I didn't blog this week because I didn't have anything to say. That's a first! I ALWAYS have plenty to say. What's wrong with me?? Anyway, Brooke is doing well. Her INR was 1.7 yesterday, so it's slowly coming up. She remains on 5 Mg of Coumadin daily and lately, she's done ok on that dose. We are doing everything we can think of to keep her healthy. It's scary! So many people either have the flu or sinus issues right now. I started her on vitamin D3 today...it's supposed to help protect the body, and she actually likes the taste of the pill. I keep praying that none of us get sick...especially Brooke.
Brooke is so amusing! She was watching a commercial on TV today about birds on an island not being able to fly. One bird sees a jet and starts flapping his wings trying to fly. Brooke sat in the floor imitating the bird. While ago, she tried chest compressions on Mike in the recliner. Not just beating on his chest, but the actions of someone who has been through CPR training. Neither of us can figure out where she saw CPR being done unless it was on an episode of Emergency. See...I knew buying all 5 seasons of Emergency would be educational for my child! Ha. Brooke's brain is like a sponge...sometimes it appears to be wet and she is more alert and understanding of things going on around her. When it's like this - she picks up things so quickly and is more alert and attentive. And then at times it seems dry and things don't soak in as easily. It's very intersting.
We had another birthday party tonight complete with a bright yellow cake from Albertsons. My birthday is Tuesday, so this was a party for me. Yay! Brooke loves our birthday parties! We had fun.
Please pray for continued health, a safe and nurturing environment and added protection from the many germs floating around right now.
