Great day for Brent on Monday

Monday, March 9, 2009

I was in Regina Monday to see the Peterson's. On the weekend Brent's aorta ruptured and required surgery. Surgery went very well. Here's what happened on Monday:
  • Brent became very awake and alert
  • His eyes looked great - they were bright, focused and alert
  • Brent was responding to questions by nodding his head or blinking his eyes
  • His blood pressure is not stable enough so he has to get as much rest as possible
  • Part of the visit I had his blood pressure was very stable so I was able to talk to him - that was a great moment and it was cool to see him respond back
  • Brent tried so hard to talk but he can't at the moment because he's on the ventilator
  • this is awesome - Brent was moving his legs and feet - they place some gel (the stuff you use for ultrasounds) on his feet and he was able to feel it.

Your prayers are working. Please pray for complete healing. Brent goes for surgery on Wed March 11 - pray that it will be successful.

Despite the circumstances, Scot and Carolyn (Cary) are healing well - they look great. They send their thanks! We read from the bible - Proverbs 3:1-6. We are putting our trust in the Lord.

Today (March 10) is Scot's birthday so we wish him a peaceful and great day.
