Good Results - PTL!!!

Brent with some of his friends from the Laos soccer team.

We drove to Regina on Tuesday and had our Doctor's appointment with Dr Saczek. He informed us that we had a CT test on Wednesday at 11:00. Brent didn't have to be admitted to the hospital so we all stayed at Regina Inn.

We had the CT done and Dr Saczek looked at the results and said YES the reversal can be done as far as he could tell. Dr. Saczeck was going to consult with another Dr. so we stayed in Regina till Friday just in case more tests would be needed.

We didn't need the CT to check the artificial graft as they feel that if there are no symptoms of it being stretched then we didn't need to do the CT.

We went to the World Class Players (WCP) Cup and watched all 4 of the Mens soccer quarter-finals games on Wednesday.

Brent and I went to the WCP again on Thursday and watched the semi-finals. The games were awesome.

We got a chance to visit our friends in MPICU, 6A, and Noreen and the therapists on 5F. It was fantastic to see them again. Brent only got one little water fight in. Kim on 6A was the poor victim.

Now it is the waiting game as to when they will do the reversal. Our prayers are that it will happen sooner than later.

Thank you for your prayers.

Keep hoping. Keep loving. Keep praying.

Off to Regina AGAIN

Brent has had a challenging time but good all the same.
While Brent and Carolyn were visiting in Abbotsford Brent tripped and fell. He hurt his left hip and right knee. He became quite nauseous from the whole ordeal and ended up not eating very well. Brent spent 2 days in the Abootsford Regional Hospital. The staff and Doctors were amazing and took very good care of Brent. Thanks to Dr. Newton and Dr. Hews and all the Nurses on the pediatric ward for such excellent care. We teased Brent that he didn't have to see the inside of every hospital in every city we go to.
Brent and Carolyn would like to thank Kathy and Bill for opening their lovely home to us so we could visit Auntie Dean and Phoenix. It was also great to meet Kay and Anne.
Our first part of the trip home was hard on Brent. He was in quite a bit of pain all over. The second day though was much better. He tolerated a longer day. On the way home Brent, Grandma, Grandpa and Carolyn stopped in to see Uncle Jim and Aunt Elsie, Harold and Edith Larsen, and Uncle Frank and Aunt Hazel.
It was so good to get home to Scot and Harley and our own beds.
It was back to school on Monday the 19th. Brent was pretty tired and his knee was still bothering him alot, but with Travis at physio working on him and getting lots of much needed rest Brent is doing much better.
We are off to Regina tomorrow, Tuesday the 27th to have some tests done to see if the ostomy can be reversed. Please pray for wisdom and guidance for the Doctors.
Brent is looking forward to seeing all of his Regina General friends. Nurses beware... Brent still has that very mischievious side of trying to get you with syringes of water.

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

Fun in the mountains

Brent with his new cousin Phoenix such a cutie!!!!! Love him.

The 2 girls and the 2 boys.

Had lots of fun at Uncle Jasons house. Some good old airsoft gun fun.

Grandma and Grandpa with there grandkids.

Highlights:

Easter holidays were lots of fun. On Saturday April 2nd Auntie Ang, Uncle Norm Alecia, and Elianna came and spent the week with our family. Uncle Norm took Brent to the music store and got Brent a practice pad for drums. Brent loves it ...Carolyn and Scot not so much. Norm also helped Scot with his work bench in the garage. Carolyn and Ang got a little shopping in but Carolyn was busy with physio quite abit and appointments.

On April10th Brent and Carolyn made a spur of the momment trip to Abbotsford. They came with Grandpa to pick Grandma up and got the extra perks of seeing some family. Poor Scot had to stay home to work. :( Our next visit to B.C. will be as a family!

We arrived in Abbotsford on Sunday in one piece... considering Carolyn drove the whole way. Brent was so happy to see his cousins and Auntie and Uncle. Brent never seems to get to see them enough. The last time they had seen Brent he was still in Regina General. They were a little teary eyed when they saw him walk to them.

Brent is still having to do homework while he is away. (NOT LOVING THAT!) Part of Brent and Carolyn's physio is holding Phoenix LOTS!!!! It's hard let me tell you. On Tuesday Brent is planning a sleepover with Parker. He will do lots of hand therapy playing xbox with Parker! He sure has a tough life! Brent and Carolyn miss Scot lots and wishes he was here with them.

Please continue to pray that Brent's tests in Regina (April 27 - 29th) will make it possible for the reversal of the ostomy. Pray for wisdom for the Doctors that they will know how to accomplish the reversal.

Thank You for your faithful prayers.

Keep hoping. Keep Loving. Keep praying.
