God blessed me with two of the most beautiful boys any father could have. What more could I ask Him for, except that every father could be as blessed as I am?
Happy Father’s Day!!

Hello Buchanan family,
I read your story with great interest because we have a similar situation. My husband was brain injured in a fall. He was in hospital for two and a half years and on March 6, 1992, he cam to live with our family at home again. It’s been an interesting journey and I know we made the right decision to care for him at home. It’s been 20 years now.
I just want to encourage you in your endeavors. With God, all things are possible.
By the way, there was a book written about a man who recovered after being in a PVS for a longer time. It’s titled: “For The Love of Mel One Man’s Struggle Back from Massive Brain Injury” This book gave me courage, ideas and hope to continue when I was discouraged.
All the best,
Heidi

Helllo Bret and Janiine,
My name is Burt Wizeman. We too have a Hypoxic brain injured child, a daughter, Rachael, 23. I am her stepfather. She was assisting me with the install of an antenna on Jan. 1 2011 when the antenna she was holding it a power line. She was without oxygen for over 9 minutes. We too now have her home with us. We have had many opportunities to share Christ with medical workers and to large groups at two fund raisers both of the church body and of the non-church going crowd.
I would like to talk with you and your wife and pray together. My wife and I go to Calvary Chapel of Venice. Currently we lead the Children’s Ministry.
It has been a long road so far and there are not many of us that can truly understand this very special calling that our Lord has given us. Rachael has progressed from her coma and is cognitive, joyful with limited physical functionality. She continues to heal. If you have not already done so, I encourage you to check into Hyperbaric Treatments. We can talk to you about the success we have seen. It is quite amazing. I was a complete skeptic on the idea. I have now see where there is a very noticeable difference in her healing and there continues to be.
Times such as what you and we have gone through bring us ever so much closer to our Lord. I am up late finishing up some work. Upon completion, I will hit the sack, invariably waking my wife at which time we will send a special prayer up for you guys.
We consider Rachael our medical missionary. As we go from doctor to doctor, aide to aide, we always share Christ. It has carried down to our 10 Year old that shared with two medical professionals to date!
I am glad to have read your story online and hope to speak with you soon.
I pray that you remain fixed on our Lord Jesus Christ.
Happy Father’s Day

Isaiah 53:4-5 “Surely He hath borne our griefs (Hebrew: sicknesses) and carried our sorrows (Hebrew: pains) yet we did esteem Him stricken, smitten of God and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon Him; and by His stripes we are healed.” NOTE – The last part of this verse,”by His stripes we are healed,” is not talking about spiritual healing, as some have taught, but definite physical healing. God does not “heal” a human spirit, he recreates it. He does however, heal our bodies and minds. This clearly shows that your healing was paid for at the cross!

Hello,
I was wondering if the doctors have a way of monitoring Ryan remotely. If not, I would like to see if we could possibly help in this situation. Pleae call me.

Check into Hyperbaric chambers. I think they work. God bless.

You have a beautiful family. May Ryan make a full recovery and God bless your family.

Happy Fathers Day, a day later.
I want to offer a suggestion that might assist Ryan. Has anyone suggested HBOT treatment? It is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy. It has done amazing things for many people with TBIs. It would be wonderful to see you son have an opportunity to try this.

Dear Buchanan Family,
I read your story on CNN. I am praying for your family and Ryan. My son was in accident earlier this year and we are doing everything we can to help him recover. Don’t ever give up hope. Our faith has never been stronger and we trust in God to heal our son and Ryan too.
Blessings,
Kelly

You might want to check out the following for healing for your son. Maybe you can’t make it one of the upcoming events, but maybe Dr. Nemeh could come pray for your son.
http://www.pathtofaith.com/events.php
The doctor’s name is Dr. Issam Nemeh. He’s been living in Ohio for many, many years but originally is from Syria.
He is a licenced anesthesiologist but due to a gift from God he’s been given he prays over people lot. Many, many miracles have happened with his prayers.
He is a Christian man and I have been to see him myself (just on June 2nd in Toronto) with some health issues I have had.
In Feb. 2011 he was on the famous Dr. Oz TV show which airs on CTV on weekday afternoons and he told some healing stories there and some people he prayed over were there to testify of their astounding healings. See the TV show clip here…..

Just learned about Ryan’s story and was moved to visit your website. My heart goes out to Ryan, his family & friends!
May I suggest life therapeutic harp music as a way to comfort Ryan and, through playing of some of his favorite familiar songs, to stimulate and possibly awaken him from his coma? The therapeutic effect of life music has been well documented (please read the cover article of http://harprealm.com/DOWNLOADS/Kindred-www.pdf), especially with comatose patients.

God is able to do just what HE said He would do. Romans 4:20 He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving Glory to God; 21 And being fully persuaded that what he had promised, He was Also Able To PERFORM IT! GOD IS A HEALER, AND HE SHALL HEAL RYAN IN THE MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS!!!
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU JESUS! AMEN!

I am so touched by your family’s story. You positive attitude and faith are truly inspirational. I see that others have posted with similar comments. Our family has a similar story in that my brother suffered from a severe TBI 3.5 years ago and was in a similar state for over two years. The support of others has been helpful and I felt compelled to reach out to you. We have had great success from both the use of ambien and hyperbaric oxygen chamber usage. Even today. It has been amazing to watch the transformation. Your family will be in our prayers and if you ever have questions, this has been a long journey and our family would be more than willing to help.
God Bless
