2010 Scripture of Faith for Brittney

"Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:" Philippians 1:6

Relevant Sentences

Just want to let you all know that Brittney has been doing great! We recently noticed a difference in her brain activity and it has her up at night talking more than she has before. Not only that, but now she manages to get relevant sentences out...

When aunt helped give her medicine, she said, "Thank you for helping me."

When mom went into the laundry room, she asked, "Where are you going?"

When mom was holding a baby cousin, she asked, "Is that your baby?"

When mom said good night, she said, "Sweet dreams."

In addition to this, she is also moving her limbs more and was able to sit up on the side of the bed this past Sunday for over 30 minutes without assistance. She's also helping move her body for diaper changes.

From a medical perspective, although she's a long way from where she once was, her blood count is still lower than it needs to be.

Prayer focus: Consistency in behavior and speech patterns (ability to speak and say more). Her blood continues to return to normal and infection free.

Great Numbers

Brittney is great! Aware, present, talking some and being as beautiful as ever! The doctors are really pleased with her blood count and the numbers as it related to the infection in her body. Where they once said it would be several months before they take her off antibiotics, now they're saying it's a matter of weeks instead. God is continuing to manifest healing in Brittney every day. It's great to be a witness!

Last week she had a rehabilitation evaluation. She did really great in physical therapy, so much so that she was exhausted for occupational therapy.

That appointment was an assessment. The therapists and the doctors will meet to determine if they will continue to work with Brittney on a weekly basis or just whenever she does something new. Although we feel that Brittney needs rehab every week right now, we're praying that they don't drop her altogether.

Thank you all for your continued prayer support.

All Went Well

Brittney blood transfusions and her surgical procedures went well. She's still in the hospital tonight for observations and will come home tomorrow (Wednesday), just in time for Thanksgiving! Tonight she's talking and calling for her sister, "Erin." Besides that, she's great!

Please continue to pray for complete health, healing and restoration in the name of Jesus for Brittney. We sincerely thank each of you for your continued prayer support.

3-Day Hospital Stay

Brittney will be admitted into the hospital this morning for her monthly blood transfusion. While there, she's going to have a double surgical procedure on tomorrow. She will have a double-port implanted that will make the monthly transfusions easier, plus she'll also have a liver biopsy. She doctor assured mom that she'd be home on Wednesday.

This week we're praying that Brittney has a very smooth transition to and from the hospital (by ambulance), that the transfusion will flow and her body responds as needed, and also that her surgical procedures go well. We're also praying for quick healing and recovery and reduced soreness or discomfort.

While at the hospital, she'll also have a rehabilitation evaluation. Brittney needs to show them that she's present and able to do more than what they've been seeing in previous sessions in order for them to keep her on a weekly schedule. Please pray that she'll go over and beyond their expectations in order that she may continue her out patient rehabilitation care.

On another note, in her talking time over the weekend, Brittney said the following... "Jesus" and "go devil." God is so amazing!

Again, we'd like to thank you for your prayers and agreement. Brittney is continuing to improve daily. We know that she's going to "shock the world" and that she'll one day soon dance for the Lord in praises to Him and Him alone.

Updates & New Prayer Focus

Since our last post, Brittney has still been improving. On last Sunday, she did yet another new feat. She fed herself a popsicle. Auntie noticed that Brittney was putting a hand toy to her mouth to try to eat it, so we replaced the hand toy with a popsicle and she ate every bit of it.

This is one of many things Brittney has done and we're grateful to daily see the changes and improvements. We're praying that all of these new feats will be consistent for her and not just a "here and there" thing that she does.

Speaking of consistency, Brittney had stopped talking at one point and as of today she's making noise again trying to sound out words. We're praying that the words will begin to flow and that the talking remains consistent from here on out.

We understand that the brain takes a while to "heal itself" as we were told this numerous times by nurses and doctors. We realize that Brittney's brain health is in God's hands so we're looking forward to full manifestation as God continues to cause her body to line up with His Word.

Please continue to join us in prayer that all continues to improve with Brittney and that the improvements remain consistent.

-The Williams Family

P.S. Brittney will be hospitalized on Monday for her monthly blood transfusion and two surgery procedures. We'll post details in a new blog over the weekend with that prayer focus as well.

Brittney is Continuing to Progress

Although we have not made any recent posts. We just wanted to let you know that Brittney is continuing to improve daily.

She had a situation with her right shoulder last week, but when she went to the doctor he was pleased with the progress. As a matter of fact, everyone who saw Brittney last week at the hospital were so pleased with how she looks and the progression she's made thus far.

According to the doctors, her antibiotics are working and her medical numbers are "trending down" in the right direction. So, we're praying that they continue to trend and the infection completely leaves her body never to return.

We know that Brittney is already healed and it's only a matter of time before the full manifestation. Pastor Short Tee prophetically spoke to mommy this past Saturday and said that the Lord told him that daily Brittney will do something different as a sign that God is manifesting her healing.

We see that every day in Brittney. And get this... just moments after he spoke those words to mom, Brittney tried to stand to her feet when her brother helped get her out of the car. God is amazing!

Our prayer focus is for the infection to completely leave, that God will remove any pain or discomfort she may feel in her right shoulder/arm, that her brain continues to heal until she's totally restored, and continued manifestation of God's presence and healing in her life.
