Brooke has begun her 2nd week of Conductive Education.  She is doing well.  She enjoys her school days here and has been getting a major case of the giggles at night!  She has many friends at the Ronald McDonald House who she enjoys being with evenings after school.  It's good for the kids, they all get along so well.  So do the Moms.   We've been enjoying eachother's company and sharing stories and experiences and some shopping excursions too!  Brooke and I have been trying to keep busy after school for awhile before returning to the House.  She of course wants to eat right away and that makes for a long night if she's eating dinner by 4:00.  Yesterday we went to the library and read books, did puzzles, and today after school she wants to pick out a couple puzzles from the store.  Course we have hundreds of them at home.....
Joyce G. is due later today and will interview and video Brooke's progress during Conductive Ed.  The Conductors here are very pleased with her progress, being able to walk with her canes, and using just the one cane.  Brooke also follows the group vocalizing (ie "sitting tall"  "feet flat"  back straight", they sing this and Brooke really is trying to say the words!)   Better go pick her up, day of school is almost done.  She goes every day from 9-3:00. 
Thanks for caring and praying for the Queen.

      Good to know that Brooke is having a good time in Michigan. We sure do miss her at school in East Troy. I have been so bored and have had no one to giggle with since she left! Take good care and see you soon.

      Hello Brooke! I saw Brady yesterday and he can't wait to go to Michigan to see "the girls". Sounds like things are going very well, but we know it's a lot of work for you and we are so proud of you. You and your mommy are very strong and can really work hard to achieve your goals. Love, Aunt Shar and Uncle Mike
      PS Uncle Mike made chili for Brady and he aptually ate some, with a little coaching, of course, and lots of soup crackers....LOL
