Never had such a good day!!

Well, we had our appt up at the University of Utah hospital burn center on Thursday. We were so worried about the new development on his back. The doctor told us that he just had an unusual amount of scar tissue and that there was nothing wrong with it. I was very happy to hear that news, but the best news (for Brandon that is) was that he could play football again. I know it sounds crazy, because it sounds crazy to me, but they said he could play positions like kicker, safety, etc. They told him to start

living life and that if he got reinjured that that would be his sign to back off of that activity. As a mom, I am a little nervous, but mostly happy. If you could have been in that room and could have seen his face. He lit up the whole floor!

They gave him a new compression vest that fits him much better and some new foam things that fit underneath the vest to put over the worst areas of scarring. It is supposed to put more pressure on the wound to help minimize scar tissue. They ordered him two more vests. He is so much happier since that appointment. We are happy for him too!

The picture above is of him on game day. He is in the SHHS shirt. Even though he didn't play on Friday, he got to be a part of history. It was the first football game ever played for this new high school. Pretty exciting.
