icu-DaY 11

Ok, here we are on day 11: Trent is still on the vent- hopefully getting closer to coming off of it. Yesterday was a stressful day: Trent went in and had to have his right lung drained, they have atleast drained off a liter of fluid from his lung and he now has a drain. So to add to poor Trent's drains he now has a drain from his lung and a drain from his liver~ Trent is such a fighter and it's SO frustrating to see him go through this. 3 years ago when he was in the hospital it was horrible, we had not come that close to losing him since he was really small and to think that we have had to witness this again 3 years later it scares me, nobody should go through this much pain. Shawn and I and our girls spent most of the day up to the hospital yesterday, it is so hard because I want to be there with him but with my kids it makes it impossible to be there as much as I wish to be. It was sad to see other people there with there family members and sit out in the waiting room with tears coming down because there loved one did not make it. The floor that Trent is on is SO critical~ it just plain sucks to be honest with you and I hate it, I hate that my parents and Jer have to be drained: I worry about the stress of it all. My parents have done such wonders taking care of Trent, I really do not think any of you know; It's so much easier being the person on the outside looking in. So, today while Bryhn was at her summer preschool Danica and I head out to go to the hospital... I was able to spend a few hours with Trent, I loved that Trent is still inside there and fighting as well as he can. He did get upset a few times and was so emotional with the vent in his mouth~ i hope it will be something that comes out soon.. For the most part I believe that things are going in the right direction: Mom, Dad and Jeremy LOVE that saying; Ha ha! It has been a draining few days I think of Brad who I went to High School and feel so bad that such a wonderful person has taken his own life and may never know how much people cared about him. We have been so appreciative of all the prayers that we have recieved and the well wishes: I will post more as the day goes by and hopefully pictures of Trent with out the vent soon....

WERE MOVING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION
