SATURDAY SITUATION

Brent had a full Saturday:
  • tried to get rest as much as possible
  • he's been missing his dad (Scot is in Saskatoon taking care of stuff around the home)
  • Brent went for surgery thirty four yesterday - vac dressing and abdomen cleaning went well
  • Brent enjoyed the visit with his soccer buddies Jordan, Jordan's mom (Lori) and Blairum (we think that's the correct spelling)
  • Brent talked to Scot a few times during the day (well..Brent mostly listened as he can't talk..but he enjoyed those phone calls)
  • Brent did not have a great night last night - he was having lots of nightmares
  • Due to the nightmare situation, Carolyn (Cary) was called back to the hospital at 3:30 a.m. - Brent finally fell asleep at 5:30 a.m. and woke up at 7:30 a.m
  • Brent's blood pressure is extremely fluctuating and spiking
Pray for peace and strength for Brent as he continues to recover.

Keep hoping.Keep loving.Keep praying.

We love you Brent!

  2. Scot - It was good to hear from you on Sunday morning at Elim. It was good for the people who may not have met you, but have been following your family through the last months to see who this wonderful and loving Dad is.

    You and your family are a testimony to us all. You, Caroline and Brent are on our hearts and we are praying for you.
