Braylon welcomed home
By Heather Fasciocco
HHJ Staff Writer
WARNER ROBINS - After
33 days away from his par
ents and 28 intense sessions
of therapy, Bray lon Braddy of
Byron has arrived home
fronv Poland to a welcome
home party.
Braddy, who has been diag
nosed with cerebral palsy,
traveled with his grandmoth
er Geraldine Leverett and
aunt Nancy Beaudoin to seek
therapy, while his parents,
Tonya and Randy, remained
stateside with their 6-year
old daughter, Courtney. With
little leave left to take,
Braylon’s parents were left
to worry as he underwent
therapy that would enable
him to have more control
over his physical movements
and motor skills.
With not much of a guar
antee but a lot of hope, the
family and their friends
raised $9,000 to send
Braylon overseas for his
treatments.
Leverett said during the
first day of the therapy ses
sion it was apparent Braylon
was willing to go along with
the doctors’ requests.
Throughout the month
long stay Braylon learned to
sit up, push up and crawl. He
was receiving nourishment
by a bottle when he left
Georgia, and when he
returned his diet had
changed so that he could now
consume a blend of solid
food. As his right hand had
once remained at his side, he
now has the ability to raise it
over his head. Braylon also
has more control over his
neck and trunk area and now
sings along with his favorite
song, “If you’re happy and
you now it....”
“I was happy when at six
months he had his feeding
tube removed,” said his
mother, Tonya. “And I was
happy when called me by the
name of the nurse in Poland
when he couldn’t pronounce
the letter “M” for mom.

Braddy holds her son Braylon at a welcome-home party
held Friday for Braylon. Braylon and Brent have been
diagnosed with cerebral palsy and are seeking financial
assistance to received intense therapy sessions in
Poland.
Braylon has the will to learn
and we are doing all that we
can to encourage his progres
sion.”
One of the most rewarding
sessions came after Braylon
was placed in a pressurized
suit known as the Adeli Suit.
The suit is worn in conjunc
tion with vibrating sandals
for a period of time, and
allowed Braylon to lift his
legs and walk with the sup
port of a walker.
“I think he has learned and
progressed a lot,” Leverett
said. “We couldn’t have seen
Braylon in this capacity had
it not been for the many,
many people who either
donated money or their time
needed to get Braylon this
treatment. What everyone
has done for us is a blessing.”
Braylon’s parents will
escort him on another visit to
Poland in January. The
