Home Sweet Home

After a week and three days in Royal University Hospital the Doctors gave Brent the boot. Seriously though on Monday Nov. 22nd Brent had another ultrasound and as far as the radiologist could tell there was no fluid, or even a pocket to be seen. Praise the Lord.
On Nov. 23, Carolyn and Brent went to Regina to see Dr. Saczek. Scot was unable to go so Carolyn's AWESOME friend, Heather drove to Regina with them. Brent saw Dr. Saczek on the 23rd to check out the drain sight and abscess and to answer a few questions. He felt that the hematoma could have just been a result of the extra blood thinner Brent got after the surgery. He ordered a contrast study done and a sinogram on the 24th. These tests showed that there was a possibility that the abscess may be connected to the colon. (Not guaranteed but maybe, the radiologist could not say for sure.) The contrast study showed that there was possibly a VERY small leak from the place where they had attached the intestines (the last surgery) but once again the radiologist couldn't guarantee this. Sooooo the next apointment is on Jan. 5. They will redo these tests and see what they find. See if anything has changed. If everything looks good Dr. Saczeck will do the closure of the stoma. This is Brent's deepest desire and prayer request.
Brent went back to school on Nov. 29 for a few days but came down with a cold and was having bad headaches so he once again missed school. He is getting better and will be back at school on Monday Dec. 6th. He has been trying to keep up with his studies at home. The teachers are all so great to keep him up to date through emails. Thanks to Tommy Douglas Collegiate teachers.

Thank you for your prayers.

Keep hoping.Keep loving. Keep praying.
