Brandon, his dad and his good friend smoked a brisket for July 4. It was the best brisket ever! Brandon didn’t get much sleep at all, and he was exhausted halfway through the day, but he had a good day with his family. Avery loved her daddy’s brisket!

Up to this point, we were just praying for Brandon’s kidneys to be well enough to get off dialysis. Those prayers were answered. But what we should have been focusing on all along is complete healing, not just well enough to get off dialysis. That is our prayer. As you celebrate the holiday with your family, please send your healing thoughts and prayers for Brandon to overcome the kidney issues completely. Facing cancer is hard enough without additional roadblocks!
