Test Results Are Back

We received a phone call that Brookes lab test are back. Brooke has a visit with Dr.Brown on February 17th. A copy of the test arrived in the mail this week. Most of it is hard to understand except for the food allergies and sensitivities. She has quite a few.
Linda and I went over to see Brooke Monday night. She pulled me into the room and kept saying "Ahh Yuck". Don't know what that was about. Next, she had me lay down on the bed. She would say "Good-Night" and climb into her bed. She would lay there 30 seconds, get up, climb on my bed and turn on the light. I would sit up and say
"time to get up". She would say "no", turn off the light and get back into her bed. This routine went on about 5 times. The last time she covered me up and placed her dolly in my arms to hold. After that, it was time for some plastic bowling pin sword fighting. She likes to bang them together like we're having a sword fight. First she went after her little sister Lila. Not mean, just banging her pins onto Lila's pins she was holding. Lila wasn't too impressed with this. She dropped her pins and got onto the couch. Brooke came over and handed me one pin. Banged them together for a few seconds, then she had me switch pins with her. After a few times it was time for her book. She has a book with animal pictures in that she is quite intrigued with. She would study the pictures for a few seconds. I would point at an animal. If it was the sheep, she would go over to Linda and go "baaa". Come back over, look at the pictures again, and go back over to Linda again. Each animal was covered 2 or 3 times. "nay" for the horse,
"moo" for the cow, and "click" for the chicken. It was now time to go home. I told Brooke I had to go home. She said "No". I waited a minute and told her I had to go home. I got up and put on my coat. She ran out of the room saying, "wait, wait, wait". Cora said she was going after her coat. Cora's boyfriend Sean stopped Brooke and told her she wasn't going outside. Brooke came back over and wrapped her arms around me in a very tight hug. I hugged her back and told her we were going to see Dr. Brown next week. She let go and pulled me over to the TV. Pushed my arm up to grab the remote control. I asked Cora to find Brooke a movie to watch. The first one that came up, Brooke hollered "NO" and slapped the TV screen. Cora said "ok, ok" and found Brooke another movie. Brooke seemed happy with that one. She sat and watched the movie as Linda and I walked out the house.
