Brooke’s CP Blog

Monday, Oct. 27th…5 days to go

October 27th, 2008

Hello everyone.  Brooke had her IV injection today. All went well. The IV’s are a breeze for her.  We didn’t do much today at all.  We had therapy, Brooke didn’t participate well at all, as usual.  Brooke misses Diana her therapist back home.  She will not work out much here for Tom.  The therapy is not like at home or what she is use to.  She has a relationship with Diana. 

There is another little girl her with her mom and grandma and she has cerebral palsy too.  The little girl’s name is Kitty and mom Debbie and grandma Wendy from South Africa, very nice people. 

We did go to Polar Ocean World on Sunday, downtown Qingdao.  We saw a whale and dolphin show there.  It was fun and nice.  It was especially nice just to break the routine of the hospital.  It was very hard with Brooke, she wanted to get out and see everything.  She gets to be  very heavy after holding her awhile.  I can’t hold her very long anymore, she is getting big.   Then we went to McDonald’s and shopping at Jusco mall, Brooke loves her chicken nuggets and Big Mac’s taste great.  We brought our neighbor Mike some back, since he can’t get out there himself.

We are at the 5 day mark and more then ready to come home.  Brooke will have her final treatment Wednesday via spinal.  We are anxious to return home to our normal schedule and getting back into therapy.  Brooke will be increasing her therapy days.  If there is improvements, I will want to come back to China.  There is a lady from Singapore here with her son (patient), daughter and caregiver.  This is her 3rd time coming to china for Stem Cell treatment. 

We bought some Halloween decorations and hung them up here.  I am gong to miss Halloween this year with my daughter.  I have taken care of her Halloween costume before I came her to China.  She is going to be what else, Hanna Montana.

We have already begun selling on ebay.  Let the selling begin. We will be needing to sell more now on ebay since I am increasing her therapy schedule, so if you need shoes, come shop at our ebay store BROOKE”S BARGAIN BASEMENT, AKA: mooreroom1.  If anyone needs to email please do so at just4brooke@gmail.com.

Until tomorrow.  Miss you all

Kristine
