That's just such GREAT NEWS Jay!!!!!

I can well imagine your feeling on that! The Progress Continues and that is just so great to hear. Thanks for the update, makes MY day!

Thanks for the update Jay. Mental exercise and learning have to help the mind and body just like physical exercising, which I unfortunately don't do very much of.
Best wishes for continued progress!

I'm very glad to read through this thread since joining only recently and see how much progress has occurred with Bre, she'll remain in my prayers

Glad she's coming along well!

Fantastic news Jay, It's been a long road but it has to be great to see her smile.
Still here for you all Jay.

Jay, what Sam said +1!

We DO get a bit impatient when it comes to the healing process, but ANY kind of progress is good and helps keep the hope factor up.

Still Praying here too Jay!

Man, I am TOTALLY slipping!

I sure was meaning to keep this one up close to the front and seems like I'm falling down on doing that!

Sure hope things are still going well for Bre and family, still got the Prayers coming!

Don't beat yourself up Bill! It may not be the highest thread on the pages but it is definitely one of the most important. Bre is never far from my thoughts (and I am sure most of you all as well).

any updates Jay? we were talking about bre this afternoon when some folks from church were over.

My thoughts are with you and your daughter mate, Breanna deserves a better shake of the dice than this, hope her improvement continues.
I've got two grown up children and like any father I'd do anything for them.....Hush.

Hi Guys, Sorry no updates lately, there's just not much to report. Bre had some surgery on her feet and legs a few weeks ago, that has really hindered therapies. Soon she will be able to get into the swing of things again. We are still trying hard, keeping the faith and doing everything in our power. We'll never give up, but after almost 9 months, man this is getting tiring. To me, one of the hardest parts of this whole ordeal is the not knowing, not knowing when or if she will get better, how much better she will get, etc etc etc....... Sorry, I guess I'm crying in my beer a bit. Again, I want you to know how much your support means.

Hang in there Jay.

It CAN be a very tiring time that seems like forever. I can tell you from my own experience. From the 1st seizures that our Daughter Karla had, starting at about 11months old until she had brain surgery at the age of 18yrs old, we thought that she would never be able to have ANY sort of a "normal" life. There is no telling just exactly how many seizures that she had over all that time. I DO remember that there were some weeks that she might have as many as 60 or more and we really had no idea if there would ever be a day that we could relax and not be concerned about then the next one would come and then, after (at least) 10yrs of those seizures, we were told that, during a seizure, if the brain didn't get enough blood flow that brain sells would die and I can tell you that that scared us to death. Now, here we are,she had had the surgery, and she might not be classified as "normal", but she IS able to have somewhat a life of her own. She went toxic on Tegretol in the 11th grade and we were told that her electrolyte levels in her brain, dropped and she could have gone to sleep and not woke up.

I can tell you that when my Wife and I look back at those times, we are so thankful for having gotten through those times. Yes, the "Not knowing when, where how much and such" is definitely trying. $:-\$

I feel SO MUCH for Bre, Kirstina and you for having this to deal with. If only I could take (at least) SOME of this load for you all.

azuredesign · « **Reply #337 on:** March 03, 2009, 04:38:03 AM »

Please don't lose faith Jay. Progress is usually slow and hard fought, but I think one has to keep on fighting.
There's a lot of us here concerned and rooting for Bre's recovery. I know there'll be more positive reports to share in the future.
All best brother!
Ben

HondaMan · « **Reply #338 on:** March 03, 2009, 05:34:49 AM »

The hardest part is in wishing there was more you could do (personal experience, there...).
God is good, Jay, and knows His stuff! Keep with Him: He'll tell you what to do next (more experience, there...).

Lifting you guys up.

I don't think any of us see it as that. Everyone is pulling for you and your family.

my78k · « **Reply #340 on:** March 03, 2009, 06:23:41 AM »

Exactly right Bob...and even if you are Jay you are entitled to let it out man. Crying is cathartic. But just don't let it take hold of you for too long as you will need to be strong for Bre and the rest of the family. If you do need to vent that is exactly why we are all here..don't be afraid to lean on us.

Hey Jay,

It's great to hear from you. I'm sure hearing "be patient" is not fun at this point but more progress is coming. I am (as I'm sure others are) honored that you'd share with us as your brethren. We're with you man.

John from Indianer

hell JB I'd let ya cry in MY beer if it'd make you feel any better.

stay strong

Stormer · « **Reply #343 on:** March 06, 2009, 11:15:23 AM »

From a father who have some problems with his boys, and cried over some beers too,
keep strong Jay.
We all never know. It’s day after day, after day, after day…
Today they got better, tomorrow not so much, good news, not so good news, etc.
Just stay and organize YOUR life.
You HAVE to have an organized and GOOD life, no matter what’s going on.
They need it from you.
Keep us in touch.

noahspop · « **Reply #344 on:** March 06, 2009, 11:30:07 AM »

my thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.

HondaMan · « **Reply #345 on:** March 07, 2009, 07:54:07 AM »

Like Stormer said, Jay: my poor wife has Type I diabetes (35+ years), and since 1990 has undergone over 12 operations, twice as many hospital stays, and has far more bad days than good. All of her doctors know us on a name & face basis (last count: 18 doctors). For a while, I thought that the right thing to do was to spend all my energy in helping her: after some experience, it turns out she needs it the other way. As I'm getting stronger myself, she is also more hopeful (I had a cancer, too).

So, keep yourself together, then help her. That seems to be the stronger approach in the long term.

Just my 2 cents.

fuzzybutt · « **Reply #346 on:** March 11, 2009, 08:02:45 PM »

thought i'd bump this thread back up. folks at church were asking about bre, you and the family today

Sam Green Racing · « **Reply #347 on:** March 11, 2009, 09:44:52 PM »

Hi Fuzzy, a few days ago, Jay said Bre was doing OK but it's still slow going. No matter how slow, any improvement is a plus.

Your family is in our thoughts and prayers Jay.

Sam.

bill440cars · « **Reply #348 on:** March 12, 2009, 08:49:12 AM »

As always Jay, Prayers are flowing nonstop! Lots of folks here are keeping the prayers going and passing the word on to others. Keep the Faith Jay, as Sam and countless others have said (and I'm sure you and Kirstina know), any improvement is good news.

Wish I could do more, Bill

Jay B · « **Reply #349 on:** March 15, 2009, 07:40:33 PM »

I've been away for a few days guys. Took my wife for a couple of days snowmobiling before planting season starts. You just have to get away from it all once in a while. Like Sam said, it's slow but Bre is doing good. We bought a new car for Kirstina a month ago, she drives 140 miles a day, and I told Bre today if she can work hard enough to get her license and drive it she can have it, I'd buy Mom another. I got a big smile out of that. A little incentive never hurts.

Anyway, slow but sure, wish I could report more.
