STEADY GOES THE HEALING

Steady is the best word to describe how Brent is doing today. The CT scan yesterday was just routine and everything's fine. Since about 11 a.m. today (Thursday, March 26) Brent has been breathing on his own (off the ventilator). He has an oxygen mask over his trach. Like so many typical teenagers, Brent has been sleeping most of the day.

Brent was awake for a short time today - just long enough for Mom and Dad to say hi and pray with him. When Scot and Carolyn (Cary) left tonight Brent was still breathing on his own.

A PRAYER:

"Father, when doubt or unbelief starts to fill Scot and Carolyn's mind and heart concerning healing, I pray that they will focus on the words of Jesus, 'Do not fear, only believe' " (Mark 5:36). Lord Jesus, You have been exalted as Lord over all. This includes all sickness and disease. In your name and through your power, we pray that you would remove sickness/infection from Brent's life (Philippians 2:9-11).

Scot and Carolyn (Cary) Peterson thank everyone whose sharing in this journey with them and their son, Brent.

The memorial for Katie Rose is Friday, April 3 rd at Elim Tabernacle in Saskatoon. The obituary for Katie Rose will appear in the Star Phoenix paper this Tuesday, March 31.


The journey continues for Brent's healing from the city of Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada........................................

  2. Rejoicing with you that Brent is now breathing on his own. In the words of Psalm 150 "PRAISE THE LORD....Let everything that has breath, PRAISE THE LORD". To God be the GLORY, GREAT things He has done.
