I read of your family's ordeal through the Loving China's Children group. I'm sorry for the trial you and your family are enduring, but I'm thankful to hear Brea had a good day, was able to sit up for a little while and you can hold your sweet girl in your arms. We will be keeping your family in our prayers while you are separated during this time and for Brea that the Lord will heal her little body. Our daughter was an organ donor (she passed at 7) so while we don't understand where you are exactly we pray your family can enjoy many more years with your precious Brea through whatever means the Lord deems.

Praise God from Whom ALL blessings flow, praise Him all creatures here below, Praise Him above all ye heavenly hosts, Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
Praising God with you for each and every baby step Brea has made and continues to make. Mary, I loved the photos. It amazes me that thru this, Brea smiles and plays. Thank you, God, for that blessing!!
Continuing to pray for healing, and for God's hand to be on Brea and your whole family!! Keep holding onto your faith, Mary. You are a blessing to us all!!

I teach in a Christian school in Lakeland, FL, and my students and I are praying for your family and Brea every single day. We believe in the power of prayer, and we are just waiting on Him to bless your family with another miracle.
God be with you!

It's wonderful to hear that Brea had an opportunity to sit up a little in the chair today and play with some new toys. What a great change for her!
Praying for wisdom as you seek what to do re the mechanical heart. May God make is abundantly clear to you. You are so right and wise to seek His guidance each and every step of the way. He is with all of you.
Great to hear the family is together for a few days. What a treat!
I have placed a link to your website on the top of my blog and asked people to pray. I have a number of family and church family who read my blog and have begun to pray for precious Brea and your family.
Blessings, Catherine

Mary, it's been good to see you and to gather prayers on behalf of your family. I feel sorry for the person who did the "me" post because every culture has worshipped some "higher power," which should be a clue to anyone who's studied anthropology that there is Someone out there because all people have a hardwired need to worship. Through the *gift* of faith, we know that "higher power" and He is a divine person.
I am so glad the Holy Ghost can be with you even when your hubby can't! Remember a lot of folks here in Little Rock are rooting for Brea and waiting for you to make your practical needs known.
And how nice to have a kid who can sit up. Maybe someday my little treasure (Katherine) will be able to sit up and roll over too. God has done so much healing in her already! All the drugs and wonderful therapists couldn't do a thing UNLESS God gave the healing; He chooses to do it through them, but it's his miracle.

Know that the prayers of our family are for you and your family. I just wanted to say my little Katherine spent a few days in ACH-ICU and we looked upon the sharing of nurses as a good thing. It meant she was a little further out of the woods, although, I never had to go get the nurse. She came running when a monitor would go off. Sometimes we do have to fight for the best care possible for our precious babies. I am not too far away so if you need anything besides prayers, let me know. My Katherine is up there at ACH at least twice a week so it really would be no problem. With all our hearts and prayers, Lisa

Hi!
I just wanted to let you know that I am praying for Brea and Brooke and so are many others from a Christian forum that I am a part of.
Your sister in Christ, Melanie H.
P.S. I found out about Brea from Mrs. (Karen) Williams blog (fromuswithlove). I am pen-pals with her daughter Kristin. =-) Just thought I'd let you know!
