Ed called me and said the Brent was hanging in there and remains stable. The doctors are working hard to keep Brent on the path to healing and recovery. This takes time. The good news is that he has not gotten worse and they are so thankful for that! Everything is on track and Brent is exactly where he should be in this process. Once again, they ask for continued prayers and good thoughts for their son. Thank you- thank you!

ET Goes Green in Support of Brent!
Green, Green Everywhere. El Toro fans, players and cheerleaders showed up wearing a little something green to show their love and support of Brent at last night's Varsity Basketball Games. See below for some pictures.
Message to Brent from Mom & Dad
Mom and Dad Love you more than you know. I know to a 17 year old, parents must often seem like merely an obstacle to your freedom. When in fact all we are doing is trying to teach you life lessons and of course keep you safe. Your Family and friends know how strong you are and we are confident that your body and mind will heal. When you are better don't worry you will not be grounded, but please don't expect to go out to quickly LOL We Love you and God is watching over you always. Your Family and friends Love you and many others whom are praying for your recovery. Keep fighting son and please come back to us soon, but if you need more time to heal, we understand. We REALLY miss your laugh and your smile, when your not mad at us and I miss beating you in basketball Ya right.... :-)
LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!

Just spoke to Keith (brother and my future son-in-law) and he said the doctors gave them the results of the CT Scan. The results showed the same results (no change) as when Brent was admitted on Saturday which is good news. There are several marked bruises on the brain. There is no change in his condition which is also good. His numbers are good and steady. They expected the maximum amount of swelling to happen today but Brent is a fighter and he remains stable. He is still critical and anything can change at any time but no news is good news at this time. Keith was sure to pass along his appreciation for all your prayers and well wishes for his brother!

Spoke with Keith and Brent remained stable through the night. No change which is good news! The family thanks you so much for all your prayers and notes. They go on this site every day and read what you have written and it gives them strength. Please keep it up!
Thank you also to everyone for wearing "green" for Brent at school and athletic events. It is very touching to the family.
I should have some idea of a food schedule later today so check back.
Please support Brent by getting your car washed and attending the bake sale on February 20th at El Toro High School.

The family is in need of some meals to be taken to Mission Hospital for lunches and dinners. Sign ups will be posted tomorrow. If you can help out the family check back and sign up.
Thank you for all the donations of snacks and sweets but they have so much that they are asking us to stop those types of food for now.

Brent is still critical and the brain still has swelling which they are monitoring. He is having a CT scan this morning and should know the results within the next few hours. He is still in an endued coma so his brain can heal.
There are no visitors allowed especially in the pediatric ICU where Brent is. The hospital has very strict rules for the health of all their patients. Thank you for your understanding.
Check back later this morning for another update. Keep praying!
