Breanna’s Story

Site created on February 10, 2011

Welcome to Breanna's CaringBridge website. We've created it to keep friends and family updated about Breanna! As you know if your here visiting, Breanna is now 13yrs old and has Cystic Fibrosis, joint & muscle pain, major sinus issues having had 7 surgeries all ready. This is our journey. We found out when I was 12 weeks pregnant via Chronic Villa Sampling, and by day 3 she started taking her meds. We are learning to have faith in knowing God has a plan and regardless of what it maybe, good days and bad we know she will be in good hands! Bree is a girl who never wants any type of sickness to keep her from singing & dancing!

Good News!!!!

Bree was able to come home on Friday!!! She was so very thankful yet nerves at the same time not really having answers about her numb mouth(the complete roof of her mouth) and her feet which some how became hurt durning her "sinus surgery" to which no one has answers for. She is doing pretty good.  Shes enjoyed a nice relaxing weekend hanging with dad and enjoying being back in her own bed.
She is continuing to have headaches right now which is pretty normal while everything is healing, so she's enjoyed just taking it easy. 
She also went back to school today and loved how happy everyone was to see her, she missed her friends!!!

So after one whole week from surgery Bree has told me this evening she's starting to get SOME feeling back in her mouth!!!! She said it was odd like there was a pop feeling in her mouth and feeling started to return!! They said it could be weeks, months or possibly  perminent which clearly it looks that will NOT be the case. I didn't want her to worry or over think it so I vowed not to ask her about it and was just hoping her mind wouldn't be on it 24/7(even though she said it's been a non-stop worry). It's not 100% back but a lot better!!!!!!

I'm so happy to hear this. She's feeling confident now that the rest will be back to normal soon. Also her feet have since healed and she's walking around just fine, no problem with school today! 
Back to the ENT in 2 weeks.
As of Thursday Bree blew the highest pfts shes had in YEARS!!! Needles to say everyone is thrilled and she is going to work hard to keep it that way. Thank you everyone for the prayers. Hopefully this 8th surgery will be her last for a very long time!!!
Thanks for keeping up with us!
