Brittney's Road to Divine Instructions & Healing

Because her brain is still healing, sometimes Brittney has a hard time processing swallowing liquids. She's swallow food, but rarely swallows liquids. Recently at school, she drank a Sprite. She even took the can out of the teacher's hand and put the can up to her mouth. We are still seeing miracles daily in Brittney's life!

Brittney participated in the Special Olympics and she won 1st place in bowling! Who say's there is no God or that God is not doing miracles in this day and age? Brittney is living proof that not only does God exist, but He delights in modern day miracles!

This morning while mom and little brother were getting her out the bed, she scooted to the edge of the bed and stood to her feet independent of their assistance. Then she pushed her body forward a couple of times in efforts to take a couple of steps, but was unable to get going. Lately she's been taking a few steps without assistance and standing without assistance as well. We're rejoicing at new manifestations of healing. If you don't know by now, the LORD is real! The healing made available to us by Jesus' stripes is real! We only need to access it by faith! How do you access it by faith? Hearing God's Word on healing, believing that you are already healed, confess that you are healed, and then take action. Mom, our family and Brittney has been taking action lately and so can YOU! Hallelujah! -The Williams Family To leave a comment, be sure to write to BrittneyMonyse@ymail.com.

Brittney has been doing great! God continues to show Himself faithful on Brittney's behalf and each day we continue to see new manifestations of miracles. Currently, Brittney is going through the developmental stages all over again. Where she once displayed baby-like behaviors, she's now in toddler staged (temper tantrums). It's been great seeing her transition from one stage to another as it gives us hope that she'll continue to develop. She's speaking more words. Lately she's been having a unique behavior where we can't tell whether she's laughing or crying as there are no tears and she sounds like she's laughing but her face seems as if she's crying. As we're trying to figure out this new emotion, we rejoice because we were told that she would be lifeless and have no emotions. Our prayer focus is for communication, her ability to walk, and her blood levels to continue to return to normal. She's due to come completely off antibiotics in

Brittney had a couple of doctors appointments on yesterday. We learned that her blood levels are looking great and she is infection free! The doctors want to keep her on antibiotics for two more months in hopes that her levels remain normal before taking her off with assurance. She's also in the process of being weened from monthly blood pheresis/exchange. One of the side affects to that is iron overload of which she is currently being treated for. As the monthly exchange is reduced, her iron levels should begin to return to normal and she'll be taken off that medication as well. In addition to this, she is eating more and has an appointment with her rehabilitation doctors on Thursday to discuss new rehab methods and eventually having her feeding tube removed as she's now able to eat on her own. She is still talking some, walking with assistance, smiling, and even laughing. She's more mobile than she's been and is doing great in school! Because she has shown so much

Brittney is doing great! She is still walking (with assistance), talking some, eating and even laughing! God is awesome and He continues every day to manifest healing in Brittney. She's still in school where she's receiving rehabilitation in speech therapy, physical therapy, and occupational therapy. We are going to get new pictures of Brittney and start a new Power Point presentation soon so that you will be able to see the process she has made thus far. Please continue to pray and stand in faith for complete healing manifestation for Brittney. -The Williams Family To leave a comment write BrittneyMonyse@ymail.com.

Today, mom and aunt attended Brittney's IEP at school with her teacher, class aids and therapists. They were all super happy and amazed at the progress Brittney has made in one month's time. One of our biggest concerns was that when school gets out next month, what would she do for the summer in her rehabilitation. Well, the team suggested that mom enrolls Brittney in the summer program where she will attend school two days a week and get additional therapy. They were all confident that Brittney will continue on her path to recovery in leaps and bounds. (This comes from a team of professionals who work with kids with all types of disabilities all the time.) We're overjoyed at the progress Brittney has made thus far, and we too are confident that she will continue to excel and go beyond all of our expectations. Over the last week, she started speaking in sentences again as well. "Hey, Brandon." "I'm so sleepy." "You better leave him alone."

Mom & Brittney

This month Brittney turned 19 years old on the 18th. She was visited by a couple of friends, and her Facebook page was overflowing with greetings. As you know, this was one of the best birthdays of Brittney's life as she made it through such a tumultuous year since turning 18. We're happy to report that in addition to turning 19 this month, she's also been standing and walking at home and at school (with assistance), working her legs and upper body more, PLUS her teacher told mom that when she danced with Brittney yesterday, Brittney danced with her by moving her head and shoulders. We can't begin to express enough how your prayers and your faith have blessed our lives and pushed our family (especially Brittney) through this difficult time. We thank God for each of you! Please continue to stand in faith with us for full recovery and full function of her limbs, that she become vocal and able to speak words on a consistent basis, and that her blood level continues to retu

"WOW! Every time I get the emails my heart jumps! What a wonderful GOD we serve... through him all things are possible! My prayers continue to flow up for Brittney and her recovery." "I pray for you constanclly and so do the teens at South Elyton Bapt. God bless you and may He continue to heal you." "I just wanted to stop in and say AMEN!! AMEN! AMEN!!! God is all knowing his strength continues to spread through us regardless of what physicians THINK, WE KNOW GOD IS ALMIGHTY!!!!!! Brittney is constantly in my prayers as well as the praying family who supports her and keeps her moving stead fast to what GOD has in store for her." "Brittney! What can I say? You continue to show me and others that there is nothing to hard for OUR God. I have faced so many challenges since this chapter of your life began. At times, I must admit they have seemed too much for me to bear. Then I see you....God's Word in flesh. You continue to remind me of God's promi

Brittney had a great first day of school yesterday. It started very emotional, however, when she got home she was bright-eyed and worn out. Yet, she seemed happy! This morning mom talked to the teacher who told her that Brittney has already changed their lives with her presence. They were listening to a Gospel CD of which the lyrics said, "God is lifting you up." At that very moment, the class aid was lifting Brittney up out of her wheelchair. The teacher immediately said to the aid that she was demonstrating what the Lord is doing in Brittney's life. Then she encouraged Brittney. Then immediately one of her classmates began dancing around the room. Brittney has also been communicating with her eyes since yesterday. They taught her to blink for "yes" ... so she's been blinking all night and all morning! As it's been said... THE BEST IS YET TO COME! She has not started rehabilitation yet. Currently she's going through evaluations before beginning her

As soon as her doctors approve her medications to the new school, Brittney will start at the Burkett Center this week. It's a school for people with developmental disabilities. Today, Brittney, mom and aunt visited the school and got a chance to meet the staff and take a tour of the school. Initially mom was nervous and very emotional but the staff quickly made her feel comfortable and at ease that Brittney would get the best of care. During the meeting with the staff, Brittney was very engaging. The very first thing the principal said to mom is, "We've seen miracles." This statement was very encouraging as we all know that Brittney is a miracle. As the therapist evaluated her in the meeting, Brittney responded with shaking and nodding her head, making certain noises and doing certain facial expressions as her way of communicating. One of mom's biggest concerns was that the therapist did not give up on helping Brittney regardless of the rate of progress she makes.

Brittney's blood exchange went great yesterday. She had an ultra sound today and she has one gall stone. It's not causing her and problems nor is her gall bladder inflamed. So the doctors will not do anything about it. So we're praying that God removes it on His own. She was supposed to have surgery to have a new g-tube (feeding tube) put in, but because she has little pain sensation the doctor opted to replace it in her room without surgery. That's going to take place minutes from now... so pray that she feels little to no discomfort. It a matter of taking one out and putting the other in. So she'll go home this afternoon. Thank you all so much for your prayer support. You are greatly appreciated! -The Williams Family P.S. Brittney starts her new school next week! We have an additional testimony to share about that coming soon. To leave a comment, write to BrittneyMonyse@ymail.com.

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

For the past couple of weeks we've seen Brittney's personality unfold before our very eyes. Some of her mannerisms have returned and she's been looking more like "herself" than ever before. In addition to this, she's been moving her limbs more and sometimes making motions with her legs as if she's running. Mom often tells her to "pick up your bed and walk" and with that, we saw this come to pass today. With the help of mom and big brother, Brittney walked across the room. This was her very first steps in seven months. Their intention was just to stand her on her feet to help her feel what it's like to stand on her feet, but as soon as she stood up, she began to take steps. We are all rejoicing as we know that this is only the beginning. As auntie always say, "If she can do it once, that means she can do it again." We are looking forward to more of what God manifests in moments, days, and weeks to come! If you're believing God fo

We continue to lift Brittney and her family in prayer. We are praying diligently for strength and use of her legs and arms. We go before the Lord and ask the infection totally and finally be removed from her system. This is God's temple and we shout in agreement that this infection should not dwell within her. We pray that Brittney feel the Holy Spirit surround her with peace and joy. We pray for her family too... let them know dear Lord we are relentless in praying healing over Brittney. We praise you God for continuing to knit those beautiful brain cells together. We Praise you for the progress that we have heard and seen. Brittney is your testimony and witness to prayer and healing. We continue to thank and praise you! -Heidi M.

It's been a while since our last post, but we want you to know that Brittney is well. Each day she does something new and different as a sign from God that He's manifesting healing in her body each day. Whether it's a word, a movement or just a look in her eyes. Right now she's no longer speaking in complete sentences, yet she calls the names of family members, "Ma, Tee, Erin, Brandon and D." She's moving her limbs with ease (especially her right arm with was the arm that had the most infection). She still receives antibiotics three times a day via IV. Her monthly hospital visits for blood transfusions have been reduced from a 2-3 day visit to now only one day for a few hours. We're expecting great results with her next visit with infectious disease doctors and hopefully, the infection is all gone and they'll stop the antibiotics altogether. Right now, she's no longer in rehabilitation. However, we're expecting to find a therapist soon that
