Bad Tuesday...Worse Wednesday

Daily schedule has been the norm since the last blog up until the long weekend.
On Friday May 21st Brent went out to spend some time with Grandma and Grandpa Peterson. Scot and Carolyn got some long awaited alone time. Thank you Grandma and Grandpa and Brent. Brent helped Grandpa a little outside while Grandpa was stacking wood.
On Saturday night Brent started feeling sore.
By Sunday Morning Brent was really sore, threw up a small amount and was spiking a temperature. Scot and Carolyn got to Canwood Sunday afternoon. Brent slept most of the day and had a fever. He started perking up a little by the evening but was still very sore.
We spent Monday in Canwood helping Grandpa chop down a very tall spruce tree. Brent watched from the swing. We left back for Saskatoon after supper.
Tuesday Brent went to school but came home early since everything hurt. He went to physio and did a few exercises but once again was sore. After supper Carolyn took Brent to emergency at RUH and they did some blood work and said the kidneys and liver were fine but that there was a sign of an infection. The doctor let Brent come home for night but to come back Wednesday (today) for an ultra sound on his left side. They noted fluid in the soft tissue so the vascular doctor said to put him on iv antibiotics and to be admitted to the hospital. We do not know how long he will be on iv antibiotics or how long he will be in the hospital.
Brent was supposed to be going with his school band to Red Deer, AB and then stay in Edmonton for YC Alberta. He is very disappointed because this will be the second year in a row that he has missed YC Alberta.

Please pray for God's divine healing and that Brent will still make YC Alberta. We also ask that you contimue to pray for a date for the ostomy reversal. We are all very anxious to have that done SOON.

Thank you for all your prayers and support.
Keep hoping. Keep loving. Keep praying.

  1. Sorry to hear that you're not feeling well Brent. Praying that things start to get better and that maybe you can still make it on the band trip. As a former band 'geek' myself, I know how much fun those trips can be.

    Praying, praying, praying that you start to feel better soon.

    Rest well. Stay strong.
