You can go HERE to read an update about Brandon, he seems to be doing very well but they continue to need our prayers. Thanks so much for joining me in praying for this precious family!
Praying still...
Please be in prayer for Brandon, the precious 4 month old son of a wonderful friend of mine, Susan. I first met Susan through the prayer ministry at a church we both used to attend. She had a broken heart at the time, but had given it all over to the Lord and was totally dependent on and in trusting in Him to work His will out in her life. Her prayers were not answered in the way we all wanted them to be answered at the time, but I can say that God has answered her prayers and has now blessed her with a wonderful husband and a precious son. Susan is a wonderful friend and we will forever have a bond because of all the time we spent in prayer together. Please join me in praying for her son and their family...
Brandon had surgery today (January 5, 2009) for hip dysplasia and came through the surgery well. Please be in prayer for him and his family (Susan and Jim) as they now embark on the journey of caring for Brandon as he recovers. I have included some information below about his surgery, and you can click here to visit their blog.
The surgery will be performed at Children’s Hospital and is the next phase of treatment for Brandon’s hip dysplasia, a condition that he was born with. For those of you interested in the “cliff notes” version regarding his recovery: Brandon will be in a Spica body cast for 3 to 4 months post-surgery as his hip heals. The cast will begin at Brandon’s armpits and extend down to his ankles. Although we first found this news to be very daunting, we’ve had some time to accept it and know that we are doing what’s best for Brandon. After the body cast is removed, Brandon must wear braces for 6 months to a year. For those of you who are just now finding out about Brandon’s condition and his need for surgery, you may want to click on this link (http://pockstallers.wordpress.com/brandons-hip-dysplasia/ ) to learn more about his diagnosis and the logistics of how we will care for him during his recovery.
Thank you so much for your prayers for Brandon and his parents!
