"The medical team has been incredible and amazed by the rate of recovery Brandon is making," she continued.

"Cal Fire has been nothing but amazing and supportive and we are overwhelmed by the brotherhood and support services they have provided.

At time of admission burns were severe and caused swelling of eyelids. We were concerned about his vision, but today he opened his eyes wide!!

He is seeing well in both eyes.

He is up and walking around and in great Spirits.

A lot of his positive mindset comes from the tremendous amount of support from everyone.

Thank you so much for the love and positive thoughts. We are just overwhelmed with joy at the love we are receiving."
