Update on Brooke 2

Just another update on Brooke. I know this is Carter's site but he wants to share the news about his new cousin with all of his friends.

Still nothing changed with Brooke, we talked with our resident doctor and they are thinking they may try to take her breathing tube out tomorrow if all continues to go well tonight. Brooke is showing that she is trying to do the work of breathing on her own. Most of her other organs are beginning to heal themselves and all the work they are supposed to be doing is slowly coming together. She has not needed any transfusions since yesterday and they don't anticipate her needing anymore.

Trent and I are just sitting here in her room talking and discussing the past few days events as we haven't hardly have time to do that yet. We feel so blessed with the care we have all received. The staff at New Richmond hospital did such an amazing job at saving our daughter. I can't believe how fast they worked at getting her out and realizing something was wrong. Dr. Frazier and all the nurses were so supportive to me in the day I was at the hospital by myself before I was able to come to United. The staff at Children's and United Hospital have also been great. Brooke has so many doctors and nurses looking out for her, they are just amazing. Any time we have questions they make sure they are answered and that we understand what they are saying. Trent and I are completely amazed at the care we have received.

Just checked with Brooke's nurse the warming is going a little slower than we thought it would - but that is just fine because things are going good. She is at about 95 degrees right now. So she may not be completely warmed until late late tonight.

Good night to everyone.

Love, Trent, Brittany and Brooke
