Bradley had his last treatment today!! YEH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He has made it through his six hours laying and has not felt bad at all. He still needs to take it easy for awhile to avoid headaches. Now we just need to be patient and pray for results. No matter what the outcome is we have no regrets about giving Bradley every chance we can to give him more vision and make his future easier. In the end we pray for Gods will to be done for Bradley’s life because we know this will be the best life for him.
Cheryl cooked all day and everyone just enjoyed fried chicken, mashed potatoes, green beans, broccoli, squash and bread. It was all very good and everyone was thankful to have a meal that reminded them of home. Now we are waiting to hear from family at moms because they are going to let us see the ponies run down the street. It is called Pony Penning for those of you who may not know and it is like a holiday for our little Island.
So we hope to do some sight seeing before we leave to go home. We leave on Sunday and cannot wait!! We miss everyone!!
Love, Amy

Bradley, Amy, & Cheryl,
Brad you did an awesome job with the transformers, you are so smart. You are just as just as smart with Bible.
Amy you & Todd have done a great job, you will have no regrets, because you have done all that you could do & then put it in God’s hands. He works out every thing for our good & His glory.
Cheryl I have tasted your cooking & I know how good it is but
I’ll bet it tasted even better to them when thay had not tasted home cooking for so long.
I am praying day & night for God’s blessings in healing & travel.
Love Grany

Yippeeeee- It’s all over now. What a Trooper you are Bradley. Cun gung dae- Now you can absorb some of the culture and share your experiences with us. It must be a load off your shoulders to have tackled this adventure and won victory against the fear of the unknowns. That has always been my biggest problem. The fear of the unknown. But you can help others now. Imgaine that. you went there with some concern I’m sure but now the adventure can be shared with arriving patients and those patients soon to come. What a wonderful thing.
Anyone there (Amy) looking to open a chinese resturant when they get back? he he. I can save you all the fish heads and seaweed garnish if you like. I bet the first thing everyone goes for will be pizza, or Onion rings when they get back. Maybe just a good old burger dripping in grease. Boy that makes my mouth water just thinking about it.
Since your in the tourist mode now be sure to take a million pictures. di chin for now- Love ya Grandpa and Grandma Yvonne. God bless and we pray for your safe return

Hey there Amy,
Wow! Time is getting short now. I am so glad that you will be coming home soon. I tried blogging to you last night but for some reason it didn’t go through. Anyway, I am so happy that you and Bradley are coming home. We have missed you at the beach. Hope to see you there next Friday. Give our best to Bradley, too.
Love,
Kristie

HI Bradley & Amy,
I knew the treatment would go well, I was praying for you constantly Bradley! I have also been praying for Macie, I know she must be better! God is sooo good!
Bradley; remember I told you life is full of different seasons and not to worry this wouldn’t last forever? Well, this adventure is almost over and it appears you have made it into something amazing; not only worrying about yourself, but instead overcoming your own fears and touching everyone around you with the light that is in you. This is very evident in your words, the words your family speaks about you and mostly in the pictures I see of you with the other kids.
I am very proud of you Bradley! Don’t ever settle for anything less than extraordinary! God made you for something very special!! Take care of your mom and bring her back safe to me, she is my best friend and I miss her VERY much!!!!
Love,
Kelley

Hey Amy and Bradley, I will be glad to see you guys home! Olivia has really enjoyed Shanon. They both have done such a great job with the kids. I know you will be glad to board the plane Sunday. We went to see the ponies running down the beach Monday morning. I stole a piece of red,white,and blue plastic ribbon for Bradley. It is the ribbon they put up to keep people from getting to close to the ponies. He can hang it up in his room. See you soon. I offered to help clean up the house before you come home, but Todd seemed to have a handle of it all. Angie U.

Hi Bradley and Amy -
I have been reading your reports and am happy that everything has gone well for you! I think you are courageous to even try all of this, and it will prove to be a valuable experience regardless of the final outcome. I hope to see you again soon. Your Aunt Pat has kept me informed about your progress too. Remember going to the pony show together when I brought my sister Carol and her daughter Laura and granddaughter Bella to Chincoteague? We enjoying getting to know Bradley then and wish you all the best. I’m sure you’ll miss seeing the pony penning this year, but you’ll have your family all there to welcome you back home on Saturday! How wonderful!
Love, Bobbie
