The great news is that Brooklyn does not have cystic fibrosis. I didn't mention that they were testing for that because I didn't want to cause any unnecessary worry. She has some strong symptoms of it so we were pretty nervous for a few days, but luckily she does not have it! The testing went well (as well as I could have hoped). They hooked her up to a machine and had to send electrical shocks to her arm for 5 minutes. She did not like it, but tolerated it pretty well. Occasionally, she'd lock her little fists up and just shake them because it was so uncomfortable. That made me so sad, but she is so tough! After that part they wrapped her arms up and we just had to walk around the hospital for 30 minutes. She LOVED that part. She had Mom and Dad's full attention (without Kyle) and everybody who saw her absolutely adored her. She would walk up to people and lift her arms up and point to her "bandages." It was totally adorable. After they removed the wraps from her arms they had to do the blood work. That was no fun, but the lady got it on the first try. What a miracle! That is way better than the four tries it took last time. Some of her labs were a little out of range, but nothing to be too concerned about. We still need to follow up with somebody about why she is not growing. My doctor is supposed to call me to figure out a plan from here.

Thank goodness for daddies!
