FOUR NURSES PLUS TWO OT'S and a Wii

Good evening everyone,


Just to remind everyone of the following:
  • Brent's healing well and moving forward
  • due to the extent of his injuries, this healing will take a long time
  • Scot and Carolyn(Cary) know that Brent's healing will take some time and are mentally prepared for the length of time they need to commit
  • Scot and Carolyn (Cary) also recognize that there could still be setbacks or other surprises along this long road
  • Blood pressure still a concern - on the high side tonight
  • Brent vomited at 5 p.m tonight - not sure why this is happening
  • Brent watched Spiderman again today - such a teen!
Brent had some great alert and responsive moments today. He had a great visit with Grandma and Grandpa Neufeld - Brent gave them a thumbs up and blew a kiss. Brent initiated waving today and gave some high five's again - very cool. Brent was playing a cooking game on the Wii with four nurses today - maybe he's having a little too much fun (just kidding).

Brent's feet and ankles need some strengthening. Two occupational therapists stopped by today to help Brent. Amy and Lori (the two OT's) made "Jesus sandals" for Brent. They are actually splints with laces that criss cross on his legs and feet. Amy and Lori made these for Brent so the muscles in Brent's feet and ankles can strengthen and heal. The splints will be on for two hours, then off for two hours, then on for two hours, then off for two hours etc..

Brent is in I.C.U in critical condition in Regina healing well.
Pray for:
  • peace for Brent
  • healing for Brent's body
  • for blood pressure to stabilize
  • no more vomiting
  • surgery that will happen on Tuesday
  • strength for Scot and Carolyn (Cary)
Keep hoping.Keep loving.Keep praying.

    I have been following this blog since day one and even though I do not know the Peterson's personally I have come to think of them as family.

    I am keeping this family in my prayers daily and feel thankful that Pastor Clark is updating this blog as often as he is.

    We are all family in Christ, with whom all things are possible.

    Praise the Lord for the miracle of Brent's continued healing and for the strength of his parents dealing with everything.

    Please know you have many brothers and sisters in Christ who are praying for you and want the best for you as well.

    Praise the Lord for He is good!

    Lord Jesus, we tank you for the beautiful work you are doing already. We rejoice in the gift of life and wellbeing and we trust you that you will definitely complete this work of healing in Brent. Thanks Lord for Scot and Cary, they are really a great example of God's love to man, giving everything for the one they truly love, Brent. I pray for your strength and peace for them. That they will continue to find comfort in you and in you alone. Love you three!
