In the matter of just a few weeks, the Hamiltons have gone from a happy-go-lucky life to Brody's diagnosis of Juvenile Pilocytic Astrocytoma, brain surgery, a week long stay in the PICU, and now home for continued therapy and healing.  

During this time, Sarah and Bo's focus has been solely on ensuring the best care for Brody while also trying to minimize the effects on Anna, all while they felt like their world was being turned upside down.

This has been the most stressful time in their lives (to put it mildly!), but their journey isn't over yet.  While Brody has amazed us all with his recovery so far, they still have outpatient therapy and more MRIs and doctor's visits in their future. 

For now, they are just happy to be home together. They are celebrating all the "baby steps" that Brody is making each day in his recovery.  

Sarah and Bo are so thankful for all of the thoughts and prayers, gifts for Brody, help with Anna, and everything else that you all have done over the past couple of weeks to make this journey just a little bit easier for them.

GoFundMe offers us one more way to help our friends in a time of need. We all know that it's just a matter of time before the medical bills start showing up in their mailbox.  Bills for the MRIs, surgery, anesthesia, pathology, PICU stay, therapy, and more.  With all they have been through, it would be wonderful if we could come together to help relieve some of the financial stress and allow them to keep their energy and focus where it belongs--on their family and Brody's continued recovery.

Sarah and Bo would NEVER ask for this so I am asking for them.  If you are able, please make a donation!
