Oh Laura . . . this is so sad. I am keeping him in my prayers. I do know exactly what you are going through.

A few weeks before my husband and I were married, his cousin was in a horrible accident. Your pics of Brandon with all the tubes & wires looked exactly like what Emily was going through. We thought she was going to die and she was in that state for weeks. When she woke up, she had severe brain damage. She has been through so much rehab . . . her personality has made some DRASTIC changes! She went from a rebellious teenager to a helpless child . . . cussing & spitting on the nurses . . . and now she is as sweet as she can be. I think she's improved as much as she'll be able to . . . and she's more like an 8 year old than her age, which is 21.

I say that to say this . . . I believe in the power of prayer and I truely believe that prayers are what saved Emily. Things will look grave for awhile with Brandon . . . but I really believe that he will pull through. He has survived this long . . . he is a fighter.
