Team Brenna

I am SO encouraged by the condition of Brenna's skin and how much it has improved day by day!

From this, on December 24...


To this, just three days later, December 27...
The thick, tight layer is peeling off more and more, allowing her to move and breathe much more easily! (The "helmet" around her head is the oxygen she is getting).

Brenna and I had some much-needed girl time tonight. I spent about two hours with her, and we chatted and I sang her some songs. "You Are My Sunshine" was a definite favorite.

At one point, I told her: "Girl...you have so many people praying for you and thinking about you, you wouldn't even believe it. You definitely have your own fan club, your own cheering section. Everyone is on Team Brenna!"

  5. My mother-in-law lives in Olney, IL and heard about your daughter through a friend of hers who I belive is a friend of you or your family some how. I also have a baby with a very rare skin disorder and would love to email you (like you have the extra time) and share some things with you if you don't mind. You can either email me at heatherandchuck@sbcglobal.net or find me on facebook at Heather Hogg Curtis. Sending prayers your way that your baby girl continues on her path of improvement.
