She's back Jack!!!

 DOG LOGS!!!

In the words of Si Robertson, "I'm back Jack!"  We started out the week a little rough.  As much fun as it is to stay home with Brooke 24/7, life is going on.  She is not contagious, she is just really skinny and weak.  She prefers to lay on the couch.  I had to go to work Monday.  She was going to her friends (and my friends :)  house.  Macy was dressed and waiting by the door, Brooke was, you guessed it, laying on the couch.  I said, "you can lay on the couch at Sarah's, LETS GO!"  I did her tube feeding, dressed her and we were off.  She cried and pitched a COMPLETE FIT!  She clung to me and screamed, Sarah removed her from me and I left.  It's obvious she doesn't feel well, but this is not acceptable.  I texted Sarah and apologized for leaving her my screaming kid, and she said, she's not screaming anymore. The screaming didn't last long.  She wasn't her normal, energetic self, but she did play with the girls and she even ate over there.   She got home and was tired :)
Yesterday she couldn't get enough food, and the smiles kept coming!!!!   I think we are over the hump.  It's so hard, when to cuddle and when to have tough love. 
She did have labs done and her platelets are down again as well as her potassium.  The potassium we just give a supplement.  The platelets we have to check again tomorrow.  If they are still low we will go to clinic for IVIG.  We will also be checking her thyroid tomorrow.  She is so COLD!  Always complaining of being cold, to the point we give her those, "hot hands" Leah uses for skiing to warm up. We'll try to figure out what that's about.  It's probably because she is so skinny.
We'll see what tomorrow brings!  We can handle it as long as there is a smile on that little girls face.
SOOOOOOO thankful for great friends!
