Hoping to head home
We are having a good morning today and I am feeling happier. :) Brooklyn is loving eating all the frosting off the cinnamon roll her dad just brought her! She just had an ekg and will be hooked up soon to receive her third kind of chemo. If she has a fine reaction to it, we will be able to go home today. Yea! She slept for almost 12 hours last night so woke up ready to go! We made some laps in the hall and were bummed to find that we were ready to play before the play room was even open! As she was getting stickers put all over her for her ekg I was thinking that it is so amazing that she hasn't asked us once why all of this is happening or why she has to do something. She is just doing whatever the doctors/nurses/we tell her because she trusts us, and I know that that is the kind of trust we need to have in God. Blind, unquestioning, fully relying on and trusting in Him. He is our provider and although we don't always know why things are happening, I know that His plan for us is right and good.

Sending lots of love from the Frankel family! Praying that your faith continues to bring you strength and peace. You are amazing. Hope all goes well today and you can head home. Thank you for keeping us posted here- you are all in our thoughts and prayers.
ReplyDeleteIf there is anything you guys need, please don't hesitate to ask. I am thankful for this page so that we can be updated without bothering you with constant calls and emails...please know that we are here for you and thinking about you all....love to Brookly and stay strong Kristin...you are a remarkable mother and she is truly blessed.
ReplyDeleteKristin, I believe with all my heart and soul you all are doing God's work right now. Many would curse Him or weep asking, "Why her? Why my baby?" in times like this. Instead, you CHOOSE to lean on your faith and praise Him even in the midst of this fire. You are an inspiration my dear.
ReplyDeleteHappy to see that the morning was good and you are feeling better. Ahhhh, cinnamon roll frosting! Yum! That is sooooo goooood!!! Can definitely make the morning better for sure. I am sure Brooklyn enjoyed every bite and was a nice treat for her. Thank you Daddy!
ReplyDeleteNice to hear that Brooklyn got a lot of sleep. Good sleep can really help the body heal better and great to see that she was ready to go! Very good sign for sure.
Whatever the case, it is also so encouraging to see Brooklyn's trust, built by the love and care she is getting while there. Kudos to the nurses, doctors, staff there and of course you and your husband.
Hope you are heading home if not there already. If not, soon. One day at a time. Looking forward to the post from Home, Sweet, Home!
Kristin,
ReplyDeleteAmy H. shared w/ me your Daughter's story. You have a BEAUTIFUL family! I will pray for Brooklyn, for you, and your family to have the strength to get through this road of recovery. SO, nice to see your smiling face! You are so right, "His plan for us is right and good."
Sincerely,
Bonnie Bunker-Denico
