Brooks' Story

On December 28, 2009, Brooks Call was diagnosed with acute Myeloid leukemia (AML), also known as acute myelogenous leukemia. AML is a very aggressive cancer that starts in the bone marrow and keeps the blood cells from maturing the way they should. Brooks is 13 years old and is the son of Greg and Lisa Call. He has two younger brothers, Ethan and Nic.

Along with our prayers, well wishes, and positive thoughts for Brooks, what can we do to help Brooks and his family? Our goal is to allow all family and friends to assist Greg and Lisa with any funding we can donate for the many expenses that will be involved in keeping Brooks going strong. Not only would we like to contribute to help with the mounting medical bills, but also for gas, babysitting, food while staying with Brooks at the hospital, and many other expenses.

Please look at the "Please Help Brooks" section on how-to-donate. We have made it very easy for all family and friends to help out – where ever you are! Please donate, and pass along this notice to all of your family and friends. Have them go to this blog to find out more information on how to donate and get updates on Brooks!

Thanks, from all Brooks’ Family!

We have been home for ten days now. Yahoo! The hospital is so full and Brooks is doing so well that we have been allowed to stay home longer than we anticipated and it has been wonderful! Brooks took us all by surprise last round (doctors included) and recovered much more quickly than expected. He has been feeling so good. If he had hair, no one would know he is sick. The doctors called me this morning with news from his latest bone marrow biopsy and LP. . . No sign of cancer in the tests so far. I feel so blessed, things right now are going so well. I hope his strength continues. Tomorrow we go back to start round three.
