- Brent's ventilator is at 30 % oxygen
- a test today proved that his kidneys and liver are functioning well
- his blood pressure is doing well
- heart rate is a little high
Incredibly, Brent has been responsive today. There were brief moments of opening his eyes. Mom and Dad were by his side again encouraging him on in this fight for his life. When holding his parent's hands, Brent gently squeezed his Mom's hand. Carolyn (Cary) asked Brent if he could blow a kiss to her and he responded to her request. Who would ever think that blowing a kiss to someone would be so big and important? Carolyn (Cary) ecstatically received that kiss from her 'Little Man.'
Thank you to the medical staff at Regina General and all the support staff that are guiding the Peterson's through this journey.
Thank you to everyone for your prayers and notes of encouragement you've attached to this blog. The responses to the blog are a source of healing for Scot and Carolyn (Cary).
Keep hoping.Keep loving.Keep praying.

All I can say is thank you God, for sustaining Brent, and for such encouragement. Holy Spirit, that you would envelop Brent with your presence and your Healing power this day. Give him good healing days, and continue to bring strength, encouragement, and faith into the hearts of his parents. Our hope is in YOU. Trudy & family
ReplyDeleteLove kisses from my son...one day he said I can't do that anymore in front of my friends...but then a few days later he said I don't care if my friends see me I can give you a bear hug too...so I know how each makes me feel...That must be one of those precious gift - getting a kiss from your son!! So glad how strong Brent is fighting...good for you!!
ReplyDeletePraying and hoping for you!

What wonderful news! I am sure the medical team is touched by all these miracles when they read these notes. Thinking of you Brent, Scott and Caroline. Will pray for you all each day and believing the Almighty will show more miracles each day..
ReplyDeleteWe are so happy to hear that Brent made it through and is responsive!Praise God from whom all blessings flow! The following is a poem I wrote for all three of you;
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing anyone could possibly buy or any words they could say,to take away your hurt and pain - but I wanted to write this poem for you today.
We lift you all in our Prayers and hold you near to our heart,our sympathy is with you,for it is with your dear loved one that you had to part.
It is God that has sustained you in this hard journey you are going through and your example of Faith and amazing strength is not something that most people could ever do.
We pray for God's blessing to pour over all of you - for supernatural strength and healing and the peace of the Holy Spirit to comfort you and help bring you through.
May God's beautiful light shine into your lives and take away the tears that fill your eyes, the sun will shine again-somehow-someday,in God's will and time your tremendous pain he will heal and wash away.
Love- in Christ, Jeanette Seed & Family.

We continue to pray for you all and trusting that God continues to hold you all in the palm of His hand and is meeting your every need! Keep those kisses coming Brent!! Your mom needs them!! God bless you all! Love, The Dyck's, Prince Albert
ReplyDeleteTruly amazing story you guys are living. So glad Brent is stable after such an incredible day of surgery. And it touched me that he was able to blow a kiss, and was willing to. Many teenage boys would never even consider it whether asked or not. Way to go Brent, even now, in the midst of pain and fear, making your mom and dad happy. We're Continuing to ask God to heal you fully,in every way.
