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 improvement since being in school, she'll be enrolled in a summer program where she will receive rehabilitation twice a week over the summer holiday.
We're very proud of the miracle the Lord manifests in her body each and every day. Our current prayer is that the medical plans continue to move in the right direction and she'll be taken off the medicine as expected with no issues. Also, we are believing God that her speech will be more fluent, frequent and spoken with clear understanding. Our desire is to have normal communications with her on all levels. We know that God is able, willing and He wants to do it just for Brittney... so we're standing in faith awaiting the manifestation.
Thank you so much for your continued prayer support. We are blessed because of your prayers and your faith.
