Can't go anywhere without the TPN backpack and always hand sanitizer in her pocket to be safe while playing. | I can't even count how many times I've heard "Your daughter is an inspiration to me. Anytime I feel like my own life is hard, I think of her, she takes her burdens in stride and still remains genuinely happy. If Bron can do it so can I." Over the last 2 months, hooked up to a "J" tube poking out of her lower abdomen, that didn't work and now a Groshong port inserted into the jugular vein for total parenteral nutrition (TPN) feeding, she carries many changes with as much bravery as I've ever seen. Nurses coming to the house over the last few days have all remarked on what a great attitude and spirit she has for someone fighting as hard as she is. Max has been the silent warrior searching out information on everything that comes up, supporting and loving her all the way through. I'm not saying they are saints. They have their moments of despair, fear, confusion, frustrations and anger. Despite all of that, this couple has learned how to take good moments and celebrate them instead of bowing down and giving up. Fishing outside in the fresh air, a chair near by for the weak jelly legs that happen, and keeping things short enough that the excursions don't exhaust her or become overwhelming, they found together that there is a way to find happiness in harder times. |

Dear Bronwyn, we dont' know each other, but I feel I know an essence of you through your mother. I had the pleasure of meeting Donna some months ago in a local neighborhood cafe.It began as a client connection and is evolving into more of a friendship.When I first went to your mom's house I was immediately drawn to the beautiful artwork that she creates, one can see right away the soul expressing itself within the images. When I learned of your condition and what was happening my heart filled with compassion, and I wanted to help in some way. She has mentioned to you that I want to organize a energetic healing session with a community of light workers. I strongly believe in the power of prayer and the miracles that can happen when we gather in unison. So if it's okay with you I will go ahead with that plan. I send you brilliant blessings of love and joy, healing and a miraculous recovery.
