Thank you everyone who prayed for Brent's infection so that he would be able to go to YC Alberta. Your prayers were answered.

Brent's antibiotics are almost done and he will see the Doctor tomorrow. He has had no more pain in his side. Good sign!

Brent's trip to YC Alberta was EXCELLENT!!!! Brent and Carolyn went together on Friday night. Brent thoroughly enjoyed everything especially Thousand Foot Krutch. Carolyn realized she was WAY TO OLD for such a band.

Saturday Brent went to YC alone and hung out with the other youth from Elim. He did very well on his own. Thanks to everyone who hung out with Brent in his wheel chair area. Brent was able to get his Thousand Foot Krutch CD signed. He was thrilled with that. Brent also got to spend a lot of time with one of the performers from Junkyard Poets, Cameron Strohschein.

Sunday our family and Uncle Dwayne , Auntie Barb, Ryan, Tanner, and Jaeda all went out to Olive Garden. Yummy! This is a tradition with Uncle Dwayne. Then we all spent time at West Edmonton Mall. In the afternoon Brent and Scot went to the final session of YC. Brent and Scot thought Skillet was great. YC ended at 6:30 and it had been a long day so the family decided to stay an extra night in Edmonton instead of getting home so late and being tired the next day.

Tuesday was school in the morning and then Brent had a Fit Assessment in the afternoon. This assessment was to see how Brent was doing in his rehabilation. The assessment was Tuesday afternoon and all day Wednesday. He saw a Physiotherapists, Psychologist, Occupational Therapist, Chiropractor, and a Doctor. After everyone had seen Brent they discussed how best to continue Brent's rehab.

The rest of the week was school as usual.

Brent is doing well in school. If he keeps working hard he will get his Grade 10 Math and English. His Social will be almost be done but his teacher has said he can finish it during the summer. He also will take an exam in Band and if he passes he will get his Grade 10 Band credit also. We want to thank the teachers for all the extra help they have given Brent in helping Brent accomplish this goal of gettting these credits.

We still have no word on a date for the ostomy reversal. We ask for your continued prayers concerning this.

Thank you for your prayers.

Keep hoping. Keep loving. Keep praying.
