Brooke has been on the new program now about one month. There have been a few rough times, one of the supplements wasn't agreeing with her, and she seemed to be regressing. Cora stopped giving it to Brooke and now things are heading in the right direction again. Tonight I personally witnessed a miracle with Brooke. Cora pushed Brooke and her little sister Lila down to our house tonight in the double carriage. Brooke couldn't undo her seat belt and looked up at grandma and said "help, I'm stuck." Grandma unhooked her and Brooke came in the house and got out a movie to watch. When the movie started, Brooke pointed at the screen and said to me "look, a star." It was actually the moon, but close enough. Brooke was just so happy watching the movie. Laughing and clapping at different times. After 30 minutes, Grandma came in the house and said Cora was ready to leave. As usual, I was expecting a battle for Brooke to leave. After 4 plus years, Brooke has never left our house without a fight. I told Brooke it was time to go home. At first she ignored me. I repeated it again. She said No and climbed on the couch behind me. Grandma said to me she would shut off TV. I was expecting the usual fight when TV was shut off. TV is off now and something is not right here. Brooke climbed off the couch, opened the door and walked out on the porch. Maybe it's a trap, surely she will rebel soon. I am expecting the worse at any second. Brooke walked down the steps and climbed into the carriage. Holy crap Batman, did you just see what I just saw. I told Cora I have just witnessed a miracle. Cora snapped her seatbelt and told the girls to say good-bye. They both said bye and waved as Cora pushed them down the driveway. I was totally floored. I have never ever seen that happen before. Dr. Brown had said that all the supplements will help, but the biggest changes will be seen when the lead (aka heavy metals) start coming out of Brookes system. The above story is just one of many changes I have seen with Brooke. Brooke is now starting to say sentences. Cora told me a few things Brooke has said. One being said to a school teacher that asked Brooke to do something. Brookes response, "I don't want to, I'm tired. Another example was Brooke to her Mom, "come on, I want a piggy back ride." I was in the truck with Cora and Brooke a few days ago. Cora asked Brooke to say elephant. I couldn't believe it when Brooke said "elephant". Cora asked Brooke what elephants do. Brooke put her arm out in front of her face like an elephant trunk and bent her hand down. Grandma watches Brooke and Lila a few mornings a week from 5 a.m. to 8 a.m. while Cora goes to nursing school. She drops Brooke off at school and Lila to day care at 8 a.m. I leave for work at about 6 a.m. Every morning for the last 3 weeks Brooke always tells me good-bye or just ignores me, but never seems to mind that I'm leaving. It is like the cobwebs are clearing up and she understands what is going on. Brooke is also pretty good at giving high fives and said "Christmas" twice to me this morning when she saw Santa Claus on TV. The biggest battle with Brooke is getting her supplements into her. She rarely cooperates. It is a hard battle, but one worth fighting, and one that is being won by those that love that special little girl named Brooke.

Brooke, Great Things Are Happening
