Gimme a Kiss & a Smile!

The past couple of days have been great for Brittney. She has been off the ventilator during the day, breathing on her own. She's not been sleeping much, but she's been doing great with her tracheostomy.

BIGGER NEWS!!!

Brittney puckered up ... a kiss for mom and a kiss for dad! More than that, she SMILED! Yes, that's right... SHE SMILED! Just last week the doctor told us "at best we would be hopeful to even get a smile."

Whose report will you believe? We believe the report of the Lord that Brittney is healed, healthy & whole! We're continuing to pray for health progression ... healthy brain function, healthy heart, lungs and kidneys.

We're rejoicing in the Lord! Progression (no matter how big or small) is the key to victory!

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

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
