Brooklyn Frank was diagnosed with ALL Leukemia in January, 2011. She is joined by her parents, Mike and Kristin, brother, Braden, and sisters, Kayla and Kelsey, in her fight against this disease. She continues to receive treatment each week and we look forward to celebrating the day she is cancer free. Brooklyn’s courageous spirit has inspired so many through this journey. We will post updates on this site as we get new information. We appreciate all of your prayers and support!

The Luck O' the Irish
Yesterday was my birthday. Yup, St. Patrick's Day. So, every year I get to wear green on my birthday! It's actually great because everyone wants to celebrate on that day, so that is fun. My friend texted me from San Francisco that everyone there was celebrating my birthday - they even had a few streets roped off. :) I had a great day. I don't know if it was the luck of the Irish, or just God smiling down and giving us some nice weather, but it was beautiful. My parents came over in the morning and Mike and I went out for breakfast and then went golfing. He's trying to claim that he let me win for my birthday, but we all know the truth! We ran home then to give Brooklyn her medicine, flush her Broviak and feed the baby and then went out and got new phones for my birthday and then dinner. My parents made cupcakes with the kids so when we came home, they sang for me and we all had delicious cupcakes topped with lots of frosting, sprinkles and skittles! I was pretty excited because it was our first Thursday in 3 weeks that we didn't have to go to the hospital for Brooklyn having a fever! It wouldn't have been quite as fun to celebrate there. Today was another good day. Brooklyn is feeling better and better it seems and ran all around the house playing with us this afternoon. It was really fun. I am so thankful for the best gifts I have ever received - my four precious children.
