A Good Weekend

Braden had a good weekend. On Friday, he got a visit from his PoPo, Aunt Connie, Uncle Chris, Uncle JJ, Uncle Leroy, his mommy and me. After all those visitors, he was tired and ready for a good night's rest. On Saturday, Annie got to hold him for about an hour! As soon as he got comfy, he went right to sleep! Early Sunday morning, his MoMo and PoPo went to see him. PoPo starting talking about hash browns and fried eggs and Braden started wiggling and looking all around. He was wide awake during their visit!

I got a nice e-mail from a woman named Misty. She and her family live in New Mexico and we have never met them. Misty has been checking Braden's site since March and one night her 4-year-old son, Caleb, saw pictures of Braden on the computer. Misty explained Braden's story to Caleb and that sweet 4-year-old decided he wanted to say a prayer for Braden. As Caleb prayed he said, "God help Braden get well and grow up to be a strong man...so he can be married to my sister." Caleb has a 2 year-old sister and Misty has no idea where the marriage thing came from, but it's such a sweet thought. He then asked if Braden would get "bumps" on his arms the way his daddy does. Misty then realized that those "bumps" are muscles and she assured Caleb that Braden would get them one day. Caleb went on to ask if Braden would have a sister one day. Misty told him that right now we need to concentrate on praying for Braden's health and later we can pray for him to have a sister. I realize we don't know Misty and her family but her e-mail was so refreshing and it's nice to get e-mails like that. We are touched that a 4-year-old would think of our Braden and say such an endearing prayer for him. So thank you Misty and Caleb!

Thanks for stopping by to check on Braden. We will have several photos on Monday afternoon. Thanks for all your prayers, we appreciate them more than you know! And we pray for all of you as well - we could never forget those who consistently pray for Braden.
