It looks like Brooklyn will have a bone marrow biopsy, a spinal tap, and a chest catheter put in tomorrow, Thursday. The biopsy will test to see what type of Leukemia is in her bone marrow, which will help doctors determine the course of action for treating Brooklyn. The chest catheter will allow doctors and nurses to take blood and give Brooklyn medicines and chemo without having to "poke" her with needles. We are hopeful that we will know the results from these procedures shortly after the surgery. Most likely, Brooklyn will start chemo as soon as Friday, which means she will be in the hospital until at least Monday.
Praying it is a quick surgery and smooth recovery for the Brookster!
ReplyDelete"Do not let any set of circumstances intimidate you. The more challenging your day, the more of My power I place at your disposal. You seem to think that I empower you equally each day, but this is not so. Your tendency upon awakening is to asses the difficulties ahead of you, measuring them against your average strength. This is an exercise in unreality. I know what each of your days will contain, and I empower you accordingly. The degree to which I strengthen you on any given day is based mainly on two variables: the difficulty of your circumstances, and your willingness to depend on ME for help. Try to view challenging days as opportunities to receive more of My Power than usual. Look to me for ALL that you need, and watch to see what I will do. As your day, so shall your strength be. Ephesians 1:18-20; Psalm 105:4; Deuteronomy 33:25

I know there are no words that can make you feel any better but I know that Brooklyn's wonderful smile must help. What a beautiful family you have. If Kristen and I can ever be of any help watching your other girls while you are at the hospital, please let us know. Santa was very good to Ethan and Addison this year! There are lots of fun things to do at her house. Ethan and Addison would love the company. I'll keep your family in my prayers each day. I feel everything will be just fine.
ReplyDeleteBrooklyn has the most precious smile, which must help by just looking at her. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this hard time.
