Brittney Laughing

Great News!

Brittney had a couple of doctors appointments on yesterday. We learned that her blood levels are looking great and she is infection free! The doctors want to keep her on antibiotics for two more months in hopes that her levels remain normal before taking her off with assurance. She's also in the process of being weened from monthly blood pheresis/exchange. One of the side affects to that is iron overload of which she is currently being treated for. As the monthly exchange is reduced, her iron levels should begin to return to normal and she'll be taken off that medication as well.

In addition to this, she is eating more and has an appointment with her rehabilitation doctors on Thursday to discuss new rehab methods and eventually having her feeding tube removed as she's now able to eat on her own.

She is still talking some, walking with assistance, smiling, and even laughing. She's more mobile than she's been and is doing great in school! Because she has shown so much improvement since being in school, she'll be enrolled in a summer program where she will receive rehabilitation twice a week over the summer holiday.

We're very proud of the miracle the Lord manifests in her body each and every day. Our current prayer is that the medical plans continue to move in the right direction and she'll be taken off the medicine as expected with no issues. Also, we are believing God that her speech will be more fluent, frequent and spoken with clear understanding. Our desire is to have normal communications with her on all levels. We know that God is able, willing and He wants to do it just for Brittney... so we're standing in faith awaiting the manifestation.

Thank you so much for your continued prayer support. We are blessed because of your prayers and your faith.

All is Well

Brittney is doing great! She is still walking (with assistance), talking some, eating and even laughing! God is awesome and He continues every day to manifest healing in Brittney.

She's still in school where she's receiving rehabilitation in speech therapy, physical therapy, and occupational therapy.

We are going to get new pictures of Brittney and start a new Power Point presentation soon so that you will be able to see the process she has made thus far.

Please continue to pray and stand in faith for complete healing manifestation for Brittney.

School IEP Today

Today, mom and aunt attended Brittney's IEP at school with her teacher, class aids and therapists. They were all super happy and amazed at the progress Brittney has made in one month's time.

One of our biggest concerns was that when school gets out next month, what would she do for the summer in her rehabilitation. Well, the team suggested that mom enrolls Brittney in the summer program where she will attend school two days a week and get additional therapy.

They were all confident that Brittney will continue on her path to recovery in leaps and bounds. (This comes from a team of professionals who work with kids with all types of disabilities all the time.)

We're overjoyed at the progress Brittney has made thus far, and we too are confident that she will continue to excel and go beyond all of our expectations.

Over the last week, she started speaking in sentences again as well. "Hey, Brandon." "I'm so sleepy." "You better leave him alone." ... and much more and all relevant. She's also started eating again... only snacks here and there.

One of the things we're most proud of is that the Lord has surrounded Brittney with people of faith at school. And also people who are aggressive in her rehabilitation. We learned a long time ago that passivity is not the way to go with Brittney in her recuperation. She needs stern guidance and direction during this time. So, we are pleased.

Our prayer focus is that Brittney continues to go over and beyond all expectations in walking, talking and in the goals that were set in her IEP today. We're confident that she will do well.

Thank you for your continued prayer support.

March Manifestations for Brittney

This month Brittney turned 19 years old on the 18th. She was visited by a couple of friends, and her Facebook page was overflowing with greetings. As you know, this was one of the best birthdays of Brittney's life as she made it through such a tumultuous year since turning 18.

We're happy to report that in addition to turning 19 this month, she's also been standing and walking at home and at school (with assistance), working her legs and upper body more, PLUS her teacher told mom that when she danced with Brittney yesterday, Brittney danced with her by moving her head and shoulders.

We can't begin to express enough how your prayers and your faith have blessed our lives and pushed our family (especially Brittney) through this difficult time. We thank God for each of you!

Please continue to stand in faith with us for full recovery and full function of her limbs, that she become vocal and able to speak words on a consistent basis, and that her blood level continues to return to normal.

As we continue to pray and stand in faith together, we will continue to do all that's within our realm of assistance to make sure that Brittney has the necessary support and encouragement she needs. Afterall, faith without works is dead. We're promising to continue to work on her behalf until we see full manifestation of healing in her body.
