Brookie

Brookie and I made the eight hour round trip to Dallas to see the pediatric Urologist today. I couldn't wait to go so that I could find out what was wrong with her and stop worrying so much. Unfortunately I didn't find out anything. This doctor is sending her to two other doctors. One is a nephrologist (kidney specialist) and one is a GI doctor (abdominal specialist I think). The only thing I really learned was that there was still protein in her urine and that sometimes people just have that for no reason and it is nothing to worry about. We have to go to the nephrologist to find out if Brookie is one of those people. I can't wait to tell my boss that I have to miss even more work. That should be fun.

The good news is that the 'spells' of sickness and pain are getting farther and farther apart. She made it most of the day Saturday without getting sick. We walked all over an art festival in Austin and she had no problems. It wasn't until later that night at the One Act Play contest (where we placed second...woohoo) that she started throwing up again.

While we were at the festival Brookie had a caricature done of herself. She loves this picture. She thinks it is so cool to know what she'd look like if she were a cartoon. I told her if anyone should be in the funny papers it is her! Here is the picture she had drawn:

I won't know the dates for the other two appointments until tomorrow. I will be sure and let everyone know how they go. Thanks for all the prayers and well wishes!
