God's Been Good In My Life

I want you all to listen to this song. I haven't been able to get this song out of my head since Brent's been out of surgery. It says it all! Right now I am waiting for visiting hours to start at 10 this morning. Thanks so so so much for all the posts that has helped all of us so much more than we can say! Enjoy!

    Dear Trudy,

    I can totally identify with the words of that song and I feel God is praised every time we can share that although our lives have had pain, through it all HE is SO good! It makes the unknown peaceful because HE has never failed us. Keep looking up!

    Brent: You are our sunshine, we love you and are praying for comfort through the recovery process.
    Trudy: Your blog is so special, we cry as we read it together, but the tears are tears of joy and thanksgiving. "God Is Good" is sure a fitting song for you two. We haven't heard it before......but, it's on our 'favorites'. We appreciate your posts and check for them often.
    Parents: You are such an important part of the support team. (As well as all the siblings)
    We pray for all of you!
    Please give Brent a squeeze from us. (soft)

    We rejoice with you and continue to thank God for this miracle. We had a prayer for you at a Wiegand family gathering at Leman's and Pam gave us an update from Roxy. We were all so excited to hear the good news that surgery was a success and that you can breathe easier. You are both in our prayers.

    Trudy, as this day comes to a close rest well my friend, with knowledge that God has his hand on Brent's shoulder and will also let him rest and heal. Hoping each day gets easier and painfree for you Brent. The two of you are such a strong couple and God's graces are shinning on you both.

    Love and continued prayers,
    Marty and Don

    Dear Brent & Trudy
    May God keep His arms tightly about you, lifting you Higher than ever before, resting in His Promises, leaning on His Everlasting Arms, flying high because of His Grace.
    Loved the pix of suburban wailing into the hospital with precious lungs! Gave me duck bumps.

Good evening! First thing this morning we went to Chicago to meet with the Dr who will be over seeing Brent’s photopheresis treatments. We had all of our questions answered and are hopeful that the treatments will work.  His first treatment will be Thursday morning of this week and we will have to go again on Friday. The treatments have to be done in Chicago and-we were glad to hear-the treatment will only be 2 hrs long!! The one side effects he has is that he can’t be exposed to the sun the first 24 hrs after treatment. This is because they use UV light in the treatment and it takes 24 hrs for his body to absorb any excess of the UV sensitive drug that may be in his body.    Other than that he should feel the same as usual!  He was also scheduled to get a port (under the skin) placed today. After checking his arms they concluded that they didn’t need the port because he has great veins!  We appreciate all the love, support & prayers everyone ha...
