Not only is Carson being lifted up but so is your family, doctors, nurses, and anyone who comes into contact with y'all during this time. My prayer is that God will put His loving arms around each of you, guide the doctors' and nurses' hands as they operate, and give them amazing amounts of wisdom on how to take care of Carson. I've always been a believer that "He who brings you do it, will bring you THROUGH it"! As Carson is in surgery remember the Lord is holding you both tight in his loving arm. It is time to let Him carry you all through this. That is what He is there for. I love you so very much and look forward to seeing the Braun Bunch back at school and being "normal" like Cameron wants.

Ginger Webb Memphis, TN USA - Tuesday, November 18, 2008 3:36 PM CST I am so happy to hear that the boys are doing well and dealing with annoying yet "normal" childhood illnesses. I just received my holiday catalog and noticed the Carter and Carson Bears on the back page. I assumed that it could not be my Carter because I figured someone at St. Jude would have notified me, but out of curiosity I called the 1 800 number and asked the lady to read me the tag. Sure enough it was a story about my Carter with a picture. I just wanted to let you know to check and see if it is your Carson and not assume that you would be notified if it was. We will be bringing the kids to Memphis for the race in December. Pat is running the half and I will run the wimpy 5k because that is all that I can handle. Hope to see you there! Gretchen Morris <gsmorris@cox.net> Metairie, LA USA - Tuesday, November 4, 2008 12:20 AM CST So glad to get your latest update; sorry you've had so many illnesses. Hope everyone stayed well and enjoyed Halloween. I keep remembering your family in prayer. Our son will be running the St. Jude race again this December too. It's a great cause. Ginger and Chris, keep running the good race. Hebrews 12:1, 2Timothy 4:7 Ginger Webb Memphis, TN USA - Sunday, November 2, 2008 7:55 PM CST How did the checkup last month go? How is school?

I'm so sorry all this scary stuff has been going on. I've been thinking about you and now I know why (I thought it was because of the hurricane weather).

Call me if you need anything -- Kim <kcox@bpcc.edu> - Thursday, August 28, 2008 9:51 AM CDT have a safe trip and you're in our prayers. The Wargo Family <gcwargo@aol.com> Longwood, fl usa - Tuesday, August 26, 2008 9:27 PM CDT I will pray that Carson's situation is just temporary and can be easily explained. I also hope for an easy transition for you and Cameron. I don't sign in often, but I think of you and check in often. Carter is doing well and just had his 5 year check up.

Good to see you Ginger yesterday, too!! I talked to one of the subs a few weeks ago who was really complimenting you on how you've been able to get that group of kids back in line and re-focused!! Kim <kimcoxpt@bellsouth.net> - Friday, February 15, 2008 1:36 PM CST So glad to get the "all clear" on Carson - we have been checking! I am having trouble adjusting to new people too...didn't feel the results were "official" until Dr. Gajjar e-mailed us - from India! It was so great to see you all, I'm glad we're on the same schedule lately. Next time we'll have to request to be evacuated to the same area of the Grizzlies House - HA!

Send me an e-mail and let me know what days you will be in Memphis; I think we'll be there the same week. Julie <g8tor90@aol.com> Orlando, FL - Monday, January 28, 2008 9:32 PM CST Just thinking about you this week, Ginger. I hope your transition "back to work" is smooth!! Kim <kimcoxpt@bellsouth.net> Benton, LA - Tuesday, January 15, 2008 9:56 AM CST Praying for a smooth transition as you return to work. I love teaching Kindergarten, but it sure is a lot of extra work. I'm praying you find easy ways to juggle family needs and work needs while still finding time to meet your own needs!!!! You sure will be a blessing to those smiling faces each day. Is there any better reward for all your work and worry than to go to a restaurant and ORDER OFF THE MENU for EVERYONE????? What a priceless memory! Best wishes in the new job!! Karen Thomas <karent924@suddenlink.net> WV - Sunday, January 6, 2008 7:10 PM CST Good luck Ginger as you return to teaching; hope you have a wonderful class - know you will be a wonderful teacher!

Stephanie Smelley Stamps, AR USA - Sunday, December 23, 2007 2:49 PM CST Love the new picture -- the bump on the head (lookin' much better) is just visual proof that Mr. Carson is on the MOVE!!! He's not letting anything (including a concrete driveway) hold him back!!! We had an awesome time in Memphis (the girls are still talking about Carson & Cameron and Jenny put a picture of the boys on our home computer as the "screensaver") -- I've got some pictures from the weekend I need to send you -- Miss you guys and I hope P.T. is going great!! Kim <kimcoxpt@bellsouth.net> Benton, LA - Tuesday, December 11, 2007 3:44 PM CST Glad you did so well at the St. Jude race. Our son ran his first half-marathon and finished 8 minutes before Ginger. He said it was a great day for a great cause. Did the boys enjoy the good weather on race day? Waiting to see your update of your experience. Also, waiting for update on Carson and Cameron, your handsome guys. Ginger Webb Memphis, TN USA - Tuesday, December 4, 2007 11:31 PM CST Hey, Beautiful Braun Family! I'm thinking of you tonight, as you are celebrating at St. Jude, and preparing for the big Run tomorrow! Our prayers are with you, our thoughts are with you, and our hearts are with you! Love and Prayers! ....xoxoxoxoxo...Jill and Kami www.caringbridge.org/visit/kamisroadhome P.S. Please let us know if you are shy of your goal, and we will make up the difference! I'm not doing the run this year, but hope to be able to do it next year! Jill Chauncy <Jill@FirstClassDrivingSchoo.com> Benton, LA - Friday, November 30, 2007 7:26 PM CST Hope you had a Happy Thanksgiving and that you have a good trip to Memphis. Oh, and by the way, GO HOGS! As soon as the game was over, I said now Carson and Cameron can wear Arkansas red and white for a change! Sorry, Chris, it was time for a change. Nancy Garner (www.caringbridge.org/mo/helengarner) <n-garner@sbcglobal.net> Neosho, MO - Monday, November 26, 2007 11:17 PM CST Dear Ginger & family, Wow, you guys are so amazing & it is so awesome to read about & see Carson doing so well. ˆknow how hard you work Ginger & admire you so much. Good luck in the marathon! I hope to join you next year. We live just minutes from Cinti. Children's Hospital if you ever want to visit Dr. Fouladi you know you have a place to stay! Or if you just want to visit our exciting town! Have a great holiday season. God Bless you all & keep up the great work Carson. With love & prayers, Kerin p.s. Have you heard from Erica at all? Kerin Hentz <kerin@fuse.net> - Friday, November 23, 2007 3:57 PM CST Your 2 little guys are sooo handsome!!!I am so thankful Carson is doing great!!!Ya'll are always in my prayers!!! Libby Kokinos <nanalib03@bellsouth.net> Minden, LA. USA - Wednesday, November 21, 2007 10:38 PM CST Good luck Team Carson! April Hudson Shreveport, LA - Monday, November 5, 2007 2:51 PM CST Hey Brauns! It was SO great to see you guys at the Pumpkin Shine this past week. I'm sorry I didn't get to visit with you longer -- I've passed out all the Chick-Fil-A cards and sent word out around BPCC about Thursday night... I hope there's a really big crowd and that I get to see Mr. Carson showin' off with some steppin' !!! Kim <kimcoxpt@bellsouth.net> Benton, LA - Monday, October 29, 2007 5:29 PM CDT hey family! I haven't been here in TOO long. Wanted to stop by and let you know you are still in my thoughts and prayers! Love. Cristal Willcox <cristal_willcox@hotmail.com> Shreveport, LA USA - Monday, October 29, 2007 10:04 AM CDT Guess when I don't check frequently I get more updates. Sorry about the growth hormone deficiency problem and that you will have to give him the shots - I always hated having to give Helen the "G" shots after her big chemos. But in a way it will be a blessing to be giving them until he's a 16 or 17 year old. It will mean he's still there to bring you joy (and grief!) So glad Carson is doing well with the other challenges you have been struggling with since treatment days. My helper has arrived so I'll say bye for now. Nancy Garner (www.caringbridge.org/mo/helengarner <n-garner@sbcglobal.net> Neosho, MO - Tuesday, October 23, 2007 5:33 PM CDT Well... I guess it's a good thing that Carson's so "hard-headed" afterall!! He needs to be to survive all those bumps!! I'm so glad to hear how well he's doing -- I pray the ER visit went fine. And as far as the bottle and potty training go... my kids ALWAYS did better for someone else than for me. My mother in law was the one to get each of them off the "binky" -- I just didn't have the heart to take it away!! If your mom can "get him over the hump" then I think you'll have an easier time making it "stick"! Thanks for the update -- I hope to get to see you guys soon. Are you coming to the BPCC 5K?... bring the boys and I can walk with them while you run (I'm willing to make the sacrifice!!) Kim Kim Cox <kimcoxpt@bellsouth.net> - Tuesday, October 16, 2007 11:53 AM CDT I know "boys will be boys," but these tumbles always seem to happen at the worst times. (Is there ever a good time?) I hope you were in and out of the hospital quickly. Every parent around is sighing with you re: potty training. They really should give us lessons on that before we're allowed to have kids! Isn't it nice to have updates about regular kid stuff like tumbles and pottying? You're always in our prayers. Karen T. <karent924@suddenlink.net> WV - Monday, October 15, 2007 7:06 PM CDT Love the big boy standing in the pumpkin patch!!! A.

I've been out of town and was glad to see that Karl guilted you into an update!! I am so PROUD of you Carson!! And what a great brother you are Cameron! We had jellyfish "issues" when we went to Gulf Shores this summer, too -- I'm sure whatever you & Chris decide about school will be the right decision -- no one knows those boys better than you guys, afterall!! Looking forward to getting to see Carson "show off" for myself soon! Kim Kim Cox <kimcoxpt@bellsouth.net> Benton, LA - Tuesday, September 25, 2007 2:40 PM CDT Uncle Johnny was so excited to have you walk to him Saturday night. He was impressed with your standing around too. I know that would sound crazy to most folks. But watching Carson keep his balance for that long is very exciting to us. We are all so glad to see so much big walking & eating. I, Uncle Johnny, Carlee & Kayleigh love you very much & are so very proud of you. Aunt Nesie <dfranklin@kinseyinc.com> Haughton, LA USA - Monday, September 17, 2007 4:05 PM CDT Kim, wouldn't you say it is about time for another update? We're so proud of Carson and family!

You've all earned a trip to the beach! And I think a little showing off is certainly in order! Can't wait to see the vacation pictures! Much Love, and many prayers for all the Brauns! ...xoxoxo...Jill and Kami (caringbridge.org/visit/kamisroadhome) Jill Chauncy <Jill@FirstClassDrivingSchool.com> Benton, La - Wednesday, September 12, 2007 11:45 PM CDT Carson I am SO PROUD OF YOU!!!

Kim Kim Cox <kimcoxpt@bellsouth.net> Benton, LA - Tuesday, September 4, 2007 3:40 PM CDT Carson, we all would do well to be more like you! Too often we fall down and stay down and moan about how much we dislike being down. Not you!! You stumble, but it doesn't stop you. You get right back up and keep on going, mindless of the stumble. Way to go Carson!!!! I hope your vacation is absolutely amazing!! Karen T. <karent924@suddenlink.net> WV - Tuesday, September 4, 2007 2:35 PM CDT Ging, what wonderful news. Your prayers have been answered. You had said that you wanted him to be able to run and play with Cameron. Yea!!!! It is happening. Have fun at the beach and we love you all. Aunt Deb Debbie Bright <debbright@sbcglobal.net> Stamps, AR - Tuesday, September 4, 2007 9:58 AM CDT GINGER I AM SO SORRY TO HEAR OF THE NEWS. I WILL BE PRAYING FOR CARSON AND YOUR FAMILY. GOD IS GOOD AND HE IS GOOD ALL THE TIME AND HE KNOWS WAHT IS BEST FOR CARSON. KEEP YOUR HEAD UP HIGH AND GOD WILL TAKE CARE OF THE SITUATION.

I LOVE YOU ALL AND HAVE A GREAT DAY.... CRYSTAL SMITH <CRYSTAL.SMITH@STJUDE.ORG> MEMPHIIS, TENN SHELBY - Wednesday, August 22, 2007 8:29 AM CDT I wish we could go back to "no news is good news"! I'm so sorry about the shots, but I'm glad that you'll get a reprieve before you have to start to give them. Glad to hear that IMOT is going so well, though, and thrilled to hear that Cameron is adjusting to preschool! All my kids loved it there, and I'm great friends with some of the staff members, so I know it will be a great experience for you, too, Ginger! I can't begin to imagine how exhausting your days are--hang in there, continue to stay strong, and we're praying for you and your family! Lots of Hugs! ...xoxooxoxo...Jill and Kami Jill Chauncy <jill@firstclassdrivingschool.com> Benton, but Memphis for now, LA 71006 - Sunday, August 19, 2007 10:27 PM CDT Oh Ginger, I am so sorry about the shots....it breaks my heart how much he and you go through. He looks so good and you are doing a wonderful job as always. Keep up the good work & lots of prayer. Please know you are in our prayers every day. Hope to see you all in Memphis one day soon. With love & somewhat of an understanding of your struggles, Kerin Hentz Kerin Hentz <kerin@fuse.net> - Sunday, August 19, 2007 7:40 PM CDT Hi, Carson, I hear that you had a good checkup and are doing great. That makes me very happy. Your grandmother brought me pictures to see of you and Cameron and your little cousins. I really liked your sweet smile. Love you, Miss Dixie Dixie Wilson <dixhw3904@sbcglobal.net> Hot Springs, AR Garland - Friday, August 17, 2007 11:03 AM CDT Carson, great job with the IMOT! And I'm so glad that Cameron enjoyed his first day at Asbury! Ginger, I can't imagine how exhausting it is to sit for four hours while Carson is in therapy--if they don't put you to work, they're missing a great chance! :D Otherwise, you can just sit and catch up with all the Hollywood gossip and your correspondence! (I'd rather work! LOL!) We have you and your family in our prayers, and in our thoughts! Much Love...xoxoxo...Jill and Kami Chauncy Jill and Kami Chauncy <Jill@FirstClassDrivingSchool.com> Benton, but Memphis for now, La - Wednesday, August 15, 2007 1:32 AM CDT Lovin' the good results and the no news is good news results!

Ask her. Jake's AUnt MO <mgroves@jam.rr.com> WM, LA - Friday, July 6, 2007 10:58 PM CDT Our dream home is beautiful! I think I'm still in shock that we actually won - I wish we could keep it but Darryl doesn't want to commute 3 hours a day! The best part of it is that we are getting to share Helen's story with a new audience - I think she must have been guiding the hand that drew out the name. Maybe you'll win your dream home in August. Will be praying that Carson's tests all go well - they are going to be so proud of the progress he has made. Miss you - we need to work on meeting up someplace. Robert is getting so big and independent. - it would be fun to watch the boys playing together again. Nancy Garner (www.caringbridge.org/mo/helengarner) <n-garner@sbcglobal.net> Neosho, MO - Thursday, July 5, 2007 9:58 PM CDT Ginger, Thanks for stopping by Shae's site and signing in. It was very nice to meet you at Shake 4 Jake. What a wonderful night it was. I know that Don and Staci were so glad that you guys were there. So glad that Carson is walking and eating...what a blessing!! Melanie does have a way with children and I know that you are so glad to have her as Carson's therapist. Blessed, Dawn, Todd, Angel Shae & Mason ............. <longhornfan2@comcast.net> Hernando, MS - Thursday, July 5, 2007 9:00 PM CDT I am just going to say this once... when "MR.KARrrrrL" gets a few steps out of Carson, the world stops turning. But.... when MISS MELANIE gets him to walk across the room... NOTHING! Nothing!! What is the deal here? Guess I will have to figure out how to attach a video to prove it! SO proud of him! Melanie Melanie Massey, aka Jake's Aunt Mo <mgroves@jam.rr.com> West Monroe, LA - Tuesday, July 3, 2007 8:52 PM CDT I am so proud of you, Carson, and of your Mommy!!

Come see us when you are in Stamps. Stephanie Stamps, AR USA - Thursday, June 21, 2007 9:23 PM CDT Hey there, busy lady! We go everywhere with some sort of Superhero something on so Carson should wear his light up Mickey ears all the time. Glad you had a great trip - You'll have to find time to scrapbook all those wonderful memories. But that's hard for me to do and I only have to chase Spiderman around. Thanks for continuing to check on me - Nancy Nancy Garner (www.caringbridge.org/mo/helengarner) <n-garner@sbcglobal.net> Neosho, MO - Monday, June 18, 2007 7:20 AM CDT The boys look great!!So glad ya'll had such fun on your trip!!Kayus keeps saying he wants to see Mickey's Castle,I guess that means a trip to DW,maybe next year!!!Praying that all the therapies go good and Carson keeps making great progress,he is truly amazing!! Libby Kokinos <nanalib03@bellsouth.net> Minden, La. USA - Thursday, June 14, 2007 9:32 PM CDT Wow, wow busy lady! Oh my goodness, don't feel like you were negative. You are one of the most busy moms I know who gives it her all for two very busy boys! I hope therapy goes well, sometimes I get a little bummed about all of Louie's therapy & then realize how very very lucky we are just to have his smile. You just want everything other kids have for them so bad. When is Carson's next trip? We are going at the end of June & then move to 6 mos. I hope to see you there one day soon. Hang in there & enjoy your summer....p.s. your schedule explains your slim girly figure! pps.have you heard from Erica? God Bless you all. Love, Kerin kerin Hentz <kerin@fuse.net> - Friday, June 8, 2007 3:21 PM CDT Hey Ginger, Glad everything's back "in swing" -- I know Carson's doing awesome with Mr. Karl!! Emily had some dental work done lately too and the versed (spelling??) on both occasions worked great while she was in the chair, but made her act CRAZY the rest of the day too (mean, wild, out of control, etc...). I'm not sure we'll ever use that with her again -- she had such a bizarre reaction. So I can imagine how Cameron might have acted -- We'll try to make it to the Boardwalk Tues night -- sounds like fun! Miss you boys!

Kim <kimcoxpt@bellsouth.net> Benton, LA - Tuesday, May 29, 2007 11:11 AM CDT GIGER I AM SO GLAD YOU AND YOUR FAMILY HAD A GREAT TIME AT DISNEY WORLD. I MISS YOU ALL AND HOPE CARSON THERAPY GOES WELL. LOVE YOU ALL CRYSTAL SMITH <CRYSTAL.SMITH@STJUDE.ORG> MEMPHIS, TENN SHELBY - Tuesday, May 29, 2007 10:19 AM CDT Glad you all had so much fun. Ginger has always been such a Mickey Mouse fan so I'm sure she had more fun than anyone. Love the pics. Take care and glad you had a safe trip. Love ya, A. Deb Debbie Bright <debbright@sbcglobal.net> Stamps, AR - Tuesday, May 15, 2007 2:36 PM CDT Whew! I'm astounded at all you can pack into a week! I'm tired just reading about it-- I can only imagine how tired you are, living it with 2 little boys! And then to come home and go right back into another kind of jam packed schedule. I can see where Carson gets his determination from! You are one awesome role model!!! I'm glad you got to make so many wonderful memories. I'll be praying for all of you as you readjust to reality. Karen <karent924@suddenlink.net> WV - Monday, May 14, 2007 4:02 PM CDT Wow... I'm tired just reading about your week. I can't believe it's even possible to do all of that in one week!! Most of the things that were your favorites, Carson and Cameron were my kids favorites, too!! They LOVED the 3-D shows as much or more than the rides-- I should have warned you about the front row for Fantasmic... I saw they got splashed quite a bit! Animal Kingdom was the most crowded when we went, too... other than the Bugs Life show and the Pochohontas show we didn't do much there (the "big kids", including Kyle, liked Everest, though...) I can't wait to see the pictures! Have a GREAT week in therapy, Carson -- I know Mr. Karl is anxious to get the walking thing licked!! So glad you guys are home safely... I think everyone with kids has some airport horror story, but I'm so sorry you guys had to have one!! Kim <kimcoxpt@bellsouth.net> Benton, LA - Monday, May 14, 2007 3:15 PM CDT You know I can't wait to hear ALL about Disney!! I hope ya'll had an amazing time (I'm sure you did)!!

It looks like you all had a great time! Tell Carson I'm so jealous; I've never been to Disney World! :) I'm praying for y'all!

Believing HIS POWER karl 1 Peter 4:10 karl <teamjake2006@hotmail.com> wm, - Saturday, April 21, 2007 9:51 PM CDT CUTE PICS!!!Glad to hear that all is well and Carson is starting to take steps!!Hope the swim lessons and T-ball goes good,my Grandson,Kayus is playing T-ball and all he wants to do is hit the ball!!He doesn't care to run the bases and when he is in the outfield,he plays in the dirt along wiht several other kids!!!I just keep your family in my prayers!! Libby Kokinos <nanalib03@bellsouth.net> Minden, La. USA - Saturday, April 14, 2007 8:11 PM CDT Hey Braun's How's my buddy doing? Hope to hear more soon! Believing HIS POWER karl 1 Peter 4:10 karl <teamjake2006@hotmail.com> - Friday, April 13, 2007 0:51 AM CDT Ginger, thanks for checking up on us...I'm so glad Carson's MRI is still clear and now you'll get more space in between - that's a milestone in itself. Hope the theratog suit is working and that Carson is getting better about letting you put it on. I love the photos and I can't believe how big the boys are getting to be. Robert and some of his friends were in the wagon the other day - couldn't help but remember him and your boys in one. They fit better since they were smaller then! Gave my neighbor a workout since she was the one that ended up pulling the wagon. Tell Carson to keep up the good work - when we see you again, I hope he can chase Robert and Cameron around. Nancy Garner (www.caringbridge.org/mo/helengarner) <n-garner@sbcglobal.net> Neosho, Mo - Thursday, April 12, 2007 7:59 AM CDT Always love the new pictures and the updates. Sounds like Carson is really making progress, and Cameron is really getting into T-ball. [When my son was little, he liked being in the outfield - it was the best place to pick the clover!] Know both boys will enjoy playing in the water and learning to swim. Thinking about you and praying for your family on this Good Friday. Looking forward to a glorious Easter morning! God bless you all! Ginger Webb Memphis, TN USA - Friday, April 6, 2007 10:13 PM CDT I'm sitting here in 30-degree weather that is getting c-o-l-d-e-r by the day. Your waterfall picture in shorts is a blessing!! Your smile warms me more than the sun! Carson, I hope you're wearing your suit and letting mom put it on you. Save that fighting energy for walking! Just wanted to let you know that you are a very present part of my prayers today and every day!! Karen <karent924@charter.net> WV - Thursday, April 5, 2007 5:23 AM CDT Hey Buddy! and your family! We sure miss your smiles and laughs! Come see us sometime! Keep up the hard work and let mom put your power suit on, dude, it will help you be STRONGER! Believing HIS POWER karl 1 Peter 4:10 karl <teamjake2006@hotmail.com> wm, - Monday, March 26, 2007 9:23 PM CDT Hi Carson, I hope you are having the best fun and feeling great! Di Australia - Monday, March 26, 2007 5:48 PM CDT I'm praying for the whole family... http://www.caringbridge.org/il/teagan Teagan Urzendowski <forever_strong_and_brave@yahoo.com> Streamwood , IL USA - Saturday, March 24, 2007 10:11 PM CDT Thanks for the update, Ginger! (I wasn't trying to make you feel guilty or anything!!) I'm so glad to hear how GREAT Carson's doing (probably combo of the suit, IMOT and ALL the great parenting too!!). I also think the swimming will be wonderful for him -- Cameron, I'm so proud of your t-ball skills!! Running the bases in the right order is so over-rated anyway... your way is MUCH more interesting! Miss you boys -- be GOOD for mom (she's a keeper)... Kim Kim Cox <kcox@bpcc.edu> Benton, LA - Wednesday, March 21, 2007 4:34 PM CDT Stepping between objects?!!! I love it! We can just be thankful for both IMOT and the suit!!! And of course, Carson's incredibly strong spirit that continues to push forward! However, I am sorry that he's using that strong spirit against Mom.... I don't know why all of us humans act the worst against the people who love us the most. Maybe because it's safe. Carson, I used to meet a little girl in the parking lot of her preschool EVERY morning to put her suit on and dress her in the car so she could go to school. It was not fun for her or her mom. They were both happier when she let mom put her suit on at home-- then we could meet for breakfast before school-- now that was fun! I'm looking forward to hearing about you enjoying the water during swimming lessons.. are you and Cameron goldfish or sharks? You could even pretend to be a big whale and make a huge splash!!!! Karen T. <karent924@charter.net> WV - Wednesday, March 21, 2007 5:47 AM CDT I heard that Cameron and Carson were back at Mom's Day Out today! The theratog suit sounds pretty cool. I hope it gets easier for you to put on soon. We just know Carson is going to be running around any day now. Since the weather has gotten so nice and you will actually be in town for a little while, I hope we can get all of our boys together to play soon. We think about all of you often and you're always in our prayers. Debbie, Kerry, Blake, Carter and Drew <klmdcm@bellsouth.net> Benton, LA 71006 - Tuesday, March 20, 2007 10:17 PM CDT Great new picture... you look great boys! How did it go this week? Kim <kimcoxpt@bellsouth.net> Benton, LA - Monday, March 19, 2007 1:59 PM CDT Praying for your week in Memphis! Carson, I hope you like theratogs as much as I like them!!

I pray that all of you will continue to find joy in each day and I am so glad to hear about all of Carson's progress. Britni and I think about you all the time. She keeps me updated on ya'll.

I am so sad to read about your insurance situation just when Carson is making such great progress. I hope that you guys get through all of the red tape very soon. I have been checking on you guys often even though I don't always sign in. Despite the recent insurance setback I am so happy to see that Carson continues to remain cancer free and is progressing on every level. Carter continues to do well and we don't have a check-up until this summer. Congrats also on finishing the half-marathon, I thought the 5k was difficult, but I am a running wimp. Good luck with everything. Gretchen Morris <gsmorris@cox.net> metairie, LA USA - Friday, February 23, 2007 8:37 PM CST Happy Belated B-day to the boys!!!!

Anna Gill <annamgill@sbcglobal.net> - Monday, February 19, 2007 2:42 PM CST Been thinking about ya'll all day today. Let me know what you hear this week and how I can help. I'm so proud of ya Carson for working so hard!!! 7 steps!!! Nuggets & Fries!!! Go Carson Go!! Kim <kcox@bpcc.edu> Benton, LA - Monday, February 19, 2007 1:29 PM CST Chicken nuggets and fries?!?!!! Awesome!! 7 steps!! Fantastic!!!!!!!!!!! Insurance notice? Crappy! We are in different states, so different strategies probably apply. Appeal, appeal, appeal... wear them down with info about Carson and his medical situation. Get lots of doctor letters when you're at St. Jude recommending therapy! Look around for alternate therapy funding. In WV we have United Way and Family Support, sometimes Title 19 Waiver. I've asked senior therapy students to train for a particular child and then get school credit for doing the therapy.... I'm sure you've already done all of that as has your awesome team. I'll keep brainstorming other ideas, but most importantly I'll keep praying. Karen T. <karent924@charter.net> WV - Monday, February 19, 2007 11:32 AM CST Hey Braun Gang, Just reading the updates on IMOT and the rest of the news. I hope you all stay healthy, the next few weeks especially. Carson, keep up the hard work at IMOT. Your choice of treats for good work in apparently growing! I hope you are getting a lot of them! Ginger, stop every now and then and take a deep breath, you have a stressful schedule. I am sure your car can probably go on auto pilot to and from Monroe. Cameron, I think is it cool that you and your brother are able to share a big bed. I will see you all in a couple fo week at MDO. Can't wait to see the progress! Robin McDowell <robin.mcdowell@bossierschools.org> Benton, LA USA - Sunday, February 18, 2007 3:46 PM CST Carson, I am so proud of you for working so hard with Mr. Karl, for eating cookies, AND for sleeping in your new, Big Bed!!

Anna Gill <annamgill@sbcglobal.net> - Monday, February 12, 2007 9:23 PM CST Happy Belated Birthday, boys! I so intended to get on here earlier but Robert woke up not feeling well on the 1st and has been on the clingier side ever since. Of course, since it seems like we rarely leave our house these days between illness and weather - it's not really too suprising. I am sooo glad that Carson is doing so well and that the OT and PT can continue. Looking forward to reading more good news from the IMOT therapy. Will be sending lots of prayers up for good results in Memphis - keep up the good work Carson! Nancy Garner (www.caringbridge.org/mo/helengarner) <n-garner@sbcglobal.net> Neosho, MO - Monday, February 12, 2007 8:28 PM CST Way to go CARSON!!

Cameron stopped eating lunch, because Carson went outside. Nobody had on shoes. After letting them walk in the street barefooted, we fed the fish, ONE piece of food at the time. Cameron found a BIG stick and beat Nana's flowers. Carson tripped over a rock and went down.(OH and the front door is wide open) So, after Carson stopped crying and Cameron was back in the kitchen eating cold pizza we quietly crept out before MOM got back.

Deb Debbie Bright <debbright@sbcglobal.net> Stamps, AR USA - Friday, October 6, 2006 10:28 PM CDT Thinking of you... hope the classroom situation has calmed down. I used to teach in the same room w/ my toddler son and it was a l-o-n-g year at times. I always felt like I was short-changing someone, either my son or the classroom. One thing we did that really helped was that the aide and I talked and we decided that she was in charge of Matt when he needed re-direction. It went better that way for us. I feel like I'm rambling. I just wanted you to know that I'm always thinking of you! Karen T. <karent924@charter.net> WV - Friday, October 6, 2006 8:05 PM CDT LOVE the new pictures!!

Willis and Barbara Beene <beene@cox-internet.com> Magnolia, AR USA - Tuesday, September 19, 2006 5:54 PM CDT Just thinking about Carson this morning -- I'm so glad I got to see him for an "extra" visit this week! I was just thinking this morning about how much stronger he was when I worked with him yesterday... especially those trunk muscles... And how much more stable he's feeling on his feet. I also noticed that his reaction time seemed quicker yesterday. I don't know whether it's the time he's getting to spend walking with the walker, or the fact that he did the listening program right before we worked or it's just the right time, but he is most definitely turning a corner -- I see big progress!!

LouLou <michaelandlouan@aol.com> Benton, La. - Tuesday, May 30, 2006 8:21 PM CDT Ginger, I just wanted to let you know that I have been thinking about you and Carson everyday. I am so excited to hear that he is doing so well. I know you must be so proud of him for being such an incredible little boy with such a great attitude. I pray that he will be walking before you leave, but if not I know he will be so much further than what he would have been without the therapy and it won't be much longer after he gets home I'm sure. You never know, he might be taking it all in there and when he gets to his own surroundings he may surprise you and take off! I am so excited for how far he has come. I can't wait to see you at Mom's Day Out when you get back. We will continue to pray for all of you. I told Madison and Kaleigh about Carson and they are so excited. Kaleigh loved the pictures of him. We love you all.

Jennifer Tuxen <jtuxen@sciport.org> Shreveport, LA USA - Tuesday, May 30, 2006 4:27 PM CDT Dear Braun's, Looking back through your journal entries I am so thrilled to see the gains Carson has made. I am so happy that he is doing well enough to be working on developmental milestones and is not acutely ill. Your faith and perserverance will pay off. I will pray for your endurance especially as a mother of twins has a full plate normally, let alone with all the issues that come with special need kids! God Bless Matthew's Aunt Terrie www.caringbridge/la/matthew <tedenugent@aol.com> Shreveport, La - Tuesday, May 30, 2006 1:30 PM CDT Well, it is 12:35 and I am praying for Carson and his therapist.

Barbara Helms <barbara.helms@bossierschools.org> Bossier City, LA USA - Tuesday, May 30, 2006 12:39 AM CDT Hi Ginger, I'm so glad to hear the good news of the intense PT going well. God will see Carson through this and your whole family as well. Hold tight to the verse, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." I'm sure Carson will be walking very soon. The photos are great as always. I enjoy checking the website for new ones. The boys are always dressed so cute. You all are in my prayers. Take care. Love, Julie Julie Smith - Tuesday, May 30, 2006 12:29 AM CDT Carson, you are such an amazing little man! We are so very proud of you! I am sure that therapy has been tough but I am even more sure that you can take anything that comes your way!!! We are all cheering you on!! Knowing that you are spirited like your mommy you will probably wait till no one is looking and walk across the room to whack Cameron on the head just for the heck of it:) Gingerbell hang in there!! I'm sending you loads of hugs right now! I miss you very much and wish I could take some of this away. Just remember how tough Carson is and how very lucky he is to have such an awesome family!!!! Can't wait to see you guys!! Sonja <sonjaray@mindspring.com> Bossier City, LA - Tuesday, May 30, 2006 12:25 AM CDT Carson, you're working so hard... I'm so proud of you! Ginger, he is so close to reaching this milestone (walking). I remember with all his other major physical achievements (sitting up, crawling, standing/cruising) that he would be close to it for what seemed like forever, then BAM (think "Emeril"...) , that "switch" would flip and once he "felt" what it was like to do it it would happen. This is just a really tough skill to learn, but just like with sitting, crawling, cruising, he WILL get it and it will be soon... it's just frustrating to wait. We all (especially you) want it so bad for him. Everything you're doing for him this summer with IMOT is going to really help speed up the process. He is very lucky to have such a great mommy!! And, of course, lucky to have such a wonderful group of people in W. Monroe working so hard with him. They are awesome and truly LOVE those kids so much! I miss you Car-Car and can't wait to see all your progress-- Kim <kimcoxpt@bellsouth.net> Benton, LA - Tuesday, May 30, 2006 12:22 AM CDT So good to see Carson's smiling face. Ginger you & Chris are just amazing. I wish the very best for all of you. Helen Martin <helen.m.martin.ihsn@statefarm.com> Bossier City, LA Bossier - Tuesday, May 30, 2006 12:07 AM CDT Way to go Carson! Keep that positive attitude! I will pray for you, your therapist & also your Mom, Dad & brother. Sadie Princeton, LA USA - Tuesday, May 30, 2006 11:52 AM CDT Carson: Keep up the good work in your last week of IMOT. I know it is exhausting (and even fun most of the time). Thank you for working so hard! Give mommy and daddy and Cam a big hug, they love you very much. I Love You and I'm very proud of you. I can't wait to see you. Uncle Richard Bossier City, LA - Tuesday, May 30, 2006 11:36 AM CDT Hi Ginger and Carson, We got to see Cameron on Thursday night at Mrs. Debbies-He is so cute and smart. I can't imagine what you two are going thru right now, but I am a mom and I know how much you love your boys and how it makes you feel so bad for Carson not to be able to walk....We will definetly be praying at 12:30 and all day long. Hang in there. Love, Mandy Mandy BRight <mandy_x77@yahoo.com> hope , ar us - Tuesday, May 30, 2006 10:57 AM CDT Ging, it is easy for those of us with healthy kids to say, "be patient, it will happen." Listen to what the Scriptures say: Jeremiah 29: 11-12..."For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you." God is listening, and continuing to watch and care for you, Carson, and your little family. He is in control, and doing wonderous things through you and Carson. I love you, Aunt Deb Debbie Bright <debbright@sbcglobal.net> Stamps, ar USA - Tuesday, May 30, 2006 10:43 AM CDT Hello Ginger and Carson, just wanted to let you know that I was thinking about you both and hoping this will be another good week, it was good to see you last week-end, love to you both Aunt Connie Connie Weems <rweemscweems@earthlink.net> Buckner, Ar. - Monday, May 29, 2006 9:39 PM CDT I check on your family often and always enjoy your updates.

I think our boys have been through so much they can do anything. I am so protective of louie & when his therapists push him & he does things I am just blown away.

I'll bet each boy is totally enjoying all of the one on one attention they are getting. It's like they're stars! What a great way for a kid to feel! I am so excited to read next weekend's update. Of course prayers are ALWAYS going up for all of you, including Carson's therapists. Karen <karent924@charter.net> WV - Sunday, May 21, 2006 7:18 AM CDT Carson,I am so proud of you. You have big such a big boy this week. I wish I could have seen you riding the horse. That sounds cool. I bet you look pretty cool in your space suit also. I can already tell just today that you are a lot stronger than you were last week. In two weekends I expect to see you running along with Cameron & Carlee. Uncle Johnny, Carlee & I love you very much and are very proud of you.

Now that he knows what mobility feels like there'll be no stopping him. Many, many prayers for all of you in the coming weeks. Happy Mother's Day to a loving, talented, brave, strong, smart and fun-loving mother! You help us all to be better mothers. Enjoy your day! Karen <karent924@charter.net> WV - Saturday, May 13, 2006 7:49 PM CDT Been thinking about you guys this week. I'm so excited that he did so great on the walker -- maybe that will help "kick start" his mobility so he'll get even more out of IMOT. Wish I could be over there to see all his progress for myself, but since I can't you'd better update pretty often! Miss you boys -- hope I get to see you soon! Kim <kcox@bpcc.edu> Benton, LA - Wednesday, May 10, 2006 5:59 PM CDT Great news! I'll be praying for all of you.

Kim <kimcoxpt@bellsouth.net> Benton, LA - Wednesday, April 19, 2006 8:44 PM CDT Wow, with all of your therapy appointments; you should be able to qualify as a chauffer real soon! Seriously, several years ago when we were traveling a lot for our son's medical appointments, we collected enough in expenses and miles to qualify for a bigger tax deduction. I don't know if that applies to you, but with the cost of gas; it may be worth a look. Anticipating the best with your new therapy! Looking forward to hearing all about it!!
