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!

Brooks has been back in the hospital since Sunday. He is doing well and received his last dose of chemo today. Round 3 is officially over. We are waiting for his counts to hit zero. Hopefully he will do just as well as he did last time. He has been putting together lots of Legos and watching a whole lot of Discovery and History channel. He misses his brothers. They are coming up to visit him tomorrow night, and I know that all of the boys are looking forward to spending time together. Remember him in your thoughts and prayers. We love you Brooks!
