Last Week: Derek's Spring Break

Thumbs Up!!

Well so far Brooklyn is having a "thumbs-up" radiation experience. She is doing so well.

Last week was Derek's Spring Break, so he got to spend it with his family and help take Brooklyn to treatments. They finished out their week in Island Park on a family snowmobiling trip with some of Angelie's family. Angelie also celebrated her birthday while in Island Park (complete with Cocoa Bean cupcakes!!) We met up with Derek & family on Friday as they were heading up to IP. We went to dinner at Gringo's. Brooklyn was such a happy girl! She seems to be doing so well! (Sicily on the other hand was quite the handful at dinner. I ended up with an entire pitcher of ice water on my lap!)

Here is an excerpt from an email Kimaree sent me last Monday:

"Today we went to Cabelas in Lehi to watch them feed the fish. The fish were huge! At first they would just give them large pellets, which was cool and all, but then they threw in some live goldfish and they fought to get them! It was intense. There was even a kid who screamed and cried because they ate the friendly goldfish. Brookie loved it though. Also we went through the "game room" to look at the animals, and our last stop was at the general store upstairs to eat fudge which she loved. She seriously is a girl because she will never turn down chocolate. In the pictures you can see Brookie is wearing a pink thing. That's her "cape" from Megamind (which is a movie that just came out). She NEVER takes it off. It's pretty cute. One week she is a princess, the next she is a superhero."

This is Brooklyn's third week of radiation. What a beautiful little girl! She still has a sparkle in her eyes.... something that was not present last year during radiation treatments. We really are blessed. Thank you all for your continued prayers. Brooklyn is doing so well.
