Brittney's New School

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.

Hospital Stay Update

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.

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
