I just had a real long phone conversation with Brandons Mom and she wanted me to thank all those who prayed for him and sent all the cards and encouragement. She said it is the prayers that kept her son alive and she would love to thank everyone herself. She said "Heck, we got cards from all over the country from people we don't even know!" She was amazed!!!
Brandon has another week or 2 at the rehab hospital and then he will be released to come home. He is able to come home on the week ends and is able to get around with a walker and wheel chair and there is no holding him down!! He is ready to get on with his life, NOW!!! He has no memory of the day he had the wreck and he was shocked to discover how long he had been in the hospital. She said his mind is as normal as can be and he is his old self. She said one day he is in a coma and two days later, he is alert and wanting to get out of bed!! His wires in his jaws have been removed except for a few and he can eat normally now, just with difficulty. She said he has lost a lot of weight and looks so skinny but he will put that weight back in no time. The tube in his throat will be removed this coming week and that is the last of the tubes!! Yaaaa! Even she is amazed at how fast he has bounced back and the only pain medication he takes is OTC medication for pain.. This is a miracle boy if ever there was one!!
He will be able to walk for graduation, maybe with a walker, but he will be there to recieve his diploma.
