more aware the last few days
Britney has been more aware the last few days. When her Dad visited her a few days ago she was awake the whole time and he thought he saw a smile a few times when he was talking to her. My mom visited a few days later and was really excited because of the emotion on Britney's face when she was talking to her. She thought she saw a few smiles, and when she told her she had to leave Britney frowned. Even though progress is slow it is still progress. Even though we don't know her prognosis and can't even begin to really guess what it might be, we have strong peaceful feelings whenever we are afraid or doubt she will get better. I don't know what any of it means except to keep moving forward and showing her as much love as possible and giving her as much human contact as possible. Thank you for you continuing support and love.

What an encouragement! Sending love and prayers to you and all the families. Regards, Katherine
ReplyDeleteDear John, We are still keeping you all in our hearts and prayers...as always. Keep the faith as you have shown and taught me. From our family to yours we wish you all a happy Healthy New Year with only good things to come. With love and faith, Fredy and amy Toiber
ReplyDeleteThat is wonderful news, John! I have no doubt Britney has about a million things she wants to say to you and everyone around her and is just doing all she can to communicate those emotions. You have taught our family so much about faith and perseverance already. You should expect a package to arrive at your home in Arizona in the next week or so. We love you all!

I am looking at flights. When will you be back in Colorado? Is there a better time to come? Call me when you have a second. I think I will come for a long weekend.
ReplyDeleteHello my name is Kathryn. I am Marc Crosby's sister. I have been following your story and am inspired by your faith and your ability to move forward. Your kids are so beautiful and sweet. I will continue to pray for you all.
ReplyDeleteJohn,
ReplyDeleteI've never posted before but have been keeping track on this blog for the last 6 months with tears in my eyes. I just wanted to tell you that the incredible strength Brittany, you and your family continue to show is obviously teaching and blessing others. We just can't know the huge impact this very difficult experience is having on so many people. Keep hope, follow the spirit and know that He is God. Margie Kersey, Hidden Valley Ward
It was good to see you at church last week. We enjoy having you there, when you can make it. I love the picture of your darling little daughter in the hospital gown and gloves. Kids are so good at finding fun anywhere. You're always in my thoughts and prayers.

Hi John - Just wanted to check in and let you know that we think about you often. You and your family continue to inspire me and many of those around me who, also, continue to pray on your behalf. Love to you and wishes for a peaceful year.

John...hang it there! We are still thinking of you and Britney and the kids. Keep us updated!
ReplyDeleteHi John, This is Rachel Terry from the old Clement Park Ward. I was wondering if it would be okay if I went to see Britney at Kindred. I couldn't find your email address. Thanks
ReplyDeleteJohn, I saw Britney today. I visited for about an hour and she was alert most of the time I was there. She even seemed to smile and respond to me. You are all in our prayers. Thank you so much for calling me and letting me know what is happening. Please let me know if there is anything I can do.

Hi, John. I just wanted to let you know that I continue to lift you and your family up in prayer. I haven't seen any updates for a while, and hope and pray that there has been progress (on many fronts). I will be in the Denver area in late April/early May, and would love to pay Britney a visit. Kindest Regards, Katherine Coolidge
ReplyDeleteDear Winkler family/John,
ReplyDeleteWe've never commented before on your blog - but have kept updated on Britney since the very beginning.
I (Krystin) am the wife of Janna and Casey's bishop's son (Jay). But also a daughter of a member family of their ward (George & Loalyn Hellewell).
I just wanted to let you know that I continue to put all your names on the role at the SLC temple whenever I make a trip inside.
I hope February is going well for you all, and I look forward to more updates about Britney soon.
Love,
Krystin & Jay Christopherson
