So who is Brooke, and why the foundation?
Welcome to Brooke's site. It has been created to keep friends and family
updated about our loving little girl and to provide a centralized
communication tool for everyone involved.
Ok, now for Brooke's heartbreaking story...
God brought me to Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOPS) on Sunday
January 4th, 2009. I am in great hands and know God is watching over me
because of all the prayers you all have been saying for me.
On Christmas Day I did not feel real well and I laid on the couch instead of
playing with my presents from Santa. The next day Mommy took me to the
doctors and I had an ear infection, a sinus infection and my leg hurt very
bad. The doctor prescribed some antibiotics for my ear and sinus infection
and sent me to the emergency room for some X-Rays on my leg. The ER Doctors
diagnosed it as Toxic Synovitis (Transient Arthritis). An infection in my
right hip brought on from maybe my ear infection or sinus infection.
Things were getting better on my follow up visit to the Orthopedic doctors
on Wednesday the 31st, I still had my sinus infection. I was still well
enough and looking forward to spending the weekend with my Mommy and Daddy.
My extended weekend started out with a nights stay at the Hilton in OC with
Baby Ashley, Danny, Dara, Daelyn, Cole, Luke and Brynn. I had a great time
in the pool and went to dinner at the Dough Roller where I had pizza and got
a toy airplane. Then on to a visit to Nana's house on Friday and Grammy's
house on Saturday. I was also going to visit my Great Grandparents and Pop
Pop & Mom Mom Mulford on Sunday. On Saturday January 3rd I started not
feeling well and my legs hurt very bad and I did not walk on them past 6PM.
Sunday morning I was not any better and still not walking and Mommy and
Daddy were very concerned, I did not get to continue my visits or return
home in Salisbury. I really miss my puppy Bailey and my kitty Lulu. However
by me going to visit everyone, this is where God allowed me to be brought to
Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOPS). Since Sunday afternoon this is
where I have been diagnosed with something different than Toxic Synovitis.
As every day passes please pray for me and be sure to read the latest in the
journal, view the photo gallery, and drop me a line in the guestbook.
God Bless Everyone.
Thank you,
Brooke and Her Family including Bailey!
So initially this is a foundation for Brooke Mulford, to help in the efforts to
cure her of this horrible disease. We hope in the future, that through this
foundation and every other foundation dedicated to the fight against cancer, that
we can help in some way to make that dream come true!
Thank you,
Team Brooke
