On Thursday the 27th of August Jayci got the breathing tube removed and a tracheotomy put in her neck. The Trach enables her to breathe and allows her to speak after healing. Everyday she is improving, it's amazing. She's been very happy lately, constantly smiling. She's almost off all of her medication. We want to thank everyone for their prayers and good wishes! Please keep sending them.
Hi Jayci: I am praying for you every morning and so is our church family constantly praying for you. We love you and your family lots and know that God is a God of miracles and we believe He is doing one for you....
each day you will get stronger and i am praying for you and your family. never give up hope as miracles happen every day/ keep your chin up girl you are strong willed and i know will never give up. take care for now.
Jayci is ready to be moved to a rehabilitation facility which is great news. Unfortunately there are no facilities in Saskatchewan that will take patients on ventilaters so there are two options. stay at the hospital and rehab will come there or Jayci goes to a centre in Vancouver. They are just waiting to hear what will be best for Jayci. Hopefully we will hear something today and will post an update.
the Lord is my shepherd,i shall not want,he makes me lie down in green patures,he leads me beside quiet waters,he restores my soul,he guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake,even though i walk through the valley of the shadow of death,i will fear no evil,for you are with me,your rod and your staff,they comfort me,you prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies,you anoint my head with oil,my cup overflows,surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life,and i will dwell in the house of the Lord forever,amen

This blog is dedicated to Jayci Wittmier. We are using this blog to keep her friends up to date on all her progress.
Jayci Wittmier, 17 years old. Jayci is an exceptional athlete, student and a great friend to many. She has an amazing spirit and is a joy to be around. On August 10,2009, her 16th birthday, Jayci was a passenger in a terrible car accident. She cracked her C2,3,4 & 6 vertabrae in her neck and broke her C5. Swift Current hospital arranged to have her moved to Saskatoon via air ambulance. She arrived at the Royal University Hospital in Saskatoon, transferred to City Hospital in late Sept. for rehab and was discharged in late February, 2010. She is classified as a C4-5 complete spinal cord injury. Jayci is currently completing her grade 12 year and will accomplish one of her goals of graduating in June, 2011, along with her class. She is also working on another goal, which is to walk again, with her training at Project Walk in Carlsbad, CA and at First Steps in Regina, SK. Jayci's family is asking for you to pray for Jayci's full recovery. BELIEVE!
On Thursday the 27th of August Jayci got the breathing tube removed and a tracheotomy put in her neck. The Trach enables her to breathe and allows her to speak after healing. Everyday she is improving, it's amazing. She's been very happy lately, constantly smiling. She's almost off all of her medication. We want to thank everyone for their prayers and good wishes! Please keep sending them.
