We call him "Bubba"

"Bubba" is what the girls have always called Braden.  He started hanging out with us when he was 6 months old when his mamma was hard at work teaching kindergartners.  Most of you know back in April he was diagnosed with a very rare form of neuroblastoma.  Well, the time has come for him to get ready to have surgery.  He will be heading up to New York this weekend to start the process.  Surgery is scheduled for October 11th and your prayers are coveted more than you could ever imagine.  You can check out his blog, or the Pray for Braden Facebook page for updates.  

About a week ago we were so pumped because we got him back for a day.  It was amazing to see how he just fits in with us.  It was like no time had passed since he was with "his girls".  To say a good time was had by all is an understatement.

This is how they would sit every morning when he would get to our house.  Chocolate milk and cartoons are the best way to start the day!

 Livi even got to get into the action this visit.

 As soon as Q got home from school playing way in full swing.

 Q has always adored him.  Can you tell?

 These two are two peas in a pod.  She is his Pay Pay and he is her Bubba.

  It brings tears to my eyes to think about what these next several weeks will hold for this little boy.  Please lift him and his family up in your prayers; that's all they are asking for you to do. That's the only thing that we know will heal him.  Selfishly, we just want our Bubba healed so he can come back and play with us.
