Fast Healing Brain

Brittney was admitted to the hospital yesterday for a routine blood transfusion. That went really well. The doctors also looked at her arm and they don't see anything that alerts them that something is wrong. So there are no major red flags. She will see the orthodepic doctor on Monday who will give us a better understanding. Besides that all is well. While in the hospital, the rehab doctors saw Brittney and were very impressed with her healing. One doctor told mom that he is "surprised that her brain is healing as fast as it is." They also made plans to get her a certain medication in due time that will help her brain to slow down and function better. Each day, we see the miracle hand of God on Brittney's life. She is more alert and moving her limbs. She's even started eating tiny portions of special foods. You would not believe all the nay-sayers who are so impressed with Brittney's progress thus far. Your prayers... our prayers... are working! We will soon

More of Brittney

Each day, we see more of Brittney's personality surfacing and it is a blessing to witness. Brittney is talking. Some words she shouts. We believe that's because of brain activity regulating itself. However, when she speaks in her normal voice, it's very clear and is relevant about 70% of the time. The shouts are not as bad as they were... they are definitely going away. Yesterday, she had a swallow test and passed. That means that she is able to begin eating (a little at a time)... which means the quicker her feeding tube will be removed. Also, she's moving her limbs and yesterday at therapy, she sat up on her own 90% of the time. So, she's making vast improvements still. Please continue to pray for a complete manifestation of her healing. We will definitely keep praising God each day as we see her shine forth! -The Williams Family To leave a comment, write to BrittneyMonyse@ymail.com

"Praise God!"

This week's blog post is from "Auntie Latonja" who (with her husband Dedric) were our guest family members this past Sunday at church. It was Brittney's first day at church since being hospitalized. Hello Family, Friends and Loved Ones! I pray that the message reaches you with GOD’S FAVOR and ABUDANCE and Most of all his “LOVE” … I am finding myself wanting to LOVE more and more since Joyce Meyers has started this “Love Revolution”… Anyways… Just wanted to give you all an UPDATE on A MIRACLE! Yesterday my Husband and I went to Worship w/our Niece Brittney! We all sat as a “Family” and it was SO AWESOME! The Church was just OVERWHELMED w/ LOVE for Britt, Excitement to SEE her when the Dr’s Had Given up on her and The SEE the GLOW of a MOTHER that didn’t/hasn’t given up on her child!! It was Phenomenal!! During Services, Brittney “Babbled” but out of the guts of her belly she managed to scream out the words “PRAISE GOD” as a BABY was being Blessed/Dedicated to God… WO

"Thank You Jesus"

All throughout Brittney's ICU/hospital stay, mom and aunt have always encouraged her to think about Jesus... to say His name in her mind and to say the name "Jesus" whenever she could. We'd encourage her in and out of consciousness. We'd say, "Brittney, even though you can't speak right now, say the name of Jesus over and over in your mind. One day you will be able to say the name of Jesus and when you do, say it over and over again." Even with her being home, we'd remind her to think and say the name of Jesus because there is healing in the name of Jesus. Today, mom heard Brittney whispering and she walked over to her bed only to clearly hear her whispering, "Thank You Jesus" over and over again! Hallelujah, Lord God! We are rejoicing & thanking Jesus with Brittney! What an awesome thing to witness the miracle that is Brittney! -The Williams Family To leave a comment, write to BrittneyMonyse@ymail.com

Brittney is Talking!

After two days of making noise, today she's talking! As the day progresses she talks more and more. Some words are clear while others are moans and groans. She remembers a lot as we can tell. She's a miracle in the making. Our prayer focus is that she continues to talk with much more clarity and fluency. The more she talks the better it gets. She's talking even now... been going at it for an hour straight. I wish I could express to you the joy we have in our hearts over this. If you had been there when the doctors told us she would be a vegetable and would never do anything beyond a blank stare. BUT GOD!!! Oh what a mighty God we serve! Hallelujah! Together (your prayers and ours), we're literally seeing the Hand of God in Brittney's life. Keep praying! Don't give up! My heart is bubbling now as I write this with tears of joy... God is faithful and He is real! If you don't believe look at Brittney's life (go back and read her blog)! Deaquelynn~ aka "

Making Adjustments

Brittney has been home for a week and she is doing great! We're all adjusting to her schedule of meds and feeds as well as scheduling nurses, home health care, and home therapy... not including doctors visits and transportation. It's been quite a week. Brittney has been well. She's resting much better than she did when she was in the hospital too. She stopped talking and now that is our prayer focus... that she'll start talking again and communicate with us so we can best meet her needs. Please join us in prayer that she begins to speak again. -The Williams Family To leave a comment, write to BrittneyMonyse@ymail.com
