Brent enjoyed a steady Friday. The healing is happening and it's just taking time.
The medical staff at Regina General are getting Brent ready for his nineteenth surgery (this is again a routine surgery to take care of the vac dressing and clean up the abdomen area - these surgeries are necessary to slowly help the abdomen heal and eventually close up the entire abdomen area). The surgery is happening sometime this morning.
Two biggest concerns:
- Brent is experiencing alot of nausea
- Brent's blood pressure needs to stabilize
Slow and steady healing is causing all of us to learn more about patience in our lives. Patience is one of the hardest things to experience and grow into our characters. One of the greatest gifts Brent and the Peterson's are giving to us is the importance of practicing patience with each other and life's situations.
The medical staff and others enjoyed Grandma Maggie's maple twists and homemade buns ...mmmmmmm.
Keep hoping and praying for Brent. Your persistent prayers are necessary.
The Peterson's thank you greatly.
Keep hoping.Keep loving.Keep praying.
Brent, I know you can do this! You are inspirational, but don't be in a rush. I understand that it's frustrating sometimes, and we all want this to be over NOW, but we can all wait, knowing that you are making progress. You are a miracle, over and over in your life! I love you lots, and I'm thinking and praying for you and your family every day! Take care! Peace be with you, Brent!
