A Brooke Mulford Update

Hello Everyone,

Just wanted to catch you up on the past week. Brooke was discharged from CHOP last Wed late afternoon. I was very nervous about leaving as she was still not even close to herself yet. She went right to bed when we got home and slept most of Christmas Eve day. Christmas day wasn't much better. She woke up at about 10am and would take little cat naps between opening presents. She would just lay down on the floor where she was opening her gifts and rest for a short time then sit up and open a few more. After opening gifts she fell asleep at the table during brunch with Grammy, Nana & Pop Pop Vince and then moved to the couch to sleep some more. It was kind of scary how similiar it was to last Christmas (when her symptoms started). It was a difficult day emotionally for me and adding to the emotions was hearing that they had found Sarah Foxwell's body...Please pray for her family...I can't and don't want to even imagine what they are going through. I hope that many attended her vigil tonight.The weekend was much better for Brooke. She is able to stay awake most of the day now and is finally getting to enjoy her Christmas presents. Other than stomach pains she is starting to feel better and we have a nice little break before having to go back to start round 3 (Jan 13th).

Have a Blessed New Year,

Amy
