36 STAPLES AND A BIG RIDE

Hi everyone!

Brently has been resting and trying to get the swelling down. It looks like visiting can happen again with LITTLE MAN. Yesterday, Brents cousin Shauna and Dale visited. Carolyn (Cary) also enjoyed a visit from Bonnie, a friend. Today, Uncle Phil came by for a visit.

This is what is happening with Brent:
  • Blood pressure is doing relatively okay
  • The other 36 staples came out of the right leg today
  • He said six words with the trach covered (this is huge) - he said hello, soccer, I love you Dad.....great job Brently!
  • Brent was able to watch CSI Miami today
Overall, it has been a great day for Brent. He went for a ride in his chair all the way down to the cafeteria (finally some new scenery for him to see). Grandpa and Grandma Neufeld visited with the Peterson family in the cafeteria. Brent is getting better, but he is still listed in critical condition.

Keep hoping.Keep loving.Keep praying.

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Romans 15:13

    God has a plan, He is always at work. He never sleeps or gets distracted! He loves you so much. We are rejoicing to hear of the exciting changes day by day. A ride to the cafeteria is huge! God is faithful! Enjoy one another and remember the spirit stays intact no matter what our temporary, physical bodies may go through.

    To God be the glory. Thank you for your testimonies to all around you.

    Be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power!

    Our prayers are with you.

    Love, Ian and Rachel Croatto, Robert, Amy, Hope in Winnipeg, MB

  15. Hey Brent,

    We had our big presentations tonight in the gym, I wish you could have been there. Angel got all dressed up and everything. You would have loved making fun of her for it. Haha yeah she's getting a cold so her voice is doing the squeeky thing again. After we were done we were talking about all the times when she was sick and we would make fun of her for it. You were always the best at it. We miss you alot, I can't wait till your back.

    All my love and support,
    Nicole
