I hope your weekend was a beautiful one. I haven’t had the time or emotional energy to do much once I lay down on the couch to sleep in Brooke’s room so I’ll keep this short but we were transferred to a new hospital to be near specialists. Brooke has shown us how strong she is as she has gone through this complication from her tonsil surgery. What has happened is very rare but she is handling it better than I could have.

On Friday night the MRI showed that she had a bone infection in her foot and skin/tissue/muscle infection in other areas. We were so grateful to learn that her heart was not touched by the infection because that was a huge concern. She has had some great improvements and we are so grateful to be where we are to keep a close eye on her hand that has had some more problems.

Her nurses have become my heroes. Her doctors are brilliant. We feel so much love and support. Thanks for being with me for the highs and the lows over the years… this has definitely felt like the hardest few days of my life but I’ve also experienced more gratitude and love than I thought possible along the way.


Brookie was admitted to the hospital yesterday and we will be here a few days as we figure things out. She is in a lot of pain and would love some prayers as her doctors try to figure out what is going on. I don’t even know what to say besides I’m worried sick but … Continue Reading

(crop, shorts) The two of us met in 7th grade at basketball tryouts. I didn’t make it past the 1st cut (that stung) and she made the team. Twenty-five years later, I’m still trying to be as athletic as Tawny, haha. Half of us did a workout at the track and half of us did … Continue Reading
