A Frustrated Brittney...

The emotion of frustration... although we don't want to see her frustrated, we rejoice that she's emotional. Again, she's going against the odds even in that as the doctors told us that she would never show emotions. We're thanking God that we chose not to believe the report of man, but we believe the report of the Lord!

Now on to why Brittney was frustrated... she's trying to TALK (yes... she's trying to talk) but unable to be heard because of her tracheostomy. The respiratory therapist told mom that Brittney's voice box is temporarily disconnected because of the trach, but she will be able to talk when it's removed.

She was able to get four hours of sleep last night, and we're rejoicing in that as well. Today she'll be visited by the optometrists to examine her vision to see if it suffered any damaged. Although her eyes respond to light and darkness properly, she has a hard time focusing in on us when we talk to her. We're praying that she can see.

We realize that Brittney is a miracle child as a result of God's faithfulness and the prayers of people like you from all over the world. There are people of faith from all across America praying, as well as Canada, Africa, Germany & beyond. We're excited to see God do it, and it is to Him and Him alone that we give all the glory!

Please continue to join us in prayer for Brittney's complete healing, health and wholeness. Her lungs need to continue to be strengthened, heart health, brain function continues to heal, she needs more movement in her body, and all her organs (eyes included) to line up with the Word of God and function in the perfection that God created them to function.

Be blessed!

    Some emotions we would rather not see, but they all serve a purpose in us. Saturday, I was reminded of when Job faced his trials. Each time something happened, God always spared a witness to come back and tell the story. As it is when we face trials...many do not survive, but there are a few that God allows to be able to come back from the experience...and tell the story.

    Brittany is already trying to tell her's. "I made it!"...to the world that is watching.

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

Eight Days & Counting...

Today is day 8 of Brittney being in ICU at Children's Hospital. It has been an emotional and spiritual journey for Brittney, her mom, siblings and family. We are thanking God daily for progress. Some days are slow, some days we've had setbacks, but in God we have remained faithful and hopeful of God's promises of healing for Brittney. Yesterday we learned that Brittney has two spots on her hips that may be the cause of the infection that tried to destroy her body. Right now as we type this, the doctors are drawing fluid from the spots on her hips to test for infection. If the test is positive, they will operate to remove the infection. We are pleased that her lungs and respiratory seems to be improving. Our pray focus is that her Peep Respiratory number goes down to 10. This will mean that her airways will start contracting better so that she will be able to breath on her own when they remove the ventilator. She is still in an induced coma and paralysis. So as of our knowle
