I have read your story from the beginning and I go to your site several times a day waiting to see if there is an update. Your faith is an inspiration and how you look at your encounters of certain people as messengers. The faith you have shown would make the unbelievers, BELIEVE. Brea is precious and is very lucky to have a family such as yours. May she continue to recover and have a long properous life!!

Mary,
This is Celia, Sydney's mommy from River. I just wanted to tell you that all of you are in our prayers. I have been following along for weeks to monitor Brea's progress. I have wanted to write so many times and for whatever reason I didn't. After reading your notes from today (April 5) the Holy Spirit told me to write. When I saw how you signed it from the Ronald McDonald House, I was moved. I remember being there, in Fort Worth Texas, while Sydney was getting her pace maker put in at Cook Children's Medical Center. She was also 22 months. I know what we went through is NOTHING compaired to what you're going through. But just know that I am thinking about you and will continue to pray for you, Brea, Danny, Brook, Baker, the doctors, nurses and the donor family. I noticed the ticker at the bottom of the website and it says that you have had some 11,000 something visitors. I was immediately struck at how God has already used Brea to reach all those people! May each lost soul come to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. We are truely witnessing Gods hand at work not only on Brea but in cities, towns, states and countries around the world. Stay strong, get lots of rest, because she is going to up and running soon, and know that we all are praying for you. Sisters in Christ Celia

Dear Mary - I've looked at these photos over and over today and just cannot get over how WONDERFUL Brea looks!! They bring tears to my eyes each time I see them. It's just amazing what less than a week with her new heart has done for her. Thank you Lord for Your awesome touch of Your hand into Brea's life!! It won't be long now until she's blazing around those halls in that red wagon and soon will be giving her little wave to everyone as she leaves ACH. OH I can't wait to hear those words for her and for your family. AND I CAN'T FORGET as I've been thinking about it all day since Kaylin shares the same day (the 5th) that Brea turned 22 mos today and Kaylin turned 23 mos today. WOOHOO!!! Hugs and Love, Anita, Mark, Kaylin and kids

Just wanted to let you know that I am praying for your precious girl! My husband and I have a special place in our hearts for Chinese-adopted girls (we are in process - saw your situation on a chinese adoption blog that someone posted for prayer support)...know that someone in IL is praying for you all - and YES! He still moves mountains! He will with your daughter, as He already has. Much love to all of you in this journey of faith and healing.

Its such a joy to see those wonderful pictures of Brea smiling. I'm awed by her resilience and her spirit - and by your family's tremendous faith. We'll continue to pray for Brea and her continued recovery.
