Brandon and Layton updates

**Laura's Babies** · 03-27-2009, 10:22 AM

Medusa, maybe I did pick up your vibes

. I just felt it was important that I post a update asap for some reason..

It is heartbreaking what he has been through already in his 22 years here on earth! The two other tumors on his brain as a child, then that horriable car wreck about 5 years ago that darn near killed him. He has had a life that no one would want and always bounced back stronger and happy to be alive. Sis said he still wants to go find a job as soon as he can, can't wait to go back to work although working has always been difficult for him because of the after effects of having those prior 2 tumors.. He just dosen't give up!

I do think that Jessica coming back to him and having Layton has motivated him beyond belief. Layton is as close to having a baby as he will ever get and you can see in the picture that he is just as proud of Layton as Jessica is..

He is on cheno now, Sis said they are going to double the dose in the next round and it is going to make him terriably sick.

I think they are done with the raditation.

Because I'm a nurse... I hope Brandon was researching his tumor on reputable sites and not on some of the ones my co-workers call "wacko quacko". I hope everything will come out right for this precious family.

Ditto, ditto, ditto! I gave up reading most health-related sites that pertained to my illness online as well as stopped with the illness specific support groups I was in because they all became SO NEGATIVE. One thing everyone should remember about their health is that EVERYONE is different. We react to medications/treatments/etc differently. What may happen for one person may not happen for another. We tell all our patients not to look online unless its somewhere like www.webmd.com because they'll all end up terrifed, sad, etc.

I *think* I am a good example of this...I think I am much more positive and happygolucky than most other people that have the type of illness that I have. I constantly conciously choose to react positively to all the things my illness has taken away from me. If surrounded by negativity, I couldn't be this way.

Anyway...
This family looks so precious. I will keep all three (and their support systems too!) in my thoughts and prayers. They deserve so much good and hope in their lives. I hope and pray that God helps them stand up against any negativity and keeps them strong and peace-filled. They so deserve it. May their July wedding be blessed and their marriage be strong and happy. May little Layton grow up to be strong and have a happy heart just like his daddy's.

Hugs, LOVE, and Prayers coming their/your way...
