The Journey of Braysen “God’s Gift” Morgan

Braysen is a courageous little boy who was diagnosed with a 100% fatal disease in utero.

On September 29th, 2020, Braysen was 18 weeks in utero and diagnosed with a 100 percent fatal condition called Bilateral Renal Agenesis (no kidneys present). Ty and I were only given two options: abortion or carry to term and have a stillborn birth. We did not accept either option and started diligently researching other courses of action. During the research, we found The Renal Anhydramnios Fetal

Therapy (RAFT) Trial, a new study for babies diagnosed with Braysen’s condition and similar diagnoses. The RAFT Trial offers eligible pregnant women with a diagnosis of Early Pregnancy Renal Anhydramnios (EPRA) an experimental therapy or repeated or serial “amnioinfusions” of fluid into the womb. After undergoing 25 serial amnioinfusions (fluid injections into the womb), Braysen was born on January 21st, 2021. Even though Bilateral Renal Agenesis is considered 100% fatal, Braysen has defied the odds and is alive and thriving! During his 225 days in the NICU, he underwent 14 surgeries, a stroke, and had many other medical procedures, but he continues to persevere through them all. Although he has overcame these obstacles, he still has quite a journey ahead of him (kidney transplant). He is a living testimony/medical miracle, and we would love to share his journey as he progresses in life!

Tomorrow, our sweet boy graduates preschool❣️🎓

And as I sit here trying to put this into words, I can’t help but think back to the beginning… to the moments when we were told the odds were stacked against him. The moments filled with fear, uncertainty, heartbreak, and prayers whispered through tears. Braysen was given what felt like a zero percent chance at life… yet here he is. Thriving. Smiling. Learning. Growing. Graduating preschool.

Only God.

There will never be enough words to express how thankful we are that God chose us to be Braysen’s parents. Through every hospital stay, surgery, setback, milestone, and miracle, this little boy has shown us what true strength looks like. He has rewritten every expectation placed on him and continues to prove that God’s plans are always bigger than our fears.

We are endlessly thankful for every single person who has helped carry Braysen to this moment. His therapists, doctors, nurses, teachers, staff at the The RISE Center, his classmates, and every person who chose to meet Braysen where he was instead of seeing his medical history as “too much.” You saw HIM before the diagnosis. You pushed him outside of his comfort zone, believed in him on the hard days, celebrated every tiny victory, and loved him so well.

And look at him now.🥹

Braysen, we are more proud of you than words could ever describe. Watching you grow into the strong, brave, funny, determined little boy you are has been the greatest honor of our lives. You have taught us more about faith, resilience, and unconditional love than we could ever teach you.

No matter how big you grow or how far you go, you will always be our miracle.

We love you more than you will ever know. 💙

What an emotionally exhausting day it has been for our family. Today, Braysen had surgery to remove his thyroglossal duct cyst along with a small repair to his G-tube. This surgery had originally been scheduled around the same time we received "the call" for his kidney transplant, so it had to be postponed until now.
No matter how many surgeries this sweet boy has faced in his little lifetime, it never gets easier watching him be wheeled away.

Both surgeons told us everything went well, and we were waiting for him to wake up when we noticed significant swelling developing under his neck. Within a short amount of time, it became clear something wasn't right. The team acted incredibly fast, and Braysen was rushed back to the OR due to a large hematoma that was beginning to threaten his airway.

Thankfully, everything was handled quickly, and he is now doing fantastic. In true Braysen fashion, he's already eaten a cheese pizza and is happily watching Paw Patrol. This kid never stops amazing us!❣️

New school, new chapter. We were honestly so anxious about this transition, but today, Braysen made it look effortless. He walked in calm and confident, no tears, no hesitation—just our big boy being himself. Watching him step into something so new with such ease filled our hearts more than we can explain. So incredibly proud of him. 💙

✨ One year ago today, our lives changed forever — we received the call that a kidney was available for Braysen. ✨

I’ll never forget where I was or how it felt to hear those words. After years of praying, hoping, and holding on through some of the hardest moments imaginable, God answered. That call meant life — a chance for our sweet boy who had never known what it felt like to have a kidney.

This past year has been filled with growth, healing, and pure amazement. Braysen has blossomed into the little boy we always knew he could be — full of energy, curiosity, laughter, and strength. To witness what a kidney has done for him, after all he’s been through, is nothing short of a miracle.

We give all the glory to God for carrying us through and guiding every step of this journey.
“I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; marvelous are Your works.” – Psalm 139:14
Every time we look at Braysen, we are reminded of how marvelous God’s works truly are.

To the donor and their family — we will never have the words to express our gratitude. In your most painful moment, you gave our child the gift of life. We carry your loved one’s legacy with us every single day, and we promise never to take this gift for granted. Your “yes” gave us hope, and a future for Braysen.

One year since the call. One year post-transplant. One year of answered prayers.
Thank you, God. Thank you, donor. Thank you, everyone who has walked this journey with us. 💚

Dear Nurses,

We want to give our deepest thanks to the amazing nurses who have cared for our son, Braysen.

Your compassion, strength, and dedication have meant the world to our family during a time that was anything but easy. You didn’t just treat a patient—you comforted a scared little boy, cheered him on, made him smile when it was hard, and helped him feel safe. You supported us, too, in ways you may not even realize.

Thank you for being the calm in the chaos, the steady hands, and the warm hearts we leaned on. We'll never forget what you've done for our little boy-and for us❣️

Happy Nurses Week—you are true heroes.

Braysen was discharged last night! It was an electrolyte imbalance with his potassium. I believe his anaphylactic reaction to eggs yesterday morning, saved him from being in a bad spot with his really low potassium (low heart rate). All glory to God for taking care of my boy.🙌🏼

As you can tell in the photo, he is doing and feeling incredibly well this morning!! Thank you everyone for all of the prayers—once again, have proven to be incredibly powerful❣️

Braysen gave us a little scare this morning, when he started showing signs of a severe allergic reaction to his breakfast. We rushed him to our local hospital to find out he was indeed having an anaphylactic reaction. They gave him some medicine that has helped him with those symptoms.

However, Braysen is now having low heart rate. They believe his electrolytes are out of wack due to a a couple of stomach bugs that Braysen has been battling this past week. They have drawn up some labs, but they haven’t resulted just yet.

With him being a complex case, the local hospital reached out to his transplant team at Children’s of Alabama and let them know what is going on. COA wanted him transferred there so they could evaluate him, due to so many things going on right now.

Please pray that we can get to the bottom of all of this. So my boy can go home!

Guess who got the picture days mixed up…🥴

Even though that happened, we still love his FIRST school picture! I can’t believe they were able to make him smile for it!😍

Well, Mr. Braysen had his 6th month biopsy checkup this past weekend at Stanford!

We thought the procedure was going to be postponed due to Braysen developing a small respiratory infection on the trip to California. However, the anesthesiologist felt comfortable proceeding, so we did! And everything went smoothly!

The results of the biopsy have the doctors completely puzzled. 🙄

Braysen shows no signs of rejection on the kidney—THANK YOU JESUS 🙌🏼.

However, there was some inflammation on the kidney that could be from his recent UTI exposure… the part that is puzzling is that they do not understand how he could get a UTI if he doesn’t have a bladder. So the nephrologist needs to consult with the urologist to figure out why this is happening and how we fix this moving forward!

Of course, Braysen likes to keep the doctors on their toes… 😅

Happy 4th birthday Braysen!

Your growth and development over the past year have been such an inspiration. We feel humbled and grateful to be your parents and to be a part of your incredible journey.

We love you with all our hearts❣️❣️
