As of today...Brooke is finished with school for a while (at least until the spring). This was supposed to have been her last week to attend, but she woke up early this morning with more congestion, so we made the decision to move it up a week. We're done fighting it...it's time to put her back in her bubble for a while and see if we can get her well again. There's so much flu already popping up and it's not worth chancing it. There is nothing more important than Brooke's health, especially during the winter months. Please pray that she does as well this go around as she did last winter.
Thursday is our appointment with the Internal Medicine doctor here in town. FINALLY! I'll be so relieved to finally get on board with the new doctor. I pray he is kind, compassionate, knowledgeable and understanding with Brooke and her needs. Oh, and did I mention...unafraid of a challenge? That would be nice! I prayed long and hard about this and feel God pointed us in his direction.
Brooke's INR levels remain challenging...she was 1.5 today. Up and down. Up and down. That seems to be the name of the Coumadin game. It's frustrating, but I've turned it all over to God. There's no need for me to worry about it since it's completely out of my control.
Brooke continues to fight her battles. She's struggled with this sinus/allergy/cough junk for a solid month now and ever time we think we have it licked (yesterday!) it comes back with a vengence. Hopefully, staying at home and getting more rest and less exposure to people will help her get rid of it and stay healthy during the flu months. Please pray for healing. For good health. For the ability for her to fight infection. And always...for guidance for Mike and I as we care for her. So much of this is doing what you believe is the right thing...there is no instruction manual for this child nor any website to ask for advice. Thank goodness God is a prayer away!! I lean on Him pretty heavily these days.
