Slider door frame rot

I knew about this when we bought the house but I finally realized how bad it had gotten and for my deck project, I wanted to paint the trim around the slider since it was due. So I had to do something.
First I took a putty knife and got rid of all of the soft wood that I could. I also planed it down to make the surface more even after the putty knife work. It is pretty rotted. Here it is after power washing the trim. This end is the worst. The brick mold is gone at the last 3 inches. I could actually repair that with wood but I didn't. Some close-up shots to see what I was left with after digging out the rot.
