I just came to post of little Bradley's passing and see it has already been posted. My heart breaks for that family, but I am thankful that Bradley is now enjoying life eternal, free of pain and sickness.

Strong, heart-felt prayers going out for little Bradley, his family, and those who love them. Sandy, the care page link didn't work (it said I had to be a registered member). I can't even imagine the pain the family is going through. Wishing/praying for a full recovery, Hugs, SadieSaide

From Bradley's Carepage: From dad: I was praying with Angie's favorite Priest up here and in the middle of praying Bradley said "mom"! He actually opened his mouth and said mom. I said, "did you hear that" and as I was asking, "did you hear that" he said it again, "mom". I grabbed my phone and started to call Angie and he said it again.The nurse, the Priest, and myself all heard him say it so I'm not crazy, well......not about this anyways.Angie and I shared some tears before I let her go. He has showed some miracles improvements over the last couple of days, he truly is a miracle! Other news doesn't seem as important, but it is.His cat scan looked great, so they will be installing his shunt sometime on Wednesday.I will be here for that.No way am I going to be gone for any more surgery's!He also got to ride in a stroller(hospital type stroller) and the physical therapy people made him make some decisions on where to go and what to do while they were pushing him along.Today has been AMAZING! I would be....inconsiderate to say the least if I were not say thank you to all of you wonderful people out there praying for him.YOU and GOD are truly making a miracle, so....KEEP IT UP! Please and thank you. Sincerely, Dad P.S. I love all of you! They do have bracelets and T-shirts for fund raisers...besides the big chili supper and silent auction/raffle on March 5. Patti...I understand your feeling, and agree. But, they do have 3 other young children. They have vehicle and mortgage payments plus normal bills that still have to be made also. Angie has been off since this all started over 3 weeks ago. She is only putting in the minimum hours so they can keep the medical insurance. She is waiting to use the Medical Family Leave (I believe that is what it is called) for further down the road. Here is a link that might be useful: Bradleys-story.com T-shirts & bracelets

Chris (dad) works for Perkins Co. He has been off of work for almost the whole 3 weeks. They are a young family with 3 other (5,4, 6mth) children at home. They have bills that still need to be paid, and a mortgage. Angie has to go back to Wells Fargo for 30 hours...which she is hoping she will be able to do on the 2 days that Chris is off work...as she holds the insurance for the family. My DD works with Angie, and it sounds like they are pretty much letting her do what she can/when she can. There are numerous fund raisers (bracelets, shirts, chili supper and silent auction) and collection pots in areas around them. They have a wonderful Church family that is really helping out....and they are very blessed that they have both parents and at least 1 sibling living in their same town. They have good insurance, but with 3 brain surgery's..so far!... and 3 weeks in ICU they will have alot of bills. I know alot has been donated just through cards...but as Angie stated, it is being used for just day to day living mostly at this point. This might answer some of your questions. I know that it was the hardest thing for Chris to go back to work, and it will be heartbreaking for Angie as she hasn't left Bradley's side for more than a couple of hours. Just sad, sad situation that needs some mighty big miracles....but as the Dr. told them after the 2nd surgery....we didn't expect him to still be with us at this point! They are all very impressed with how strong Bradley is. KEEP PRAYING!!! Thank you!!!!!
