Update on Dr. Pierce

Good Morning Again!

I have already posted my regular post for the day but wanted to share with you all the email that I just received on Dr. Trent Pierce's condition.

Please continue to pray for him and his family as he has a very long road ahead. He is still not out of danger yet and each surgery holds a great risk above an beyond the normal risks involved with any surgery.

Trent had another five hours of surgery on Friday. They did surgery on the left eye and put in a temporary prosthesis. The plastic surgeon did some plastic surgery around the eye and fractured cheek areas and felt that all the procedures went very well. After a very difficult recovery from all the anesthesia, Trent seems more alert than ever. He looked really great today and wanted to know all about his health. Typical of Trent, he seemed more worried about Melissa, the kids, and the office than himself. When I came into the room he could see me and wanted to know that everything was being taken care of. After I explained that everything was fine, he gave me a thumbs up. He was very grateful for everything that is being done to help his family while he is in the hospital. He was overwhelmed at the generosity of all the doctors who are covering his practice. Tyler headed back to work today and Trent was able to raise both arms and hug him before he left.

With no surgeries planned in the next few weeks, Trent should continue to heal and improve.

The reward fund is now at $15,000. Anyone who would like to contribute can send a check to Fidelity National Bank, 330 West Broadway, West Memphis, AR 72301, 870-735-8700. Make check payable to Crime Stoppers/ Trent Pierce Fund. Any money that isn't used for a reward for Trent will be returned. Hopefully, this will in some way help arrest the person responsible for this.

Again, thanks for everything that is being done to help Melissa from the cards and food to the many errands and prayers.

Have a wonderfully blessed day!
