Brandon used to get really upset when we went to get his prosthesis cleaned, or replaced. He actually joked about it, and didn't cry at all this time. He even let me take pictures of him without it in, but out of respect to him I do not think I will put them on the blog. He and Baylee even played doctor and patient. Pretending to take care of the eye. I may post a few of those.
I hope it gets better for when we go to see Dr. Murphree. He is the doctor that removed his eye. The last time we were there he had a hard time and was fussing about it, and he seemed to do better with it before that. So we will keep him in our prayers.
The hardest part about this I think for me is being a parent, and not really being sure of what to do to comfort him. I do all I can to help him understand what will happen before, and hope that it will help him. I also feel strongly that I need to be honest with him. The emotional part of the effects of cancer, and eye or limb loss, I think, can be very difficult for a young child. As an adult/parent it felt like a death loss and maybe it did to him also.
I just hope and pray that some how he learns to emotionally deal with this, and I can be a support that I know he needs.

Brandon is a strong little man and you are a great parent for him. I'm sure your honesty and strength will help him throughout his life. BTW you look great : )
Just having you there with him is all the comfort he needs. We'll say a little pray for things to go smoothly for him too.
