Hello Everyone,
I hope this email finds you all in good health, peace and serenity. Brooke, my mother and Jeff left today for Fort Worth, Texas for Brooke's Brain Surgery that will be taking place this Wednesday at 7:00am. They will be gone for one month, due to the intensity of the surgery. I ask everyone to please keep Brooke in your prayers, even if you don't know her that well. Although, please let me tell you a little something about my sister who is only 8 years old. She is the most energetic little girl you will ever meet who has always kept her spirits up even with being diagnosed two years ago with Dystonia. Dystonia is a neurological mussel disorder that has affected her feet, toes and the lower part of her legs and has a 90% chance of it moving up the rest of her body. Her team of doctors from Birmingham, Alabama referred her to a hospital in Fort Worth, Texas that specializes in a brain surgery to help patients with Dystonia live a much better life. God willing when her surgery is successful, she will no longer have to take all the twice daily handful of pills or have to wear uncomfortable leg braces and shoes and many other befits other than just these two. So, I ask everyone out there to please take some time and get on your knees and pray to God to guide the team of surgeon's hands, protect Brooke's body and for all of God's Guarding Angels to camp around her and keep her well, safe and strong for a speedy recovery.
Thank you in advance to everyone for all of your time, thoughts and prayers. And for anyone and everyone who would like to send Brooke something special during her time away at the hospital you can to Cooks Children's Hospital at the following address and number below.
