It was a pleasure to meet you while we were all camped out at Grady Hospital, in shock, and worried about our sons’ futures. Your friendship during that time was one of the gifts God provided in that storm. Your love, hugs, shared meals, and even the simple conversations got me thru that dark time. I was alone, much of Ray’s time since Grady Burn Unit. We lived 100-miles north of Atlanta, and though my Mom and Ray’s sisters drive down every day to visit for a couple of hours, which means every time the doctors shared an update on Ray’s progress or whenever he went into the operating room, I was all alone waiting for the next bit of news. Your friendship got me thru those really tough times. I’m happy that both of our son’s are survivors and thriving after all that they went thru. One day, we should get together with Pat, his parents & brother, y’all and Brendan& Bethany, and Ray, me and his brother & sisters (and my new husband) and meet somewhere for dinner (once this COVID19 disappears). I never got to speak to Brendan or Pat, as they were both still intubated and sedated when Ray was discharged from Grady. I know Ray is only 13, but I’ve shared with him the story of your boys and he looks up to them as a sort of bib brother/mentor. If y’all decide that we should get together for dinner someday, my cellphone number is 678–936-1586 and you can always reach me thru FB Messenger. Much love, Lindsay

Thank you for sharing the journey. Thrilled Brendan and Pat recovered so well. We are going through the POTS diagnosis process now for my daughter. Prayers for the doctors find answers for Bethany.

What a wonderful family! God bless all of you. Bethany will be in our prayers along with continued prayers for all the families. Love you all!

What a beautifully written post about an incredibly difficult year. We love you guys and are grateful to see those smiling faces. Prayers continue for Bethany. God is good!! xo

Thankful for the positive outcome for the young men, no doubt helped by a higher power but certainly the strength of you and Kathleen. Best wishes to Bethany in the healing and coping process. Your community of family and friends surround you! What a beautiful closing post this is.

Lucille shared the latest picture of Brendon with us at breakfast today. He looks amazing-!!😍 Your faith and devotion to God has seen you all through so much this past year. Bethany, Brendon, Kath, and you will be in my prayers for years to come. You all fight a good fight. 💕💕💕💕

God is good - all the time! All the time - God is good. It’s been a tough recovery for all of you - a ton of work mentally and physically but better days ahead. I continue to left Bethany in prayer for healing. I hope her brother will share some of his fighting spirit with her. May God’s peace be with you all! Jane

I looked forward to each and every update the two of you provided for Brendan and the boys and while your faith was strengthened throughout the long ordeal, I found my faith was strengthened also. Prayer is so powerful and I have seen that power over and over again . I will continue to keep Brendan in prayer and also Bethany for complete (and speedy!) healing. Being parents and seeing our kids hurting for whatever reason is so tough, but we can face anything because our Father is always with us. You two stay in my prayers also. May God continue to bless you.

What a great picture! Thanks for sharing your journey. It was an honor to pray with and for you and your family!

It was an honor to meet you and your family will always be in my prayers.
