Brooke's Transplant Update


Hi everyone, it’s Amy again. Ok so here is my 4th attempt since last night to post an update! Everything went well with the transplant yesterday. Brooke cried while Dr. Teachey was “pushing” the stem cells through her “tubies” but stopped crying as soon as the staff pulled out a gift for her! Brooke started feeling a little better yesterday afternoon and had fun playing with her new transplant day gifts (toys, stickers & stamps) with Grammy and enjoyed spending the day with Daddy. This morning she is resting quietly and watching Playhouse Disney. She is about to get a platelet transfusion because her counts were only 14,000 (a healthy child should have a count around 150,000 - 450,000). Dr. Horwitz was just in and is pleased with how she is doing. Thank you all so much for your prayers…please keep them coming she still has a long way to go.

Bless her little heart. And Bless those hearts that love and care for her. Everything happens for a reason, but sometimes you've got to wonder what that reason is.
Hang in there, Brooke!
