Brittney’s Seizure - Urgent Prayers Please! - 11/5/24

 Brittney’s Seizure - Urgent Prayers Please! - 11/5/24

 

On our way home from Florida we stopped at a Buccee’s in Athens, Alabama where Brittney started feeling strange and unwell. Soon Brittney started to experience a serious 5+ minute seizure (went unconscious, eyes rolled back, shaking, foaming at the mouth).  At one point Brittney stopped breathing for about 30 seconds and turned purple, but I was able to give her rescue breaths and she was able to start breathing again. Scary.

After the seizure, Brittney was confused for another 15 minutes but then stabilized. The staff at Buc-ee’s (Athens, AL), bystanders, firefighters, EMTs, and hospital staff have been amazing.   

More than anything we are so grateful to God for protecting Brittney’s life today.

 

Ways to pray:

◦       No more seizures for Brittney

◦       Wisdom for the doctors and all the necessary testing and next steps

◦       Safe travel home whenever we get released

◦       For our girls to recover from the trauma of what they witnessed

 

Psalm 91:1-2 “He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. [2] I will say to the LORD, ‘My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.’”

11/5/24 EVENING

UPDATE: Thank you for your prayers for Brittney, the Lord answered! Thankfully she is alive with no permanent damage. The Alabama ER Dr talked to Brittney’s neuro care team in Louisville and we were discharged. We decided to spend the night locally and plan on returning home in the morning. Please pray for her continued protection.  

 

God is always good!

 

Ecclesiastes 7:14 “In the day of prosperity be joyful, and in the day of adversity consider: God has made the one as well as the other, so that man may not find out anything that will be after him.”

 

11/6/24 

Prayers are appreciated for safe travels home!

11/7/24

After a full day of good rest, this beauty is excited to be back doing what she loves, teaching! We are grateful to Jesus for another day of life! Thank you so much for your continued prayers and sweet loving words 

 Ways to pray:

- good strength, endurance, and mental focus thru the day

- all the necessary testing & medicines to protect Brittney from any further brain or neck artery issues 

- for all of us as we heal from the trauma of Wednesday 

Colossians 3:23-24 “Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, [24] knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ.”

 

 

 

 

 

2/8/24 - Back at the Cleveland Clinic: A Video Update from Brittney!

It has been awhile since we have shared some updates, but here is a video update from Brittney!

Some of Brittney's highlights:

• Regained her lost vision (previously couldn’t see some to the right)!
• Cleared by speech, physical, and occupational therapy
• Cleared by her vascular neurosurgeons to go back to teaching
• Cleared of autoimmune concerns
• Given a plan by neurology to address her headaches & migraines
• Still seeing hematology with bruising, bleeding, and iron concerns
• Still has some occasional problems with fatigue, brain fog, and forgetfulness
• Still has numbness in her right hand that God uses as a reminder of His mercy and grace
• Still seeing neurosurgeons and vascular surgeons for long term monitoring of her fibromuscular dysplasia  (FMD)
• Headed back to teaching Monday (on her 2-month stroke-versary)

We are so grateful to God for His protection and healing! We are so thankful for all of your love, encouragement and prayers!

Colossians 3:17 “And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.” (ESV)

The Lord answered your prayers in awesome ways today during our visit to the Cerebrovascular Clinic at the Cleveland Clinic. God is so cool! Can’t wait to share more

Now we drive home to see our girlies asap - will you pray for our safe travels? And for Brittney’s nerves with my driving?

1 Corinthians 1:7-9 “our Lord Jesus Christ, who will sustain you to the end…God is faithful”

She’s fine. I’m fine. We’re fine.

Grateful - 12/31/23

Grateful - 12/31/23

We’ve been home a few days (since Thursday), and we have thoroughly enjoyed being together as a family with our girls.

Every day Brittney seems to progress a bit more with her stroke recovery.  We  are so thankful to God for every step forward

Continuing Prayers - Here are our Top 3 Requests:

- Brittney’s peace - every change that she feels (fatigue, weakness numbness, tingling, headaches, brain fog, nausea, etc) leads her towards anxiety of a new stroke - pray for God to help her to trust Him and to fight the many fears that come her way.  Pray for wisdom as to when the symptoms show that we need to head to the ER.

- Brittney’s healing - Brittney’s goal and prayer is to be back teaching by the end of January.  She is working as hard as she can to do the therapy she needs to improve.  Ultimately she needs the Lord’s hand to get the energy and abilities (vision, reading, writing, & math especially) to be back in the classroom ASAP.

- Brittney’s protection - Although Brittney is home we still don’t have firm answers as to why she has had the arterial problems (tearing, blockages, & pseudo-aneurysms) and brain bleed stroke. We are blessed with an appointment on Friday with the director of the Cleveland Clinic’s Cerebrovascular Center. Please pray that we can travel safely to this appointment and find answers about Brittney’s serious condition. We treasure your prayers for a miraculous healing and for His soveriegn protection from further blood clots, brain bleeds, and arterial problems.

Thank you for your prayers this past month for my amazing, God-fearing wifey.  We are so grateful to Jesus that He has allowed Brittney to survive her problems and recover as much as she has.  Every day is a gift from the Lord!

Proverbs 31:30 “a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised”

Brittney’s CT & ultrasound went well today and OT (occupational therapy) signed off on her out-patient rehab as well.  She’s been working hard on crossword and seek-find puzzles.  She got a lot of walking in and enjoyed some great conversations with a sweet friend.  She working hard and we are continuing to pray for a smooth finish at U of L and an easy transition home.  Since she can’t text/write much yet, she wanted to send a video thank you for all of your love, cards, and encouragement!

3 John 2 “Beloved, I pray that all may go well with you and that you may be in good health, as it goes well with your soul.” (ESV)
