Thank you all for your support at this time. It means a lot to us we can now focus on supporting Brayden with his recovery.

An update: Brayden got discharged to wairau hospital on Tuesday and then home to us on Thursday. He still has a long road in recovery baby steps but we will get there.

At this stage we are focusing on getting his pain under control then it will be rehabilitation and surgery (possibly).
