He's Awake!
It feels amazing to be able to say that! We still do not know what level of consciousness Brandon is experiencing but we do know that he can hear us and is responding to voices and stimulation! At several points during the day Brandon had his eyes fully open and would turn them to the sound of our voices! With so much stimulation we can see that he is exhausted and resting well this evening. While this entire experience has taught us to be cautious for the future, we are humbly grateful for today and look forward to tomorrow.
Our family also wants to take a moment to recognize the fabulous NST ICU staff that have been there for not only Brandon, but us as well. We have great confidence and respect for the doctors that are treating him. The nurses, technicians, and therapists have treated us with care and sensitivity and have offered us words of encouragement when we need it most. The care that Brandon has been receiving is outstanding and we know that he is in the best place he can be. Day after day they have done amazing work and deserve recognition for all the crap that they deal with (figuratively and literally.......ewwww!)
To Our Friends in the UVRMC NST ICU....Thank You!
On Christmas Eve 2011 Brandon became ill with symptoms of the flu. A mass was discovered on the Pineal Gland in the center of his brain and it was successfully removed on December 30th. Brandon continues to fight and is currently recovering from a coma. Our family is truly grateful for all of the love and support we are receiving. Anyone wishing to contribute to Brandon's recovery can do so at any Zions Bank under the name of the Brandon R Brown Donation Fund.
Good job Brandon! i'm sooo proud of you!! keep it up. before you know it youll be out and about again.
