HE'S HOME!...sorta


Hey everyone!

Well, as most, if not ALL of you know, Brandon is in the U.S. He is currently stationed at Fort Knox in Kentucky on medical hold while his foot is treated. On Friday, he was examined by an Orthopedic doctor, who told him that his foot SHOULD have healed in the walking cast he's been wearing for 7 weeks. However, due to some osteo...something long, his bones don't heal as quickly as they're supposed to. SO, they put him in a hard cast (its black, which he thinks is cool). He'll remain in that for four weeks. He should be coming home in about a week and a half for another short leave (about a week) and then back to do some other outprocesssing and stuff.

If all goes well and he's approved for a special program that he applied for (that would enable him to spend his rehab time at home), he could be back home for good end of the month or early June.

We had a wonderful, yet surreal four days at home before he had to return for further medical processing. He got to be a part of the huge welcome home ceremony in Litchfield, which was AWESOME.

We can hardly wait to get back to life together again. Thank you all for your prayers and support!

PS. That picture at the top if of Brandon and his little sister. Its one of my favorites from the day he came home. Isn't it ADORABLE?!?! They look so bright eyed and happy, which they ARE!
