Brandon needs prayers again.. Coming HOME!

[Laura's Babies]

Sis just called, he is coming HOME!

My sister, (post here as Carol Bulger) grandson Brandon is needing prayers again. I had asked for prayers in 2005(?) when he was in that horriable car wreck. He has recovered from the car wreck about as good as he ever will but now another problem has come back. As a small child, he had to have surgery for a brain tumor, then again when he was about Jr. High age. Well, the tumor has come back, only this time he has TWO of them. He is scheduled for surgery on the one near his ear that has made him deaf on January 21..

Today she sent me a email to tell me he was being taken to the emergency room because of a head ach that has him throwing up and unable to walk. They took him to a local ER and from there, they have sent him (by ambulance) to a bigger hospital in Seattle. They are not telling his mother anything yet. Sis is freaking out and wanting to get to Seattle (about 1 hour away) to be there for Brandon and his Mom as soon as she can find out where they sent him.

This is a recent picture of Brandon that was taken at his 22nd birthday (I think). This boy has been through SO much already and needless to say, I am worried! Keep him in your prayers!

What a handsome young man!

Many PRAYERS going out that they can treat and remove these tumours.

Maybe the reason his mom doesn't know anything is that the docs haven't exactly figured it out yet.

Prayers to your sister and for a good and hopeful update.

Hang in there, Brandon!

Goodness, this calls for prayer right now. Many prayers going up for Brandon that all will go well w/his surgery and that his mom will learn what she needs to know. I wish peace and comfort to all.

They have discovered he has bleeding on his brain and he needs immediate surgery... However, they can not get him to the nero hospital (Sewdish) in Seattle to get it done because of the bad weather. The roads are to bad and the weather is to bad to medivac him... His Mom told me that keeping him there at the local hospital is not a option.. he HAS to get to Seattle to have that surgery!

Then she handed the phone back to Carol and Sis said they had come to get them and they had to go.... That is all I know for now... They are right in the middle of a winter storm with more on the way.

update in post #20

Oh NO -

Please, God - please calm the weather so Brandon can be rushed for his surgery! PT Prayers - please!

[Medusa]

God is aware of what's happening and a way can be cleared for Brandon to get to the hospital and get the help he needs. We pray w/out ceasing here. Holding your hand across the miles........

Dear God, hear our prayers for Brandon! And could you please comfort the rest of the family at this critical time? Thank you.

Prayers on the way! I can attest to the bad weather here, but at least it looks like its going to clear. Prayers that the weather gets better and that Brandon is ok.

[Laura's Babies]

I didn't hear anything overnight and nothing this morning. Soon as it is a decent hour there, I will text Sis and ask what is happening.

[Alysser]

Laura, I'm sorry to hear this. This is horrible for him. (((hugs))) and prayers going out to you.

[AdoreMyDogs]

I'm so sorry What a handsome young man Brandon is. I have been praying for him and will continue to do so.

Update.. They got him to Seattle, he is in ICU. The doctor wants a copy of ALL his records from day one and his Mom has her own copy and is taking them those. Sis said they have Brandon knocked out so he is not in any pain, they have him on morphine, steroids amd something for the nausea but they will need to wake him up at some point so the doctor can talk to him, since he is 22, he will have to give consent.

The doctor told them to go home last night and get some rest, that Brandon would be going through a MRI, CT scan and a battery of tests so they could get a better picture of exactly what was going on so they will know what he needs done. He told them they don't want to do ANY unnecessary surgery, but will do ANY that is necessary, the least being a shunt to relieve the pressure. That is all I know for now, except that there is another winter storm coming this evening.

At least he is in ICU...hopefully they can figure out what is wrong. Continued prayers sent!

Prayers going out to Brandon and all of the family. Gosh - he is just so young to have so much on his plate. I'm hoping for the best outcome for him!

[Scooter's Mom]

Prayers are being said. Not only for Brandon but for the entire family.

Keep us updated as best you can.

((Hugs)) to you, Laura.
