New Updates & Prayer Requests

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 two weeks and we rejoice as it means she's now infection free!

Another prayer focus we have is 1) Mom is ready to return to work, so we're praying for favor as she's been diligent in sending resume's and seeking employment, and 2) Brittney's teacher was let go suddenly and without notice because she has not been teaching long enough to be permanent. All the student's parents have taken action and sent letters to the superintendent of the Board of Education requesting that they rehire Mrs. Foy. She is an excellent teacher who all the children respond so well to, and we'd hate to see her leave because of the impact she's made in just one year for most and only a couple of months for Brittney. So, we're praying also my Mrs. Foy finds favor and will be able to return to work this upcoming school year.

Thank you so much for your prayers and concerns.
