Brett Cole update as of Tuesday 2/20

Brett continues to strengthen each day. He is able to sleep a little better although he has not yet moved into a bed. He sleeps in the recliner because his neck hurts while laying down.
His appetite is improving and he has eaten some healthy food. Still putting away the Gatoraide.
We picked up his motorcycle today and Brett was already planning how to salvage parts. The bike was not damaged as bad as we thought. Coleen cried. I was amazed that he survived. There was another bike in the yard where the rider perished the previous day. That put things in perspective.
We visit the doctor tomorrow. This will be the first time Brett has heard the extent of his bone damage from a doctor.
Brett remains in surprisingly good spirits. I think Coleen and I are still more upset than him.
We want to thank everyone for the outpouring of gifts, calls, cards, visits, etc. Brett is clearly encouraged by all of this.
I hope to return to work no later than February 26th but I am so thankful for a terrific staff that has handled things in my absence. Great people in the right places doing the right things....
Current prayer requests:
1. Pray for pain in the neck to ease. (We are thankful that this is improving daily.)
2. Continued healing of wounds. (We are thankful that there does not appear to be any infection)
3. Pray for spiritual, physical and emotional strength. (We are thankful that God has provided in this area.)
4. Pray for Brett to have restful sleep.
