This is weird. Pathlogy has never seen a tumor like the one Brandon has, they said the cells keep changing in it. They have sent samples to 3 to 4 labs and nobody has seen one like it and can't figure out what it is exaclty. They are hoping that Monday when he goes back to Seattle to get his stitches out, that they will know something!

Now, this is unbelievable... On the way home a car ran a stop sign and HIT them!

So on his way home he was in a wreck! A ambulance was called but he refused to go to the hospital.. his new step Dad told him not going was not a option, put him in the car and took him to ER where he ended up having to spend the day while the doctors there conferred with the doctors in Seattle. Sis said that is why she didn't pass on the word that he was home... because he was back in the ER again and she was going crazy with worry.

He IS home now but not able to get up and move around much, when he moves around to much, he starts getting nauseated again but it sounds like he is his old self again.

Keep him in your prayers please!

Oh my goodness!!! I am glad there weren't serious injuries from the accident. Wow, that is unbelievable. Poor Brandon! He's been through enough.

I am glad he is FINALLY home and seems to be in good spirits. I hope the doctors can figure out what is going on so he can get on the road to recovery for good!!

I am still holding your family in my thoughts each day.

I tell you what from all the bad weather that delayed them getting to Seattle to the hospital and the urgency that he had to get there in, to this strange tumor and then the wreck... I would have a really hard time believing all that actually happened to someone were it not in my own family.. It is just all so strange to me that all this could happen to someone.

Sis said that, that tumor went from small to spreading to his brain stem almost overnight and rupturing. They have never seen one grow that fast either.. I would imagine that the patholigist and doctors are frantic trying to figure it out and what all it means.

Has anyone ever heard of anything like this? Cells changing in it, faster growing than they have ever seen? Even a tumor that ruptured?
