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 this month, Brittney is scheduled for a two day hospital stay. On the 18th she will have her monthly blood transfusion/exchange, and on the 19th she will have surgery replacing her feeding tube for a new one. They surgery will only last a few minutes, but she'll have to be put to sleep. We're praying for complete success with both the blood exchange and the surgery.

Thank you for your continued prayers and support in faith. We are still, DAILY, seeing the healing power of God manifest in her life ... be it a look, a sound, a word... Brittney is daily showing us that God is yet alive and holds true to His promises of healing, health and long life!

Brittney Walked Today!

For the past couple of weeks we've seen Brittney's personality unfold before our very eyes. Some of her mannerisms have returned and she's been looking more like "herself" than ever before.

In addition to this, she's been moving her limbs more and sometimes making motions with her legs as if she's running. Mom often tells her to "pick up your bed and walk" and with that, we saw this come to pass today.

With the help of mom and big brother, Brittney walked across the room. This was her very first steps in seven months. Their intention was just to stand her on her feet to help her feel what it's like to stand on her feet, but as soon as she stood up, she began to take steps.

We are all rejoicing as we know that this is only the beginning. As auntie always say, "If she can do it once, that means she can do it again." We are looking forward to more of what God manifests in moments, days, and weeks to come!

If you're believing God for anything... hold fast to your faith. Don't give up on God 'cause He won't give up on you. Stay in faith and never let go of the promises.

Special Prayer for Brittney

We continue to lift Brittney and her family in prayer. We are praying diligently for strength and use of her legs and arms. We go before the Lord and ask the infection totally and finally be removed from her system. This is God's temple and we shout in agreement that this infection should not dwell within her. We pray that Brittney feel the Holy Spirit surround her with peace and joy. We pray for her family too... let them know dear Lord we are relentless in praying healing over Brittney. We praise you God for continuing to knit those beautiful brain cells together. We Praise you for the progress that we have heard and seen. Brittney is your testimony and witness to prayer and healing. We continue to thank and praise you!

Brittney is Well

It's been a while since our last post, but we want you to know that Brittney is well. Each day she does something new and different as a sign from God that He's manifesting healing in her body each day. Whether it's a word, a movement or just a look in her eyes.

Right now she's no longer speaking in complete sentences, yet she calls the names of family members, "Ma, Tee, Erin, Brandon and D." She's moving her limbs with ease (especially her right arm with was the arm that had the most infection).

She still receives antibiotics three times a day via IV. Her monthly hospital visits for blood transfusions have been reduced from a 2-3 day visit to now only one day for a few hours.

We're expecting great results with her next visit with infectious disease doctors and hopefully, the infection is all gone and they'll stop the antibiotics altogether.

Right now, she's no longer in rehabilitation. However, we're expecting to find a therapist soon that will be able to come to the home to help her with rehabilitation.

She's still very present and aware of her surroundings. And we rejoice for that!

What we're praying for:

Our biggest prayer request is that she can be mobile -- walking and doing more for herself. That will help in transporting her back and forth to doctors visits and to church.

We're praying that the infection is completely gone and never to return.

We're praying that God sends the professional help she needs to get to the next point in her healing process.

Thank you so much for your continued prayer support. One of her friends posted on her Facebook page that she had dreams of Brittney walking and talking. We know this will happen. Keep the faith with us. Keep strong and don't give up on God (because God Himself has not given up). Hallelujah!

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.
