Sunday evening's visitation was quite informative and Mark ( the intern watching our angel ) describe some events and provided much needed information. Brande's main injury is at the brain stem, which took a severe blow in the accident. It has an envelop surrounding it. It is this location that has been swelling. There would be more damage trying to operate on this area than there would be by just leaving it alone. It has been decided not to chemically induce the coma as that would just numb the brain but not do anything to reduce the swelling process. The doctors have been wonderful and they are doing the majority or the work but God is in control of our angel, Brande. Please continue your prayers for her because Sherry and I still have hopes and dreams of her coming home to us. Thanks. Monday, April 20, 9:00am
