Farmville Fun

Brent with Grandpa Peterson.



Brent was driving the John Deere. Keep all your pets and kids off the sidewalk.


Brent with the Farmville group.

Highlights:
Brent is doing amazingly well. Physio is going fantastic. Brent continually keeps his therapists on their toes. They plan a weeks worth of things for Brent to do and he does it in a day or two. A few things he is working on now is balancing, kicking around the soccer ball, working on the foot drop, strengthing with therabands.
We are so proud of him.
Brent is now going to school all morning till 2:30 in the afternoon. He started this on Monday the 29th. He was pretty tired after the first day. (That was because of all the fun he had in Canwood last weekend).
Brent is helping with small groups and the worship team in Children's church. Brent enjoys this ALOT!
Besides all of that Brent is still enjoying youth on Thursdays, hanging out with friends, playing his gaming systems, going on xbox live with his cousin Parker, and eating ALL THE TIME!!! Yes its true the boy is a bottomless pit. (PTL) He is finally eating and nothing seems to bother him. He hasn't put on much weight but at least he is eating.


Brent misses Katie greatly. We all miss her.

Thank you for your prayers.
Keep hoping Keep loving. Keep praying.

Please pray for Brent's upcoming 2 or 3 days of testing to see if the ileostomy can be reversed.

Highlights:
Weekend of March 6th
Brent invited some 20+ friends and family to come to our place and celebrate the 1 year anniversary since the accident and remembering Katie.

Week of Mar 8th to 10th
We went to Regina as Brent had some doctor's appointments. He saw his Pediatric Surgeon and we discussed the possibility of reversing the ileostomy. He saw his vascular surgeon and everything looks good. He also saw his back surgeon and the x-ray showed that everything is fine and good.

We will be going down to Regina for 2 to 3 days sometime after Easter to get some tests and x-rays done to see if Brent's ileostomy can be reversed. Brent will also be getting a CT scan and other testing done to check on his artificial graft to make sure it is doing well.

Week of March 15th
Brent is now going to school for 3 hours per day (full mornings).
Brent is still doing physio at Canadian Back Institute 3x a week.
Brent continues to have 1 massage and 1 chiropractor appointment per week.
Brent is also having counselling appointments.

Thank you for your prayers.
Keep hoping. keep loving. Keep praying.
