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.

  3. So special to go back and acknowledge the people who cared for you when they didn't know if you would make it or not. I can't imagine how exciting and encouraging your visit was to them. I know I love seeing you regularly and how you have seamlessly transitioned into a regular 15 year old boy!!! Cute as all but you have that teenage attitude at times too:) Good thing I love ya bud!

    You are my inspiration daily.

  7. Continuing to rejoice and praise God for your wonderful progress!!

    Jeremiah 17:7,8
    ``Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD,
    whose confidence is in him.

    He will be like a tree planted by the water
    that sends out its roots by the stream.

    It does not fear when heat comes;
    its leaves are always green.

    It has no worries in a year of drought
    and never fails to bear fruit.``

  8. Hi you all,
    So glad to hear of your progress,Brent, and also as a family. The postings you give are an encouragement to all of us to keep praying. We meet Grandma & Grandpa Neufeld periodically and ask of you then, too. I agree with others who say you have grown. It is great to hear you are attending half days. I'll bet school is more fun than ever.
    With our continued prayers---
