    I am so happy to hear all went well. I like the idea of keeping each other informed about what is coming up with us and also how we are doing after. It helps me to see how strong and resilient all of you are.

    Brittany worked hard to keep us all in touch and informed. she was a friend to everybody, now is our time to show support and Appreciation for this little girl who is going through the greatest Challange in her life. No matter your Religious beliefs, or who is your God or higher power, a spiritual offer would only help her, not hurt her, lets all offer up a little prayer tonight when we go to bed for Dear Brittany, that she has complete success and comes home in great condition so she can have a great life going forward.

    I know as soon as she is feeling well enough Brittany will be on and reading all of these caring messages. What I have heard is that she is doing doing very well during her recovery. She is enjoying being able to eat again, is in good spirits and has already doing some light physical therapy. Thank you Ronald, @texas2018 for your caring messages. I know I have definitely been keeping Brittany in my thoughts and prayers! She will be greatly touched by all of the support. Have a nice weekend everyone!

    I want Brittany to know that I continue to Pray for her until she is home and on her way to being the woman she always was destined to be. She is an inspiration to all of us, what she did is life-altering, but it takes Courage for her to march in there with the determination she possesses. God Bless and Keep this little Warrior.

    She is now an Honorary Member of the United States Marine Corps, she went into battle and completed her mission.

    I haven’t been on here in a little while. Apparently I missed something. From the sound of everyones
    comments I’m assuming Brittany had a transplant. While I’m not a religious person. I will be praying for her
    full & speedy recovery.Hang in there Brittany. We all love you & are praying for you.

    Dear Brittany, I appreciate your short but recent Post. I was going to write daily but knew you were not going to be able to read all of them. We all missed you and your literary Genius in welcoming the newcomers and calming us down when our minds been playing tricks on us. Did you notice that you are an Honorary Member of THE UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS, YOUR CERTIFICATE WILL BE AVAILABLE TO MAIL SHORTLY. I am so happy you’re better, having had two open Heart Surgeries I know the Pain, especially the first week. It’s Rough. God Bless you and get well soon. Keep Eating!!!!!!!

      Thank you so much, Ron. I really appreciate all the kindness that has been shown to me, especially these past few months and weeks especially. I have been eating some more luckily! There was a few days when I had to just stick to clears and foods that were really soft because getting used to the new positions and actual working esophagus is harder than you can imagine. One foot in front of the other I guess is all I can do right now , especially while recovering from something so traumatic on the body and mind.
