Happy Halloween!

Halloween is definitely one of my favorite holidays! I was worried we wouldn't be able to do much because of the timing of Brooklyn's Chemo would put her at her lowest counts and we usually have to isolate her when that happens. Luckily, we finished her last round of Chemo three days before Halloween and her counts are just fine at that time. Her last round went wonderful. Brooklyn is an old pro and didn't even get upset the whole time we were at Primaries. Because the Chemotherapy has damaged her hearing we did a lower dose and she tolerated everything just fine. Since having the NG tube put in she had put some weight on and seems to have a lot more energy. Our next plan is to have an MRI next week and sit down and talk with her oncologist about options. We also meet with her new ENT doctor and get started on hearing aids. I don't know how she is going to feel about them but like everything she will probably handle it better than she should.

By the time Halloween came around we found out that our neighborhood and ward weren't really doing anything so I called my brother in Pocatello and we crashed their Halloween. Brooklyn and Porter got to go Trick-or-treating with their four girl cousins and had so much fun. Brooklyn dressed up like a doctor (because she pretty much is one!) and Porter was a fireman.

Here is our family in my brother Kelly's neighborhood. Its sad how quickly you forget the cold in Idaho!
Here is Dr. Brooklyn. It was a fun way to get her to wear her mask. She actually loved it.
Here is Brookie and Porter looking into their candy. Porter just tried to run into every body's house. That is about the time we broke out the stroller.
And here is our handsome fireman. He wouldn't keep his hat on and I found out how difficult it is to draw a mustache on a fourteen month old baby! His nose was running and he ate more candy than anybody (him and his cousin his age snuck into some earlier).
