The Outing....

Today we went on a field trip!!! Out to dinner!!

 Brandon was so excited to get out he even combed his hair real nice like....(what a dork)

 It was most defiantly a two person job getting him in and out of the car. Good thing we had Michelle with us. She is a real trooper. OK so the adventure was great. We found the place that Brandon wonted to go to. This only took all day for him to decide what he wanted to do on his outing.

And the damn place was closed. That's right they so did not get the memo that Brandon was busting out of the hospital to come and eat with them! Do they not know the work that it takes to get him places???

Any ways it was all OK because don't you all worry he had a back up plan.... another vegetarian place......The Vertical Dinner...it was ummmm...........the most awful tasting food I have ever eaten in my entire life!!!!! But that is OK cuz Brand LOVED it!!!!! And he got a full belly!

one day at a time....

Yesterday was a super exciting day.... Brandon slid from the bed to the wheel chair all by himself. Plus got himself dressed. Its the small steps that make us oh so happy. Never take the simple things in life for granted.

Oh and if I have failed to mention.... Brand has the MOST amazing girlfriend in the world. We are so lucky that he found her. Not only does he love her but the ENTIRE fam does as well. Just a added bonus.

So today I did not get to go and see him but talked on the phone. He sounded GREAT!!! While I was chatting with him they where changing the the bandages on his broken leg. (and taking out the stitches) Dang I really wanted to be there for that part.   It just looks so dang good!  It is amazing that they stuck 2 rods in there and thats the only incisions that where made.

I wont be able to go back down to the hospital again until Wednesday and just can hardly stand it. It is so hard to not be there but I know that he is being taken care of.

Thanks again to everyone for your love and support. loves

GOOD MORNING.....

wow...... it was a great night. i think we might have got a good nights sleep. it is amazing what sleep will do for you. i think brand only woke me up once. i feel like a new person almost.

well this morning brandon seems to be doing ok. he has not complained much about pain. however he seems a little quite. i guess that is what being in the hospital for 11 days straight will do for you.

every thing seems to be healing nicely. each day there is little improvements. ya!!!

oh dang i forgot to get  pictures but last night was great!!! michelle tweezed brandons eyebrows. they look great! but it was so funny because every time a nurse or doc would come in the room she would try to be sneaky and hide the tweezers and slowly walk a way. it is the little things these days that entertain us. he also got a fresh manicure.

well have a great day!! we will try to do so here.
