Courage Clips

My perfectly healthy son Bryson was profoundly brain-injured through his vaccinations at eight months old. It was predicted he’d never walk or speak, and would be educable to only rudimentary levels. We were advised to place him in an institution. In these “Courage Clips” you will observe my son battling to regain some of what was lost.

He walked independently at 10 years old, after many thousands of hours of agonizing, repetitious work. Today, at 29 years old, he speaks just fine, although you’d know after a few seconds of conversation with him that he remains a child.
My courageous child’s favorite Bible verse is: “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Philippians 4:13.
