Hi everyone. Wow what a year of seeing GOD'S GREATNESS! He showed us miracles, He showed us mercy, and He showed us how He provides. "When we are weak then He is strong."
We can not praise God enough for carrying our family through this year.
Brent had a very good week off of school.
We started it out in the big city of Swift Current, Sk. We went to visit Grandpa and Grandma Neufeld Sunday till Tuesday. It was Carolyn's Aunt Lydia's birthday so Grandpa took us all out to Wong's Kitchen...YUMMY! If Katie didn't have perfect food in Heaven she might have been jealous. It was great fun.
On Wednesday Brent had physio and then a massage. His right side by his aorta bypass was hurting so his massage therapist thought we should get it checked out at emergency. The doctors and nurses were wonderful. They couldn't find any definite reason why it was hurting.
We got home late at night so to say the least Thursday was a sleep in day.
Brent went to physio again. Travis (Brent's physio therapist) is working on Brent's lower half of his body and not on the upper part to be extra cautious not to cause any stress on the bypass. While Travis was working on Brent's legs and feet Brent was able to move his left foot up and down a little and twitch his right one a little also. This is very exciting because he hasn't been able to do this yet. Each day we see God working on healing Brent's body . We made another trip to emerg on Thursday afternoon and the vascular surgeon, Dr. Ulmer came to see Brent. He said he didn't think it was an infection by looking at the blood work, x-rays and ultra sound, not that he totally ruled it out but we are to keep our eye on it. It may be just the different muscles and such being used, maybe some scar tissue.
We leave it in our Great Physcian's hands and will trust Him.
Friday was a relaxing day. Brent had his friend Tara over in the evening. It was a great visit.
Saturday Carolyn's friend Rachelle and her son Ronin flew in from Toronto. While Carolyn was visiting with her friends Rachelle, Heather and Lindsay, Brent had Reid, Kiersten and Ali over for the evening. FUN TIMES!!!!! Sunday after church we all did some serious relaxation. So as you can tell it's lucky there was no school because we were BUSY!
Thanks for your prayers and support
Keep hoping. Keep loving. Keep praying.

Awesome Scot! Praise God. It's been amazing tracking through the blog what God has been doing in your life and family Brent. I would love to hear or read stories from your whole family of the highs and lows of your faith through this journey. What are the differences in your faith from before the accident to now? At what points in the journey did you KNOW the Holy Spirit was alive and moving in your lives? Have you kept a written journal during the past year? Would be amazing to see you guys write a book.
ReplyDeleteAll of God's best in your continued healing Brent, and Peterson family!

So many hard times and even more good times over the past year. It's been such a tough one for your family but it's up, up, up from here. Your strength and faith have been an inspiration to all of us during your journey. You have all taught us so much.

Always thinking of you.
Stay strong. Rest well.

Someone suggested you write a book- in fact you have written a book, with a bit of editing your blogs are the basis for a book. Writing can be theraputic also so if you find the time you can do more. I would love to be able to support your family by purchasing a book.
ReplyDeleteYou all continue to be in our prayers.
ReplyDeleteRemembering with you today....
