Brianna and Grandpa Botts several weeks ago
Looking all pretty in my mom-designer hospital gown
Momma Kathy loves me....and I love her
We are home from the hospital. Met with the cardiologist today. Brianna's pulmonary hypertension is so severe that there is nothing more that can be done in her particular case. We have chosen comfort care at this time. Brianna will be on oxygen to help alleviate the tightness in her chest. Of course we don't know what God's plan is at this time but we do know that God has a plan for every single one of us and the amount of time we will be here on this earth. Faith. We must continue to have faith. As I have said before, we continue to be grateful to God for allowing us to be the caretakers of Brianna for this time. I think I can rightly boast that God must be proud of us for how well we have taken care of her because he has continued to allow her to bless our lives.

Sad to hear this news but rejoicing with you that Brianna is home. Love knows no bounds~thanks for updating us. Praying for you all.
ReplyDeleteBrenda,
ReplyDeleteYou and your family have been the best family that Brianna could ever have. You have been so wonderful to share your joys and struggles with everyone via your blog. It has been a pleasure to witness. I do not believe that true love can exist without sacrifice and indeed it has been a wonderful journey of love.
Thank you for the update and you will all be in our prayers at this time. You have done everything humanly possible and it is in God's hands now. Peace be with you.

my heart breaks with yours as you make these hard decisions, and journey this road....i am CERTAIN as well of God's hand over your hearts as He shows all of us His perfect and complete daughter Brianna and YOU and says to us all..."this is my beloved, of whom i am pleased." He is so pleased with you.
ReplyDeleteI have also longed for these words from my heavenly father...longed for them to come by way of His hands and feet here on earth. I pray i may be this to you all now.
Offering up my night, my tears, my prayers for Brianna and you. Thank you for the hope!!!
peace of Christ,

ReplyDeleteBrenda,
ReplyDeleteI have just gotten home from a weekend trip. Barb emailed me and I just read it and couldn't get to your blog quick enough. My computer is on the fritz so I am so afraid I will miss some information. I will call you this afternoon but don't want to burden you will more calls. Know that I am on my knees for sweet Brianna. Praying that if it be God's Will he will give her more days free of discomfort. Knowing she was so blessed to be in your family and that I am aching for your family and this new news.
please know that we will be thinking of your family and praying that brianna feels no discomfort. there are no words that can make this easier for your family, but know that you have a lot of people sending warm thoughts your way.
ReplyDeletebrianna is so lucky to have you as family. hoping the oxygen helps her breathing so she will have less distress and discomfort. may you find peace amidst this stressful time.
ReplyDeletePraying, praying, praying for your beautiful daughter and her wonderful family.

ReplyDeleteSince I read your update yesterday morning I have been trying to find the right words and I realize there are no right words - Brianna and your family are in my prayers and I am sending my love to you. Brianna knew what she was doing when she picked her family - so loving and caring. She is blessed beyond words.
Brenda,

ReplyDeleteMy heart breaks that your sweet angel is enduring any pain or discomfort whatsoever. I pray for you and your family.

As someone else said, there are no good words. So I simply say I am praying for all of you!
ReplyDeleteYou are in my heart, in my prayers, and my thoughts.
ReplyDeleteDear Brenda,
ReplyDeleteOh honey I don't know you but we are sisters in Christ and also because we are "special mom", my son 20 mos. old, Noah has Down syndrome. Your amazing blog on your beautiful princess angel has touched my heart incredibly. Even though I am so heartbroken and cannot wrap my mind around how you must be feeling, I know that the Lord is keeping you strong in his arms. It will all come full circle for greatness. You and your lovely family are in our prayers. Thank you so much for sharing your Brianna with us.
Love,
Jessika
