to be consciously aware of next time. 

Platelets were 63.  So that's up a little.  Not normal but the key word is "up."  Her potassium was still low, but with her supplement and she's eating, I think it'll be fine.  We check labs again next week and then the week of Spring Break we have an appt in Grand Rapids. 

Today she asked where we are going?  Yeah she wants to go away!!  We ran some errands and went out to lunch with Great Grandma.  They showed her their Florida pictures.  Overall, she's doing well.  Definitely back at it.  Eating, playing dolls with her sister and fighting with them.  She asked about church Sunday.  Steve and I did the, no comment.  Even after 5 kids, we still think if we don't answer they will forget they asked.  Not the case.  She tells me daily her friends miss her :)  We'll see.  The Lord give us the answer to that, as He always does.
