The Givens Family: Day 4

Brennan's Journey

The support Brennan has received is overwhelming and incredibly humbling. There is a growing number of people who are asking us how they can help Brennan through his journey and our main focus and priority continues to be prayer for Brennan, his overall health and for the doctors. But so many people are wanting to help even more. For those that feel led to help Brennan financially, a "donate" button is now available. It is linked directly to a special account for Brennan and his long road ahead. Any amount is greatly appreciated. I wish there were words to express our gratitude for all of the support and prayers B is receiving. Thank you to all and God Bless.

Day 4

Let's see... today was another day of computer games, "Tom and Jerry," activity books, crafts, Playmobil sets, coloring, drawing, working on writing letters... and some napping...

OUTSIDE!!! Other than surgery day, today was literally Brennan's first time going outside in over 2 weeks. Remember, the kids were in "lockdown" mode for a week and a half before surgery day. The weather was perfect today and B is getting a little stronger now so I held his hand and we walked one lap around our cul-de-sac nice and slow. We are going to be doing this a few times a day from now on. Hopefully soon we can get out and about and go somewhere fun. I have a list of low-key things we can all do soon as a family.

My Uncle Bob, Kelly, Uncle Tom and Cousin Tommy came over to visit!

We are still working on B's neck movements. He is resistant to moving his neck around because he says it hurts. I bought a microwavable heating pad to put around his shoulders to help. He does seem more relaxed today so I'm trying not to be too concerned.

Other than that, he seems to be doing great!!!

Thanks for the prayers!
