Brookie

Brookelyn has been a very sick little girl! Last Thursday she woke up for school and said that her back was hurting. I thought it was just from doing back bends and jumping on her friends trampoline, when I picked her up from school her back was really hurting and she had a tummy ache so she came home and rested for a little while before her softball game. We went to her softball game and were only there for a few minutes before she wanted to go home. She had a head ache too. So I gave her some Medicine and put her to bed, at 4:00 am she started throwing up. Friday she stayed home from school and slept all day, Saturday she got a fever of 105, it would go down to about 102 when she had medicine in her, throwing up all day, she was absolutely miserable!! Brad gave her a priesthood blessing. Sunday I stayed home from church with her and just tried to keep her cool, she would complain about being really hot and want a cool rag for her head then she would be freezing with blankets piled on her, Still throwing up. Monday Brad and I took her to the doctor and he confirmed what I thought it was, She has a kidney infection, which he said is not very common for someone her age. He gave her an antibiotic and said she might be able to go to school on Wed. Tuesday she was miserable.Well Wed. came and went and she was still miserable , throwing up, high fever, the antibiotic wasn't working. The Doctor called to check on her and said to give her until Friday and then we'll decide what to do. Thursday morning the fever is gone and Brookelyn wants to eat.Yay! She is feeling alot better today and we are sooooo happy!! Our little Brookie lost 8 pounds in 7 days. Now that she's feeling better we'll have to fatten her up. She only weighs 57 pounds. I'm going to keep her home from school tomorrow and help her get caught up on her homework. Hopefully she'll be back to her fun little self again soon! We Love our sweet little Brookie, She's just an angel and a blessing in our home, her brothers have been very loving and helpful in taking care of her. I want to thank all of our family and friends who have been praying for her.
