Today we had a meeting with Brian's doctors at Froedtert again. We discussed Brian's quality of life as of right now and the extent of his brain damage. The doctors said Brian has suffered an extensive amount of brain damage that it is irreversible. Brian is not getting better and this disease is infecting his brain more and more each day. The damage started with a very small amount on the left side of his brain and now the last MRI we saw it had taken over the whole left side and is on it's way to the right. Also, the seizures have NEVER stopped completely and they are causing more and more damage.
The doctors discussed with us the extent of the brain damage- how it is worsening everyday and with Brian hooked up with a ventilator, feeding tube, IVs, electrodes etc. Brian does not have quality of life.
We are meeting with a team of doctors tomorrow at 10am to discuss making Brian as comfortable as possible when the time comes for him to pass.
PLEASE PRAY that Brian will pass fast and that he does not have to suffer at all.
Thank you so much for all your love and support and continuing prayers! God has truly been blessing Brian and Us with all of you! Thank you

Lynne, Heidi and Chad and extended family - You are on our hearts and in our prayers. It is difficult for us to comprehend the journey you have been travelling these weeks, and especially the past few days. May God grant you the full measure of grace and courage in the days ahead.
