Brandon and Layton updates

**Laura's Babies** · 03-26-2009, 10:12 PM

Brandon has a crisis while I was gone, headaches and vomiting and left side of his face was paralyzed. He was rushed back to the hospital in Seattle. He had another brain bleed and it was only then did they tell them that was a side effect of the radiation. The radiation narrows the blood vessels and makes them weak and easier to bleed or something. Gee, why couldn't they have warned them that could happen so we wouldn't freak out!

Sis told me tonight that Brandon researched his tumor on the Internet and read up on it while at Jessica's house one day. Jessica told them he cried for 3 hours over his fate. He knows this will not have a good outcome for him now.

I DO have some GOOD news to share. Brandon and Jessica are going to GET MARRIED!!! They are going to get married in July. I asked Sis why they are waiting and Jessica wants to wait until Layton is able to leave the hospital and is sure he will be home by then. Jessica has this picture on her My Space page as her perfect family, it was the day she finally got to hold Layton.
Jessica, Layton and Brandon.

This picture is just SO sweet I had to snatch this one for you to see, I got tears in my eyes when I saw this one. Just look at his little hand!

He weighs THREE pounds now and is doing great! He is about 5 weeks old now I think.

What a beautiful picture.

I am so sad about Brandon's grief...I wish there was some way for a miracle to happen for him. From what you have said about him, though, I think he will put his energy into really LIVING.

The wedding is bound to be a huge celebration! I wish Jessica and Brandon all the joy possible!

That tiny little hand...oh my goodness. I am glad wee Layton is doing well.

I'm so sorry to hear about Brandon's reaction to researching his tumor. That just breaks my heart. I do, also, hope for a miracle. The photos of Layton were just precious. He's so, so tiny. The little hand up by mommies face was beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time.

What wonderful news about the wedding! I'm so happy for Brandon and Jessica. What a celebration that will be!

I got LES looking at both pictures. They really are a beautiful family. And Layton's wittle fingers are just too precious.

I swear, Laura, you must be able to pick up on my vibe because every time that I'm ready to ask about Brandon, you post about him. This is such a special and heartwarming story, the love story between Brandon and Jessica and the birth of Layton. Sigh. I, too, felt sad when I read about Brandon's reaction to the internet research but the pic of Layton touching Jessica's face replaced the sadness w/hope for me. I, for one, am going to set aside a special time every evening devoted just to Brandon and his healing. This young man deserves only the best in life and it appear that he has that w/Jessica and w/his family but we want it to last for as long as possible. God bless this boy and those whom he loves.

OH man my eyes are full of tears. What sweet photos. That sweet tiny little baby... what a blessing.

They do look like a very happy family. I'm glad he has found hapiness... Gives him something positive and wonderful to focus on.

My best wishes and prayers for their little family
