Hey Brooklyn supporters. I was just in CK5 to see Brooklyn yesterday. She is doing better than the last update. I was mistaken... it was a stem cell transplant she had... not a bone marrow transplant. The difference is that the stem cells take longer for the body to gain immunities. She is doing better, and her mouth sores are gone now, and she is taking her medicine a little better than previously. She will still have to be in hospital for a while, but were hoping to have a day pass today... and then possibly a night pass. This doesn't mean that she can go home... it means that they can go to their "sterile" transplant apartment. It's still a far cry from home. Her blood counts are still not up, which will take some time. I must say though... she looked really good. I asked dad what their prayer requests were, and he asked for prayers that infections and fevers stay away. She's a trooper... this little one, no doubt about that! So, lets continue to uplift this family as they continue to battle this beast that we all call cancer. Your prayers and other methods of support are very much supported!!
