Brandon Out of Hospital

I don't know this teenager, but he must be pretty stoic from everything I've read about him. LaVergne teen Brandon Brewer has a rare disease which has necessitated a small bowel transplant. His body began rejecting this organ, so he was admitted to a hospital in Seattle, Washington.

Brandon was released from the hospital and he and his mother (the family can only afford for her to be there with him) are staying in a Seattle Hotel. This link to the Daily News Journal story will tell you how you can help financially. In addition, you can email Brandon at brandek@tmail.com to send him get-well wishes.
