The Browns


     I have been following a story on Facebook for a while now. It is a sad story, but I feel like this story is a prime example of a husband's great love for his wife and son. I do not personally know the Browns. The story that I am posting comes directly from "Bringing Home the Browns" Facebook. I just want to share this story in hopes that others will see it and lift this family up. If I am not mistaken, this was written in September of 2012.

These photographs were taken from the Browns Facebook.
I take no credit. It's just nice to put  faces with names.
"Once upon a time there was a boy and a girl. The boy loved hunting and the girl loved shoes and they fell in love and got married. They bought a little house in a little Texas town, and the boy went to work everyday protecting that little town. He was a police officer, and he loved his job and that sleepy little town. The boy also love his country, and became a soldier in the National Guard. Life was good, and they were happy, but something was missing. They began to pray for a baby. Time went on, days turned to months, and months to years. 7 years to be exact. And then the news came. That boy and that girl were having a boy of their own. 
This is the part of the story where you come in...
On September 15, 2012, at 34 weeks, while her husband Sean was serving our country in Afghanistan, Heather Brown went to the hospital with back pain and a headache. After arriving at the hospital, Heather began having seizures caused by a massive brain bleed. The baby, John Michael Thomas Brown, was taken by emergency C-section. Heather slipped into a coma. The baby was rushed to a neighboring hospital with a NICU. 
It took 72 hours to bring our first Brown home from Afghanistan. The longest 3 days of his life. Flights that were hours on end with no communication. Not knowing how his wife and son were doing. Upon arrival at Tyler Pounds Field, Sean was given a police escort to the hospital, where his tiny newborn son was. That guy may be little, but he is strong like his daddy and the doctors and nurses say he is going to be okay, and soon, this little Brown will come home too.
After seeing his son, Sean went to his wife's side, where he has been constantly for the last month. Heather is still in a coma, and the doctor's tell us she may never come out. But we know our God is in the business of miracles. We believe through the power of prayer, Heather will wake up, and we believe this Brown is coming home, too.
This family needs all the prayer, encouragement and support they can get. That can't happen without people like you. Friends like you. Please follow this story. Share this story. Please put them on your church prayer list. Please join us in this journey as God creates an amazing testimony of "Bringing Home the Browns"."

     Baby Brown, also known as Baby John, currently spends a lot of time with his Daddy. Heather is currently still in the hospital. They spend as much time as they can visiting Heather and hoping for better news each day. I am sure they cannot wait until the day they can all be home and healthy together. I pray they receive their miracle and Heather is able to see her bundle of joy and husband again.  This is just a small piece of the Browns story.
