  • vitals are great
  • eating is going well (no throwing up)
  • visitors from school on Friday and today
  • had some Burger King food
  • went for 39 th surgery today...vac dressing change and sewing up abdomen

Thank you for your prayers for this family.

  1. Thanks for the update, Pastor Rob!

    Bubs, glad to hear you didn't throw up today. I've been specifically praying for you in that area. I hope you enjoy lots of Burger King and McDonald's and pizza for me, too. (I'm trying to be healthy these days.) Thanks for always having time to talk to me when I call...you're the best nephew ever!! I love you and I'm so proud of you! You can call me anytime, day or night, okay, honey? love you so much! Auntie Dean.xo

    Scot & Car, I miss you guys, too. I hope to fly out there sometime for a quick visit. Until then, know that you're always in my heart and mind, and in my prayers!
    love you both so much

  4. Brent, it has been forever since we were able to see you! It just doesn't feel right not to see for ourselves how you are progressing and for a good visit with Mom and Dad. It will be a bit more and then we'll see you again - can't wait!!

    We have a package here for you from BC - sounds like it might be fun so we'll get it to you soon.

    You, Mom and Dad hold a very special place in our hearts - lifelong friends are the best. Keep pressing on cause you & God are doing amazing!

    Love you much,
    Uncle Mattias & Auntie Jan, Reid & Kiersten

    Hugs for mom:)

  5. It is such a treat these days to read your updates. What a wonderful Savior! Thank you, Lord, for answering our prayers for Brent's recovery!

  6. Wow, Brent, the news continues to be encouraging. We will continue to pray for full recovery.
    That was pretty special to have a couple of Rider players visit you. Glad the Riders won inspite of all the errors. You could make better plays, on your high school team, than some of the ones which were tried on Friday (eg. Paul McCallum!).
    Our son, Kevin, had a background role in the movie "The Day the Earth Stood Still". It was shot in Vancouver. Your Aunt Nadine know him.
    Kevin has moved back to Saskatoon and will be going to school in the fall - to get training in an area similar to what your dad is doing at the hospitals.
    You are a fighter, Brent. WAY-TO-GO!! God is obviously "fighting" with/for you.
    Rest well! Love and prayers, Don and Marg S.
    PS. Tell your dad that I bet I can "outyell" him while watching Rider games!! Don
