    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.

    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!

    Laura, your family is in my thoughts. He is so young, and then to have to go through this during the holidays.....
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    I'm so sorry to hear this. Brandon has been through so much for such a young man. My thoughts and prayers are going out to Brandon and all his family from me in Florida.

    At least they were able to get him to the hospital, so we're going to focus on that. It's something good to focus on until we get even better news.
    Blessings,

    Just got this in a email from Sis


    Cindy called and says Brandon still has the migrains and throwing up. They give him something for it but as soon as it wears off he starts right back up again. They are going to compare MRI"s from when they first found the tumor to the one they did last night and if it has grown any at all they they are talking about surgery on Mon. Will have to wait and see. Will let you know as soon as I Find out.

    Tell them I'll send a prayer for him - we brain surgery survivors have to look out for each other!
