STYLIN'

Hey everyone! Here's the latest on Brent:
  • Out of the last 48 hours, Brent has been on the medication for his blood pressure (labetalol) for only 6 hours ...bp is doing much better (YES!)
  • Brent is able to feed himself ice chips
  • He is still in the MPICU at Regina General in critical conditon, however he is doing much better
  • He is covering his trach and talking more (he's starting to overcome this fear)
  • A friend sent an email to the Man U soccer organization to let them know about Brent - Brent received an email from the coach of the Man U team
  • Brent received another card from Australia and loved it (Dad and Brent are thinking possible future trip to the land down under)
  • Brent had a rough Friday morning with throwing up

This week, Carolyn (Cary) went clothes shopping for her 'little man'. Yesterday, after 112 days, Brent was able to wear his own clothes instead of hospital gowns, blankets etc. How good that must feel.

Thank you for your prayers, support and love for this family. Please continue to pray for full recovery for Brent. If you need the address to send a card, please scroll down on this blog until you see the heading ADDRESS.

Keep hoping.Keep loving.Keep praying.
