God bless that surgeon! He was wanting to pull the best team together that he could - might have even called some in from holidays. What he did is amazing!

Prayers that Brandon feels better - and that the rest of this nasty tumour will go back to nothing!

HUGS and more prayers to everyone.

Laura, I am relieved to hear that 80% of the tumor was removed! Praying that the treatments will be able to get rid of the rest of it!

Love and Hugs, dear friend!

One step at a time, and so far so good. Prayers for the next step and the one after that.

They are moving Brandon to a regular ROOM! They are trying to get him off the powerful pain meds and just giving him muscle relaxers, which Sis says knocks him out more than the pain meds do. Today, he told his Mom, "they have done what they needed to do...NOW I am ready to go home!"..

Sis said they are not going to celebrate Christmas until Brandon comes home. They tree will stay up, presents will not be touched and they will celebrate it all as a family when he gets home, including Christmas dinner..

She said he has had 3 girls there since this started, 2 ex girlfriends and his current one so he is being carefully watched over by more than his Mom and Grandma.

Seems he is in little or no pain....thank God!

It will be great if he can go home soon...the radiation can follow a bit later on.

HUGS and prayers that Brandon goes on to a full recovery in the New Year!

Laura,

He gets to be in a "Normal" room on the med/surg unit??? That IS great news! YAY for Brandon!!! You go guy! Sounds like his body is strong and has fabulous docs. ((((hugs to the family)))))

I'll be keeping Brandon and his/your family in my prayers. Thank you for the great updates. I just saw this thread and was so glad we had some GOOD news at the 'end' of it.

It seems that when patients are spunky and back to their normal selves and ESPECIALLY when they're "READY TO GO HOME" it means they are getting better and home is usually the best place for them, NOT the hospital.

LOTS of prayers coming to you and your relatives in Washington.

Hugs and ,
Kelly, Noah, Basil, Phoebe & Micah

Now that's what I call progress! This is encouraging news! We're keeping him in our prayers here, that's for sure; he's the first one on our prayer list every morning and night. God is surely watching over him.

Update on MRI post # 58..

Got this from Sis this morning;

I was going to call but I was afraid you may be sleep. Cindy called and says that Brandon started with violent migrains and nausea again so they took him for another MRI. Guess they are checking for brain bleeds. It happened right after they took him out of ICU and put him in his room. She is suppose to call me if they find out anything, will let you know as soon as I find know. Probably in the morning sometime. (Wed, AM). Days are running together and I can't keep up with what day it is anymore! Ha!!!

I want to thank you all for the prayers, this is such a roller coaster ride for the family, as I am sure it will continue to be for a long time. Your concern and prayers help a lot!

With God, all things are possible. "The light of God surrounds Brandon, the love of God enfolds him, the power of God protects him, the presence of God watches over him; wherever Brandon is, God is, and all is well." Keep the faythe.

Laura, I get LES everytime I come to read an update. Sometimes happy tears and sometimes sorry tears.
I will be thinking of Brandon and the family this holiday, especially while I am in a hospital myself visiting Bruce's mom. I will be thinking of every single person that is in a hospital instead of with their families.

[Catty1]

All prayers to Brandon and family...I hope they can get this under control! After removing so much of the tumour, he has a good chance to move ahead and heal!

Prayers that this is just a setback.

[Laura's Babies]

OK, the MRI results are in. The doctor admitted the MRI was on his whole body... they were looking for more tumors anywhere else. Phew! There were none! His brain looks good where they did the surgery, no bleeding ect.. No explanation as to why the headaches and nausea.. (excpet that it is on his brain stem)

The MRI lasted for 2 1/2 hours and he was told if he started getting freaked out, just to push the button... he could not find the button to push! Cindy told her Mom when they brought him back to his room, he was in a panic and freaking out, that it took him a long time to calm him down and go to sleep... SOON as he fell asleep, a physical therapist showed up so they sent her packing and let him sleep.. He did not want ANYBODY to touch him when he came back to his room...

[Catty1]

Poor Brandon...I've not had an MRI, but know of people who can't tolerate it...and some who are fine.

Good news on no tumours!

I wonder if the nausea was just a result of where the surgery was?

Huge prayers again that he feels better soon, and that the cause of this nausea can be pinpointed.

I hope that Brandon is stable and well before you have to go back to work, Laura!

[Laura's Babies]

Ok, they are saying the nausea and headache now are a result of the surgery but he should start feeling better in a few days. Sis said he had a rough night last night and a really rough day today..
