A Brooke Mulford Update 12-7-11

It is scan time again! The past 3 months have flown by and here we are again at CHOP waiting to have her CT scan done. Brooke just started drinking the contrast. Once she is done with the first 16 oz. bottle then she will have to wait 2 hours and drink another one. During that time she will have an IV placed in her hand for the scan and they will also draw her labs from it. The CT scan is scheduled for 12:30 but I don’t think we will start on time because it takes her so long to drink the contrast. She is scheduled to have her MIBG injection at 1:30. After we get out of CHOP today we will head to Grammy’s to celebrate cousin Chelsea’s 19th (I think) birthday.

Tomorrow it’s back to CHOP again for her MIBG scan at 10:00am, Echocardiogram at 11:30 and Oncology clinic at 3:00pm. We will get the results of the CT and MIBG scans at clinic so I will try to post again before we leave the hospital.

Please pray that her scans are all clear and that the issues they saw on her last Echo are no longer present.

Oh, and don’t forget to watch Extreme Makeover Home Edition this Friday at 8:00-10pm on ABC to see the Johnson/Goslee family of Mardela Springs, MD get an amazing new home. You might catch a glimpse of me under the tent helping out and Brooke during the “Move that bus”. It was such a cool experience and we met so many wonderful people. Here's a link to a short video I made from the build http://youtu.be/gU014hRa9hc

Also, Cooking with Brooke for a Cure cookbooks are now available at Market Street Inn and the offices at Salisbury Christian School as well as Headquarters Hair Salon on Haddon Ave in Westmont, NJ. Cookbooks are $12 and all proceeds go to The Brooke Mulford Foundation for NB research at CHOP.

Thank you for your prayers!
