- the dialysis machine is off - they even took the line out from his body
- the trickle feed line is still off (due to Brent vomiting a few times today)
- Brent is still breathing on his own (with the trach assisting)
- He's moving his arms and fingers well
- On the whole, he is alert during the day and having good sleep at night
- Brently's doing a great job moving and lifting his legs (today he moved them higher than yesterday and has great kicking motion with his legs)
- Carolyn (Cary) is reading the Chronicles of Narnia to Brent and he's loving it....they are on Chapter ten
The greatest challenge is that his blood pressure is not stablizing (even while he's sleeping). Pray that his blood pressure would stablize totally and not spike.
Scot and Carolyn (Cary) have just completed day 56 of their new reality. These committed parents are with Brent as much as possible to encourage him to greater strength and full healing.
Carolyn (Cary) is enjoying her walks in the morning.
Scot is enjoying the soccer games he's attending and that his hockey team, The Boston Bruins, just swept the Montreal Canadiens away.
SLOW and STEADY is the name of the game right now. Thank you for your patience and for praying for this great family.
Keep hoping.Keep loving.Keep praying.
