Brandon has now been moved from the LTAC facility to the Rehabilitation center at UVRMC! This is exciting for him because he knows that he is one step closer to getting home! He was able to get settled into his new room on Tuesday but was having a bit of difficult breathing. On Thursday, he was transferred to the NST ICU because his oxygen level was very low. They discovered an infection in Brandon's lungs and are treating him with antibiotics. He did very well over the weekend and is in very good spirits. He is doing so well that he will be moving back to the Rehabilitation unit today to get moving on his therapies! Brandon's breathing has improved dramatically and he is breathing without the ventilator and with just a little help from oxygen through his nose. This is nice because he can spend more time talking and is sounding more like himself every day! Another huge change in Brandon has been with his emotions and attitude. He remains much more positive and less emotional and agitated throughout the day now. This is a great indication that he is recovering well from his brain trauma and is now ready to focus on what he needs to do to get home!
Keep it up Brandon................ or should we call you Superman!
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.
