Just love these, seeing how far she's come. Lovely girl :)
ReplyDeleteYou certainly have a beautiful, happy little girl. A lovely addition to your little family. X
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures. I notice in the beginning that Brenna's face had the thick skin on it. Did they need to wait a certain amount of time before they started to exfoliate it off? She is a very lucky little girl to have you two for parents, and you two are lucky to have such a sweet little girl who will change the world.

ReplyDeleteHaving seen your daughter and her best friend yesterday (11/10) at the Lincoln Museum touched my heart. You are truly gifted parents and Brenna is a precious gift from God. Please do pray to Sr. Maria Troncotti for this miracle of a cure for her. Sr. Maria will be beatified on Nov. 24, 2012 and she is one of our Sisters - Salesian Sisters of St. John Bosco. We will pray for you and hope you can keep in touch. Your have my personal email.

ReplyDeleteI have a special place in my heart for Brenna! I have followed your little sweetie from her birth, and look forward to your posts (and pictures and videos!) She is adorable and I love her spunky personality!
ReplyDeleteOur baby has ichthyosis. It is believed to be congenital however the genetic testing has not finalized the type. Being naked on burn pads as an infant brings back memories. The g tube . So many similarities. in you pictures at two days old bring back memories of him at five months old. He is now four. And his spirit shines. He is funny and silly hearing impaired cute and and getting to be quite the little stinker. Also beating the odds and flourishing . He now can sign and speak and dance and play and do so much.and the neurologists expected very little and he has proven so many wrong .the neurologist said he didn't want to put any limitations on our expectations and said just keep doing what your doing. Which is believing. Loving . Being grateful . Being thankful for both our boys and the joy they bring to each other and us and our families.may your journey continue to be miraculous and beautiful.

ReplyDeleteThankyou for the kind unconditional hearts that you love that little girl so strongly with! This is what he meant when he said, "be Christ like". True unconditional love..WOW!
