Update on Trent...Day by Day... It wil be ok.... PLEASE Pray for our bud!

Wow, it sure has been a long few days. Trent is such a fighter and we have been so blessed for 26 years. I am not sure how to take this situation again.
So, lastnight was hard to sit there and see my brother intibated on a ventilator swollen from the vent and on 100% oxygen and getting peeps at 22 given to him. I was so numb standing by him I almost passed out. It's hard to watch my sibling Jeremy suffer along with me and feel the helplessness. In our lives with Trent most of the time if one person can help him it is always another who can~ standing there next to him and being unable to do ANYTHING to help Trent was awful. It's hard to hear that he went into A-Fib ... How scary is that! Too Close for comfort. I can hardly believe we are in this situation again.. Please Trent pull through this. It was so cute in the car driving yesterday when my 4 year old Bryhn said "i just said a prayer that Trent won't die". I just about lost it. I am not sure the world really knows how much we love him, I actually feel like if you don't have a Trent in your lives your really missing out on what love is really all about. It was hard in the trauma unit watching another Family say goodbye to there Father, Dad, Son! This Father had been in a 5 car accident where he was sitting in the lane and the truck of a 17 year old slammed into him sending him into death. A nurse passing by after her shift stopped and started CPR, she then brought his heart back and he was life flight to the hospital...
Last we heard there was no brain wave and her kids were there just crying, my heart broke even more: I was not sure what room or where I wanted to be at that point. I am not certain he passed, but almost certain since no family was there today. I have the deepest sympathy for this family and there amazing mom and wife; She was SO strong. Now, back to Trent: my Dad called this morning and asked when we were going to make our way up to the hospital.. I told him when we would do so and then he asked if I knew a girl names Gina from middle and high school; I said is her maiden name Hendrickson? Yes, he said: I knew at that moment my sweet brother was in the best of hands. Gina is such a great girl... and yes I have told her she needs to get on facebook, time will tell. Trent was at 70% oxygen and 14 peeps, so that was good. Nothing really has changed, they did take him a little off of the paralyzing drugs at a point where I was in there by myself and he was really trying to fight and pull the vent out, I tried to calm him down and once both me and Jeremy had one of our hands in his that was all it took to calm him down. Sweet Trent, nobody has a clue how much love we have for you.
I have been blessed with such WONDERFUL comments on facebook a few I wanted to post since one day my blog will be turned into a book for each of my children.
Jared Denslow Today at 6:24pm My prayers are with your brother. I teach special ed, and kids with special needs are amazing! Heavenly Father will always be there for your family. Please let me know if there is anything I can do. Terilyn Moffett at 12:31pm May 31 Shalise, I am sorry for what you guys are going through. Your mom is an amazing woman and she will be greatly blessed for all she has done for Trent. We will continue to pray for him and the rest of the family. Thanx for keeping us all posted on him Shane McEwan at 9:17pm May 30 Shalise, It hit me pretty hard reading your blog. I remember the day that Trent was born and it amazes me all of his progress over the years. He, and your family have gone through soo much. YES Trent is without a doubt a fighter. I will keep him in my prayers. Ashley Veenendaal at 11:45am May 30 Sweet Trent and all of you are in my heart. Thanks again for the wonderful thoughts and prayers, without all your help we would not be able to get through it. I LOVE my Family....Hang in there Trent, the cat will not survive without you pulling his tail, the Beer drinking buddies will not survive your presents: The Dollar Tree will no longer be in business if I am not getting you atleast 5 t 6 helium balloons more then just on the weekends... (unless you can beg me enough or Shawn enough to just get you some when were there). Trent YOUR AMAZING, what an inspiration to those who have been in contact with you. Gina Thanks for the WONDERFUL love and care you gave to him today; Let's hope he new day will be a better day, let's hope my cute mom can get through this without causing more issues with her own health with her own heart. until 2morrow...
