Brent having his first pizza party since Feb. 27
Brent is pressing on and is improving daily.
Here are the latest happenings with Brent:
- He enjoyed a pizza party on Monday night
- drank an english toffee coffee
- ate a half can of zoodles
- he is not liking the hospital food at all
- His mom (Carolyn/Cary) and Auntie Ev went grocery shopping for him
- Brent has a new pair of converse high top shoes (these shoes are on during the day to support his ankles)
- Watched, "The Day the Earth Stood Still" with his Uncle Rich
- loves laying on his sheepskin blankets (much more comfortable)
- Visitors included Uncle Rich & Auntie Ev (from Sudan), Al and Robin Thiessen
- Brent's vitals are exactly where they should be - vitals are doing awesome
- Myles, the physiotherapist, is working with Brent to build up his muscles
- One of the meds, TPN, is on during the night which affects the liver and in turn gives a yellow pigment to Brent's skin for now.
- Brent is also having some very emotional moments
Thank you for your prayers for this family.

Woo Hoo! Way to go Brent! I can't blame you in regards to the hospital food. Not the best no matter how hard they try.
ReplyDeleteI am very proud of the Peterson family for their strength, courage and love for each other. What an inspiring family!

Brent I am so extremely happy and crying tears of joy for you. You have succeeded and progressed amazingly and you haven't stopped. You'll be up and running before I heal all these scrapes and bruises on my legs. The mosquitos are brutal; Absolutely brutal! From one hour outside in capris, I have 19 bites. Not too fun. I'm so happy that you're doing great. Praise the Lord for that. You are the best fighter I know, and the best fighter I'll ever know. You and Katie are in my prayers and thoughts everyday. Remember, this is the challenge God has given you in your life. You overcoming this challenge will change numerous lives in this world. Every little thing you do will have a great outcome. Even those Converse shoes are an awesome start! Converse freaks like me smile when they read that. I told you that you'd have some on your feet in no time! See, I don't lie. :) Today I couldn't stop thinking and praying for you. You are truly a great friend and I can't wait to have you back at Church. Even the kids miss you there. Everyday and night we're praying for you. I'm glad you're getting so much better.
ReplyDeletein my prayers and thoughts always,
Brittney Forsythe :)

I love you forever and always!!!
Auntie Dean.
