Update on Kent Boughton

Full story: www.nebraska.tv

We talked to Kent on the phone this morning. He sounds like he's in good spirits, although it's obvious that he's taking pain medication.

Hi, I am Kent's sister. Kent had surgery yesterday, Monday, on his knee. It was less damaged than the Dr. expected so that was good news.
This was a very difficult week for our whole family. Our other brother Craig flew in from Alaska so we were all together. How wonderful to be able to have a conversation with Kent and laugh about how "he looks like he has been hit by a truck".

He still is in progressive ICU so visits should be limited.

Kent's wife, children and grandchildren have been wonderful through all of this and we know there is a long therapy road ahead.

As I run a brain injury facility, I am grateful and feel very blessed that this was not the case with Kent. Of course it is one thing to tease about having enough brains but quite another when you don't, so this really hit home of how lucky he was.

Thank you all for all of your support. NTV has been absolutely wonderful to our family. Kent and all of us could not do this without you. I know that Kent's high spirits and our hopes are because of all of your support, cards. letters and kindness.

Thank you for all you have done for my little brother. He is my heart too. Thank you for keeping him in yours.

Our family has you in our prayers and thoughts. You are such a cheerful person to come home to at night to listen to after a perhaps harried day at our work. We really like all the times you include your family in your wildlife adventures.
The turkies on our farm are simply beautiful.
We always refer to you and Colleen as "Salt and Pepper"..........You are the pepper!!
Ron, Shirley, and grandfamily

Daily Horoscope for November 16

Sagittarius

Take time out to renew your spirit as today's New Moon stimulates the need to spend some time in self-healing. The darkest hour is often before the dawn, but some of the best dreams take place in the wee hours before you wake. Allow yourself to dream wild, brilliant, 'I don't think we are in Kansas any more' kinds of dreams.
