Life at Home

Well Brent has been home for a week plus...and what a week it's been.
This is a rough idea of what a week looks like for our miracle boy.
Every Monday morning Brent goes to see his pediatric doctor, Dr. Bruce for follow up check ups since discharge.
Brent has been going to a school classroom at Royal University Hospital for one hour a day. This next week starting Wednesday he will start going back to his own school Tommy Douglas Collegiate. Brent will start out working an hour in the resourse room for two weeks, then progress to two hours for two weeks until he is attending full time and integrated into the classroom.
Brent is doing physio therapy in the afternoons at CBI (Canadian Back Institute). His therapy is 3 days a week. The spoiled boy gets a 1 hour massage a week. He also goes to counselling once a week.
Some social activities include Youth on Thursday nights, getting together with friends (his "Gaming Buddy"). Tonight he is out at a movie with his friends Reid and Kyle.
We have had Grandma Peterson visiting and helping out this week. We are so blessed to have her here.
When we looks at Brent's schedule for the week we wonder how everything will fit in but it does and God gives our family the strength for each day.

PLEASE PRAY THIS TUESDAY AT 10:00 AM BRENT HAS HIS ECHO. BRENT HAS BEEN FEELING SO GOOD. WE PRAY THAT THE BLOOD CLOT WILL BE GONE, IN JESUS NAME!

Thanks for continuing to pray for our family. You are all an amazing support to us.

Keep hoping . Keep loving. Keep praying.
