Hi, if you found this space you are probably looking for information on Brandon's condition. On Saturday morning, September 9,2006, Brandon was struck by a car while walking down Cook Road in Durham, NC with three friends. Police and rescue crews were on the scene within a few minutes, Praise GOD!!! Brandon was transported to Duke University Medical Center Emergency Room, where he was stabilized and transferred to the pediatric intensive care unit, also known as PICU. Brandon is in critical condition with severe head trauma, facial fractures to the right eye area, various torn ligaments, and numerous cuts and abrasions. He is currently in a coma, on a respirator, and being kept sedated to allow his body time to heal. His family is rotating their time between visits and getting updates from doctors. ONLY family can visit Brandon at this time. As of noon Monday September 11, 2006, Brandon's condition is critical but stable. They are monitoring his brain pressure and until it levels out he will remain in PICU. The family is very grateful for the prayers and covets your continued prayers. As you can imagine this is a very stressful time so please use the utmost discretion when making the decision to place phone calls or visits. For offers of help and support, we, Debbie and Tim, will be helping let the family to focus on Brandon through maintaining this page. We can be contacted at 919-451-7258 EST. or E-mail at tim.scott4@hotmail.com

  • Brandon. I just wanted you to know that your Gecko team mates and coaches and your friends and coaches on the Pink Panthers are thinking about you and praying for your recovery. We look forward to the time we can come see you and tell you about all the grief our brightly colored jerseys are bringing our way from the boys at NDLL. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

    Marty & Paula, please let me know if there is anything I can do during this time. I would love to come sit with you at the hospital. Just let me know when you are up for some company.
