Today I was pretty lazy. I only had radiation today and some boring history homework stuff. Except for the homework it was a pretty good day. Father Rookey called me today and he prayed for me. He can heal people with prayer – even over the phone. I was supposed to go meet him in October but we had to come to St. Jude to start my treatments and medicine instead. It was really weird because when I got off the phone with him I was really hot. Mom said it’s called the burning and that the Holy Spirit passed through my body. Sounds pretty weird to me. Yesterday I got an autographed photo and swim cap from my idol, Dara Torres. She has won 5 Olympic medals. That was so cool! My parents told me that I am going to have a bunch of visitors for the next week or so that will be fun.
Love, Bree
Note from the parents:
Can you believe we only had 1 appointment today? (Her radiation treatment) We were able to be lazy all morning and Brianna worked on some homework..."boring history stuff."
Yesterday Brianna received an autographed photo and signed swim cap from 5 time Olympic swimmer Dara Torres. Very exciting!
This morning Brianna received a phone call from Fr.Rookey out of Olympia Fields, IL. He is known for his Compassion Ministry and his ability to heal. We had an appointment to meet him and attend a healing mass at the end of October, but had to cancel due to the trip to St. Jude. However, he does offer prayers via phone conferences and he prayed for Brianna. Immediately after hanging up Brianna complained of feeling hot. Those of you that may be of strong Catholic faith might know that the sensation she felt is called, "the burning."(Her stepdad also experienced when Fr. Rookey prayed with him) It was the Holy Spirit entering/passing through Brianna. A couple of minutes later I asked Brianna if she was feeling warm/hot and she said no. Brianna has received an amazing gift/blessing. We look forward to meeting Fr. Rookey when we return home sometime in December.
This weekend and all through next week Brianna will have plenty of visitors. Grandpa Rick, Aunt Faith, Grandma Pat, Grandma & Grandpa Siemann, Bob & Kaitlyn. With all different family members visiting we hope for a light appointment week and the opportunity to get out and experience Memphis.
Thank you for your continued support and all of your love and prayers. We are truly blessed!
Love,
Bree's Parents
