The Givens Family: August's Birthday

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.

August's Birthday

I wrote a post last September about a boy, August, who had the surgeries that B was getting. August had atresia repair surgery (new ear canal) last May (the one that B just had in October) and the Medpor surgery (ear) last August. He is 5 months post-op from the one that Brennan is having in 3 1/2 weeks. They met last September and I've been keeping in contact with his family through email. August had his 4th birthday party today and B and I were able to go! It was so fun to see August and his family! August had his ear surgery 5 months ago and look how awesome his ear looks! (Can't tell which one huh?!... it's his right one)
It made me excited for B's upcoming surgery.

Close up of August's ear, it still has lots of healing to go but it looks so good!

Because B had surgery 3 months ago, I was a little worried about him being in the bounce house with so many kids. The kids at the party were doing a scavenger hunt around the yard so it was a perfect time for B to enjoy the bounce house all by himself! He hadn't been in a bounce house in a long time. He LOVED it!
