For those who don't know, our friend Brandon Plewe (Katie Crockett's husband) was just diagnosed with a form or cancer known as Multiple Myeloma. A condition very rare especially for someone as young as him.
Starting in January Brandon was having back pains. Back problems are pretty common in Brandons family so he was being treated as such. Last Wednesday as Brandon was in excrutiating pain they went to the hospital and found that he had fractures in everyone of his vertebrae. He had lost 4 inches of height because his spinal cord had become compounded. They also found out that his kidneys were failing.
He begins chemotherapy this

He begins chemotherapy this
week, and then will have a bone marrow transplant. There is a fund being set up in Brandons name at Zions Bank to help with the cost of treatment. And a calendar where you can sign up to fast for the family. A website for Brandon and Katie is set up www.brandonplewe.com where u can get more information. Please keep Katie and Brandon and the Plewe and Crockett families in your prayers.
