Latest on Brooke from Brent
Brooke update:
Good morning Family,
Brooke remains in the hospital. We’re getting close to one week. Yesterday was the first day where her fever wasn’t up and down, another good sign that the antibiotics are working. She continues to get fluids and meds through her IV and blood draws frequently through the day and night. We were hopeful that she would be discharged last night however she’s still in a lot of pain and breathing very shallow at about 36 times a minute . With every breath she feels like her lungs are on fire. This morning they’re giving another round of IV antibiotics with the possibility of coming home this evening.
I feel like I’m on an extended attack wildland fire. We have anchored and flanked the fire but are unable to get around the head to put the fire out. It’s very frustrating and we’re feeling a little impatient. Please continue to lift Brooke up throughout the day, as we trust God continues to hold her close. Brent
- Thanks for the update and we are praying for all of you! Would it be helpful for several of us to drop off some meals??
