Back in ICU

At 3:00 am Brittney told the nurse that something was wrong. By 3:15 am she stopped breathing and the doctors worked on her. They were able to revive her and take her to ICU.

We're being told that the next 24-48 hours are very critical as her heart's rhythm needs to stay strong and steady with the meds they're giving her. The doctors also said that because she was without oxygen for over 30 minutes, it's possible that she has brain damage. Right now she's too critical for further testing to see if there is brain damage or how much (if any).

We're an emotional wreck, but we're holding on spiritually. Please lift Brittney, mom & family to the Lord at this time. Especially pray Brittney through this critical time.

New Phases of Brittney's Healing Manifest

We are rejoicing in all things and thanking the Lord for all He is doing in Brittney's life. This past Sunday with the help of our pastor and her older brother, she walked in church. In addition to this, whenever she goes somewhere outside the house, she walks from the car to her bed with the support of mom and big brother. Brittney will soon be taken off anti-biotics because her blood level is much improved. We are believing God that this time when she comes off antibiotics that the infection is completely gone and never to return. Next week, Brittney will visit a new school for people with developmental disabilities. She's scheduled to start soon. In this new school, she will receive full rehabilitation services: occupational, physical and speech therapy. So, we're excited about this new phase in her healing process. Our prayer is that she will be fully alert, responsive and receptive to the new school, teachers, students and especially to rehabilitation. On the 18th of t

Eight Days & Counting...

Today is day 8 of Brittney being in ICU at Children's Hospital. It has been an emotional and spiritual journey for Brittney, her mom, siblings and family. We are thanking God daily for progress. Some days are slow, some days we've had setbacks, but in God we have remained faithful and hopeful of God's promises of healing for Brittney. Yesterday we learned that Brittney has two spots on her hips that may be the cause of the infection that tried to destroy her body. Right now as we type this, the doctors are drawing fluid from the spots on her hips to test for infection. If the test is positive, they will operate to remove the infection. We are pleased that her lungs and respiratory seems to be improving. Our pray focus is that her Peep Respiratory number goes down to 10. This will mean that her airways will start contracting better so that she will be able to breath on her own when they remove the ventilator. She is still in an induced coma and paralysis. So as of our knowle

We've Been Here Before

It's hard sometimes, but I (Auntie Meka) have to remind myself that we've been here before... and just as God did it then, He'll do it again. God is able indeed. But not only is He able, He wants to... He wants to be our healer, deliverer, Savior, peace... our everything. In the natural, what we experienced last Thursday may have seemed like a set back. But I'm learning that what seems to be one thing is actually another. I've determined that "seem" is really an illusion of the mind influenced by outer circumstances. The reality in all that "seems" to be is that God is still God! And that is where my heart takes anchor and rejoice for Brittney, my sister, our family, friends & incercessors all over the world. God is raising up a real live testimony of His Might, His Power and His Spirit. Saints, let us rejoice and begin praising God even now! Despite what it seems in your situation, I just want to encourage you to just praise God right now! H
