I just realized that it has been over a year since we posted anything.
It is only 2 day until Christmas and Brett is sick. We really thought that this would be the best Christmas ever.
About a month ago, Brett had 6 days without pain. We were so excited! We thought that surely God had healed him! But on the 7th day - BAM! - the pain came back. And along with it heartache untold! We were all so broken. I can not imagine how that made Brett feel. To have no pain after almost 6 years. The relief he must have felt and then the physical and emotional pain when the phantom pain returned.
How do other people do it? Do other amputees just not have daily phantom pain? Dr. Doleys has done all he can, but there is just not alot that anyone can do. He does not think that ketamine treatments are worth the risk for someone his age and I trust that he knows what he is talking about. We looked up the risk on the internet and Brett is not ready to go that route.
Brett did not do much racing or riding this past year. He did get a job at a golf course close to home and he loves working there. The owner is a Christian and really seems to like Brett. It seems that all the people there like him. He is a hard worker and will do whatever is asked of him. He is looking forward to the spring when the work load picks up again.
We have not given up the faith. We know that God has a plan and that He will work things out in His way and in His time.
Meanwhile, we pray. Please continue to pray for Brett.
Merry Christmas to you all and God Bless You!

Brett's progress
Wow! Ok, I researched ketamine on the internet. I found a Dr. Daniel Carr that had written an article on it. I emailed him and asked him if he knew of anyone in Alabama that could help us, and he emailed me back and sent me names of doctors in several states but none in Alabama. (Later, I found out that Dr. Carr is known and sought out world wide.)
The closest doctor was a Dr. Sitzman in Mississippi. So off we went. He did a great diagnosis on Brett and refered us to a Dr. Doleys in Birmingham. (If you live in MS, I would recommend him.)
We went to Dr. Doleys yesterday and I was very impressed with him. He asked several pointed questions and I truly believe that he is the doctor that can help us. He is concerned with the whole person and not just the phantom pain.
I would really like to thank the person again that told us about ketamine. Without you, we would not have found Dr. Doleys.
We will try to keep this blogspot up to date on Brett's progress.
God bless you all and thank you for your prayers and concern.
Sincerely,
Coleen

ketamine
Someone sent us a comment about trying ketamine as a comment to my last post. We have not tried it and it is amazing that none of the doctors in Birmingham have even mentioned it to us. I did some research on it and it seems to be something worth trying.
We have tried so many things that have not worked. As a mom, it has been heartbreaking for me. I recently heard a song by the Perry's called "The Potter Knows the Clay" and it seems as if the song was written for us. I just look forward to the day when we are on the other side of all this pain.
I have to admit that sometimes my faith just hangs on by a thread but then I remember that God is still in control and it is in His timing that Brett will be healed.
I would like very much to thank the person that sent us the post on the ketamine.
I fully intend to try to contact the doctor in Boston who wrote about it to see if he can recommened someone in Birmingham that can do this treatment on Brett.
Thank you for your prayers and comments.
God bless you.

It is hard to believe that it has been over 4 years ago that Brett lost his arm. He turned 22 on May 6!
Brett continues to do well since his surgery in November, but we are still seeking help to releive his pain.
I came across this poem and it spoke volumes to me as it brought tears to my eyes.
What an awesome God we serve!
The Weaver
My life is but a weaving, between my God and me.
I do not choose the colors, he worketh steadily.
Oft times he weaveth sorrow, and I in foolish pride,
Forget he sees the upper, and I the underside.
Not till the looms are silent, and the shuttles cease to fly.
Will God unroll the canvas and explain the reasons why,
The dark threads are as needful in the skillful weavers hand,
As the threads of gold and silver in the pattern he has planned.

Update
It has been over two months since the surgery. Brett has continued to show signs of improvement although the first few weeks were rough.
He recently told me that he is glad that he had the surgery and the pain is less than before.
However, Brett says the phantom pain remains in his missing thumb, wrist and in his fingers.
He still is taking pain medicine daily and some days are better than others.
We ask God daily for relief and pray for strength to get through each day.

phantom pain surgery
What a mighty God we serve!
The day before Bretts surgery the doctor told us that he may have to cut alot out of Brett including one of his ribs. He was not even sure that he would be able to find the right nerve to cut. We expected the surgery to take at least two hours - probably more. But because God is so merciful and does answer prayers, the surgery lasted only about an hour. The doctor was able to get right to the nerve and cut it.
When Brett woke up in the recovery room, he was in alot of pain. The pain has since seemed to come and go, but we are praying that God will remove all the pain permanantly.
Brett was able to come home the next day. He did not get much sleep while at the hospital (anyone suprised?), but now at home is sleeping rather peacefully.
We have follow-up appointment on Nov 22nd. We will let you know what is going on at that time.
Please join us in praying for Brett that God will remove all of his pain permanently!
Blessings,
Coleen

Please pray for Brett
After seeing Dr. Meyer and discussing options, Brett has decided to let Dr. Meyer cut the C8 nerve at the spinal column. Dr. Meyer beleives that this is the best option for Brett. We are all hopeful that this will take away the pain that Brett has suffered for almost four years now.
The surgery will take place on November 16, 2010. Please keep Brett, Dr. Meyer and the hospital staff in your prayers.
God Bless You!

August Update
Hello! We haven't posted in a while so I thought I would let you know the latest.
First, I have to tell you that between the hot weather and his lack of money, Brett just isn't racing very much this year.
It has now been over 3 1/2 years since Brett lost his arm (02/07/07). It has been a very challening time for all of us. Brett continues to keep his spirits up as much as possible, but the pain is not letting up.
Every month (sometimes more often) I go out to the internet to see if there is anything new to help with phantom pain. Brett's doctor only believed in pain medication and stellite ganglion blocks. Many times we asked her for an alternative means for pain relief because what she was doing was not helping but she had no answers.
Through my searches, I discovered many things that could help, but most did not. We tried accupuncture, the farabloc blanket, the mirror box (most help), hypnotherapy (this helped for a while), and out of desperation, we even tried a hologram sticker.
Finally, I found a doctor in Baltimore named Dr. Lee Dellon that said he could help my son. Needless to say, Brett and I went to Baltimore. Dr. Dellon was wonderful! He took his time in examining Brett and told us that with surgery Brett could be pain free! He seemed to be the only one who understood the pain that Brett suffers. He thinks that the nerve has somehow attached itself to the main artery that runs along the area where the collar bone would be. He understood that everytime Brett's heart beats, he feels pain. Of course, I cried - like a baby. Finally some help for my son!
Dr. Dellon told us that there is a doctor in B'ham named Dr. Richard Meyer that could do the surgery as well - but first, find out which nerve was the culpret.
So we went to see Dr. Meyer. He sent us to Dr. Lamar to get a block done on C8. It worked! We now know the nerve that is giving Brett soooo much trouble.
When Dr. Meyer gets a chance to look at the results, he will set up another appointment for Brett and we will hopefully discuss all the options we have available.
We covet your prayers as we face the future concerning Brett's pain and we thank God for his care throughout this difficult time.
Thank you for your time, your prayers, and your concern.
God Bless!

2009 GNF
Hello Everyone!
We made it through the 2009 season and the GNF!
Brett had some real tough competition. For the Clubman race, he came in 8th place and for D-Superstock he came in 5th place.
He did not get to ride in the C-Superstock because he crashed at Barber during the practice for the Michelin Nationals and he could not get his R6 repaired in time for the GNF. (He is still ordering parts and working on it. He hopes to get at least one track day in before the 2010 race season starts in Feb.)
I would like to take this opportunity to thank each of you again for keeping up with Brett and for praying for him.
Feb 7, 2010 will be the 3 year anniversary of his getting hit by the woman in the SUV causing him to lose his right arm, collar bone, and shoulder blade. He continues to take Lyrica, Loritab, and Valium for the phantom pain. Please pray for us that we can find a cure for his pain so that he does not have to take the drugs.
Our family is all doing well. David and I continue to trust in the Lord for supplying all of our needs.
May God bless each and everyone of you.
In Christ,
Coleen

Nashville Superspeedway 10/25-27/2009
Hello!
Well, we just finished the last race of the season. Brett came in 1st place for D-superstock and 3rd place for Clubman. He did not race in the C-superstock and it was a good choice on his part not to. He could not get comfortable with it for some reason that day and decided it would be best for the safety of all the racers for him to sit that one out.
In total points for the season for C-superstock, Brett came in 7th for the Southeast region, 9th for the Mid-central region, and is tied for 10th in the North Florida region.
In total points for the season for Clubman, Brett came in 1st in the North Florida and Southeast regions and 2nd in the Mid-central region.
In total points for the season for D-Superstock, Brett came in 1st in the Mid-central, North Florida, and Southeast regions.
Overall we think that Brett did very well.
The only races left are the ones for the Grand National Finals. These races take place from Oct 8 thru Oct 11 at Road Atlanta. Please pray for the safety of all the racers.
Brett will be racing at Barber the weekend of Oct 2-4. This is a Michelin Race. Again, please pray for all the racers.
Until we meet again,
Blessings,
Coleen

Barber Sept 13, 2009
Hello Again!
Just wanted to let you guys know how Brett did. He got 17th in C-Superstock, 2nd in Clubman, and 2nd in D-Superstock. We are so proud of him. As many times as I have seen him race, I am still amazed by the ability that God has given him to ride.
We were afraid that the weather would be bad, but the Lord saw fit to it once again to give us a dry weekend!
With the weather as it is, Brett is suffering from much phantom pain. Please pray for him as it makes it very difficult for him to stay focused at school. We are going Friday to get another block. Hopefully this will take away the pain (or at least ease it).
I feel led to take a moment to share with you that the rapture is upon us. Most people miss Heaven by 18 inches (this is about the distance from the head to the heart). Many people know about God (in the brain), but they don't really know God (in their heart). I know that because I used to be one of those people. If you do not have that close and personal relationship with Him, please pray and ask Him to help you to experience that relationship with Him.
Thank you for your interests and your prayers.

Jennings - September 2009
What a great weekend!
The weather had forcasted a 40% chance of rain, but the Lord saw fit to keep it dry!
There were no serious crashes and that is a huge PRAISE THE LORD.
Brett came in 1st place in D-Superstock, 1st place in Clubman, and 7th place in
C-Superstock. He did run off the track and crash in the C-Superstock race, but he was ok and managed to pick up his bike (by himself - I don't know how!) and get back on the track. He then came in for a re-tech on his bike and took off again to finish the race. That boy is no quitter!
You can only imagine what it feels like to stand and wait for your son to come back around the track and know that too much time has passed and you still have not seen him go by! You know that something has gone amiss, but you don't know what. We are so blessed to have the wonderful folks at WERA that always try to find David and me and let us know what is going on. Not to mention what a great God we have that answers our prayers for Brett's safety!
The only thing that really drove us/me almost totally nuts was the love bugs. They were EVERYWHERE! We sprayed bug spray, we lit citronell candles, we put fabric softners all around us! and yet, the little bugs would not go away! Fortunately, they do not bite or sting. I wish I had known about them before we went on the trip.
When I got home, the first thing I did was go to the internet! I discovered that if you put Dawn, Joy, or some other dishwashing liquid in a spray bottle mixed with water, it will kill the little pests! We will hang on to this for future reference!
We met some really nice people at the track. Bill and Leigh (I hope I am spelling her name right). Their last name is Hayes. This did not even register with me until Leigh said that her nephew raced with the AMA's. I said, "Oh really! What is his name?" To which she replied, "Josh Hayes". Boy did I feel STOOOOOPID! We found out that Bill taught Josh how to ride. I look forward to seeing them again soon.
Thank you all for your interest and prayers for Brett.
Please continue to pray for Brett's phantom pain to decrease each day.
Please pray for him to make good grades in college.
Please pray for him to follow God's will for his life.
Blessings to you all!

Talladega 8/23 weekend
Hello Everyone!
Brett did well at talley. He came in 9th in C-Superstock, 4th in Clubman, and 3rd in D-superstock. (Photo's to follow soon.)
The weather was good, no rain, a nice breeze, and just a little too warm at times. I am glad that the weather is beginning to cool.
We head out for Jennings next and then to Barber, Nashville, (maybe Barber again), then the Grand National Finials at Road Atlanta. This will complete the season for 2009. We are not sure what is in store for the 2010 season as Brett is quickly running out of money.
Please pray for
1. Brett's safety
2. Brett to do well in school
3. Brett's phantom pain to cease.
Most of all pray for Brett to follow God's leadership in his life.
Thank you for your prayers and your interest.
Blessing to all of you!

CCS Race at Barber Motor Sport Park - August 15 & 16
It was another hot race weekend at the Barber Motor Sport Park. Brett raced the R6 and continued to improve on his lap times. The CCS racers proved to be capable competitors and I think they could hold their own against the WERA racers.
Coleen’s sister, Mary Ann, spent the weekend at the track with us and it was nice to have her with us.
We met several new friends, and I loaned my leathers to a fellow named David White from West Virginia.
We also met a chaplain named Ray Rozzio from Nashville and Keith Sharon from North Carolina. Both were kind and agreed to pray for Brett’s pain management and future opportunities to share his testimony.
Photos may be posted later at http://www.skinandleather.com as we met the photographer behind this site.
On to Talladega grad prix this weekend and Brett starts school next week.
Pray for safety, good weather and for Brett to do his best in school.

English Family
I noticed that some people from England had been reading Brett's blogspot posts. Just to let you know - Brett's great grandparents were Leonard and Nellie Bell Hughes. His great uncle would be David Hughes. He has great aunts Audrey, Gillian, and Beryl. I also know that he has 2 cousins, Sarah and Mark. I also know that Mark moved to France at one point in time. If you know this family, please pass this blogspot address on to them.
Blessings,

Roebling Road 7/25/09 & 7/26/09
Brett did well this weekend! He came in 3rd place in Clubman, 3rd place in
D-Superstock, and 7th place in C-Superstock.
I was reading through some of the old posts and watched the Fox News report on Brett. I wonder if they know that he actually has his race license now and is doing as well as he is.
Thank you all for your prayers and support.
Please pray for Brett as he still struggles with phantom pain.
We are so thankful to God that He has allowed Brett to ride.
Blessings,

I was reading through some of the old posts and watched the Fox News report on Brett. I wonder if they know that he actually has his race license now and is doing as well as he is.
Thank you all for your prayers and support.
Please pray for Brett as he still struggles with phantom pain.
We are so thankful to God that He has allowed Brett to ride.
Blessings,
Coleen
