Marie knows the power of prayer and is asking for prayers for her loved one.
“Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.” Mark 11:24 (ESV)

Continued Updates Provide Hope
“Each day we have a choice on how to live our lives. We can choose to simply go through the motions of life, checking boxes from tooth-brushing to taxes—24 hours, followed by 24 hours, followed by another 24 hours. Or, we can be present in the life we have been given, feeling deeply as we see all colors, hear all music, and feel all the love God has placed around us. No one is more present in life than my sweet Brynna,” Marie shared.

Online Marie Osmond shared that "daughter" Brynna was given three months to live. The news shook all of their lives, but somehow they found hope. After some time deliberating, Brynna and her husband decided that she should go through with a risky biopsy procedure. The procedure would help with the brain tumors amassing near her brainstem, but could also lead to health complications later. Wanting to continue life for her husband and children, Brynna saw the biopsy as her best choice.
Following the procedure, Marie regarded the doctors’ work as “an absolute miracle.”
Faith Through The Struggle
Three days after the biopsy, Brynna was able to leave the hospital.

Marie’s ‘daughter’ Brynna continues to recuperate from the procedure, surrounded by the care and love from her family, and Marie. She is also comforted by her faith in God, which has thus far has taken her through a successful procedure and now into a period of hopeful recovery.
