Brooke, Jan 2010

By January 2010, Brooke was not doing very well. She was still in diapers, and had severe diaper rash. She was also breaking out with large boils on her body. The little girl that I once couldn't get enough of, was becoming the little girl I didn't look forward to seeing. She still loved grandpa, but was getting almost impossible to handle. Her tantrums were out of hand. She would take her clothes off. She wasn't sleeping well, and her appetite was limited to Chicken Nuggets and junk food. But, by a fate of God, a change was coming.
It was at a Birthday party for my one step daughter at the end of January. Brooke came in the house and was in a decent mood. She hadn't eaten anything all day. Then it came time for ice cream and birthday cake. After 2 pieces of cake and 2 bowls of ice cream Brooke got back down and went to go watch her videos. Something changed in Brooke. Her good mood was no longer there. Off came her clothes. Mom said it was time to leave, then the worst tantrum I have ever seen. The child was like a wild animal. Grandpa loves her, but I can't handle this. After Brooke left and the dust settled, a light bulb came on in my head. The change in Brooke after eating. I went to the internet to do some research. What I found was the most amazing thing I could ever dream of. Hope of getting my little Brooke back.
