Just want to let you all know that Brittney has been doing great! We recently noticed a difference in her brain activity and it has her up at night talking more than she has before. Not only that, but now she manages to get relevant sentences out...
When aunt helped give her medicine, she said, "Thank you for helping me."
When mom went into the laundry room, she asked, "Where are you going?"
When mom was holding a baby cousin, she asked, "Is that your baby?"
When mom said good night, she said, "Sweet dreams."
In addition to this, she is also moving her limbs more and was able to sit up on the side of the bed this past Sunday for over 30 minutes without assistance. She's also helping move her body for diaper changes.
From a medical perspective, although she's a long way from where she once was, her blood count is still lower than it needs to be.
Prayer focus: Consistency in behavior and speech patterns (ability to speak and say more). Her blood continues to return to normal and infection free.

Great Numbers
Brittney is great! Aware, present, talking some and being as beautiful as ever! The doctors are really pleased with her blood count and the numbers as it related to the infection in her body. Where they once said it would be several months before they take her off antibiotics, now they're saying it's a matter of weeks instead. God is continuing to manifest healing in Brittney every day. It's great to be a witness!
Last week she had a rehabilitation evaluation. She did really great in physical therapy, so much so that she was exhausted for occupational therapy.
That appointment was an assessment. The therapists and the doctors will meet to determine if they will continue to work with Brittney on a weekly basis or just whenever she does something new. Although we feel that Brittney needs rehab every week right now, we're praying that they don't drop her altogether.
Thank you all for your continued prayer support.
