EVERY BREATH HE TAKES, GOD IS WATCHING OVER BRENT

Brent had another great day today (Tues. March 24). The medical staff is trying to lower his sedation levels. Brent is more awake today. His eyes were open often today. Scot and Carolyn (Cary) were able to touch Brent and talk to him today. Brent's blood pressure is remaining fairly stable. Brent was moving again today - his arms, legs and feet were in motion. Brent is still listed in critical condition but he is certainly making some good gains in getting back to good health.

The greatest news of Tuesday was since 8:45 a.m. Brent was breathing without the assistance of a ventilator. The breathing machine and tubes are still there but Brent was basically breathing without the machine. Tonight (Tuesday night), the staff are going to see if Brent can breathe without the ventilator machine. During each breath today, Brent's blood pressure remained stable. Brent also tried to talk to his Mom and Dad today but it was hard to understand what he was trying to say. Scot and Carolyn (Cary) did their best to read his lips. They were close by alot today to comfort Brent.

Brent goes for his tenth surgery before 7 a.m. on Wed March 25.

Please pray for the following:
  • for Brent's blood pressure to remain stable
  • for Brent to breathe without the assistance of the machine
  • everything to go well during his surgery on Wed. morning
  • for Brent to come out of critical condition and become altogether more stable
  • for healing of his back
  • for Brent to be able to talk
  • for the nurses and doctors at Regina General Hospital

Please increase your prayers for Scot and Carolyn (Cary) over the next few days. They have been under alot of stress and sleepless nights over the past few weeks. Some things need to be taken care of over the next few days. Pray for the following for Scot and Carolyn (Cary):

  • for them to sense comfort as they grieve the loss of Katie
  • for their physical bodies to be strengthened
  • for a good night's rest every night
  • for the anxiety to be replaced by peace
  • for guidance as they walk through this unfamiliar territory

Remember, Scot loves Tim Horton's and Carolyn loves Purdy's chocolates (any milk chocolate she loves).

The Peterson's are wonderful parents. Let's continue to encourage them. :)

Thank you for taking the time to read this and for encouraging the Peterson family.
