Today was Brooke's last spinal!!  Whoopee!!  Makes for a very happy group.  Friday she will receive her 6 of 6 total through IV.  We're glad no more spinals, makes for a long day for Brooke.  We're just getting ready for bed, she has been lying flat for 6 hours and I'm hoping she's tired enough to sleep.  She's one of the few kids who doesn't sleep following the procedure.  She knows she gets to eat sometimes afterwards though, that is why.  She asks right away out of the operating room.  She's still coming up with more and more sounds and is repeating a LOT.  We have to watch out!  Tomorrow we'll see how she's feeling, whether or not we do therapy, maybe just the afternoon PT session.  Then Wednesday we hope to finish our shopping for trinkets, it's going to be real nice out.  The weekend may get long in our anticipation of returning home, but we're just glad it's close.  It has been an experience like no other, good and bad, we have learned to take life with both over the years and this is just another indication of such.  Looking forward to seeing everyone next week!  Love Vicki Cindy & Brooke

      Hi Brooke,
      I am so happy to read that your speech is growing more and more! That is so exciting! I can't believe it's almost time for you to come home, we'll have lots of work to do when you get back so you can put sentences together! Keep up the great work I am really proud of how brave you are!
      Here's another knock knock joke for you.
      Brooke you say:
      Knock Knock;
      The other person will say:
      Who's there.
      Brooke say:
      Catch
      The other person will say:
      Catch who.
      Then Brooke say:
      Bless you!
      See you soon.
      Hi to Mom and Aunt Cindy.

      Hey Brooke.. when Brady was over on Friday I mentioned that we would only have one more Friday together and he said "That's cuz Brookie's coming home, right?" and then I said she would be so happy to see him and he said "yeah, she will crawl right over to me". I said, "what if she knock you right over?" and he said "That's okay with me". He will be so happy to see you again and he said "Oh Vincie will be happy too". Won't we all be though? Love to you and a safe trip home. Shar and Mike
