So Brandon is doing really well the last few days. He is adjusting to using his left hand to most his daily tasks, he has even learned to put his contacts in left handed with one hand. Brandon's pain continues to basically be none existant, he is still feeling phantom pains but they are continuing to decrease as well. We visited our primary care physician yesterday and he checked Brandon's burn marks out and everything looked AWESOME he said!!! Then we visited his occupational therapist where she gave us lots of insight into how many tools were out there to assist in strengthening his left hand as well as desensitizing his right arm for prothesis. She also was in charge of wound care which meant that she took off the cast to see how the wound was healing. She looked it looked AWESOME and Brandon said it looked BEAUTIFUL!!! Things are starting to look up and we are adjusting to life now as the "new normal".
Please continue to pray that Brandon's spirits stay up and that he continues to heal from his accident both physically & emotionally...he is doing GREAT so far!!!

Love reading your story and being able to see how you are walking this path and leaning on God. Such an amazing example for westyn to see.
We love you guys!!! We are so glad Brandon is doing so well!!!
Fantastic update! Still praying for you all!
Thanking God for answered prayers Kari! Reading this post reminded me of when my husband shattered his elbow, and had no use of his right arm when one of our boys was born. He figured out how to adapt pretty quickly - it's amazing how God created our bodies AND our brains!
So happy to "hear" you both in high spirits! God is good!
I LOVE your positive outlook. You are inspiring! Praying for you guys.
