A Brooke Mulford Update


Sorry for the delay but YES we are home. We were able to go home Tues late afternoon and we both climbed into bed not long after walking through the door. Brooke did fantastic this round - just a few low grade temperatures and some seriously exhausting mood swings but nothing like the last 3 rounds. Cancer soooo Fears my little girl! Just one more round left (March 10th) and hopefully soon Brooke will be able to do normal 5 year old stuff outside of the house!
Brooke had a wonderful Valentine's Day at CHOP and even had a surprise visit from Daddy (yes, you heard that right...Rob actually left the restaurant on Valentine's Day!). She got lots of valentines from the other kids on the floor and from the staff. Have I mentioned how great the staff is???

Monday, Brooke saw an audiologist again to make sure that her hearing has not changed and to get the process moving for getting her hearing aids. All week she kept telling me that she couldn't turn down the volume on the TV because she has hearing loss and needs hearing aids...seriously going to milk this one! She has selected pink hearing aids that fit behind the ears and pink and purple swirl color for the part that goes in the ear - so much for trying to get them to blend in! Aunt Cheryl and cousin Cassidy came with us for her testing and when we got back to the room Aunt Alisyn & Grammy were there waiting! Later that night Uncle Johnny came by to stay with with Brooke so that I could go out to dinner (at POD) with two of my cancer mom buddies. Thanks for a great night out Elise & Julie and John for allowing me the opportunity!

Well, hopefully you won't be hearing from me much in the next couple weeks. Thanks again for all the prayers!

God Bless,
Amy
