Once again ...In Royal Universty Hospital

Hello to all of Brent's family, friends, and prayer warriors. Once again we as a family ask for prayer.

Carolyn took Brent into emergency at RUH on Thursday afternoon because the abscess he had on his left side filled up again and ruptured during the night. His incision also started to bleed Thursday afternoon. The doctors gave him some antibiotics and they ordered a CT scan on the lower abdomen and left side where the abscess was. Brent was able to go home with an IV in his right arm but had to return to Emergency Friday morning. The Doctors ordered a sinogram which put a dye in the abscess to better see where and how big the abscess actually was. It measured 18.5 cm x 10 cm x 8.5 cm . The doctors then suggested putting a drain in. Brent lost a whole unit of blood since the drain was put in at around 4:15 and continues to drain. Brent felt instant relief. He had been taking extra strength tylenol and morphine at times to contol the pain.

Our prayer request are:
Brent will not have or get any infection in these abscesses.
Brent will be healthy and well for the 2nd part of his ostomy reversal which will happen in a few weeks.
Patience for Brent because even though he loves seeing all his friends (the Doctors and nurses on 3000 pediatric floor) he says "Hospital stays REALLY SUCK" .

Thank you for all your steadfast prayers!

Keep hoping. Keep loving. Keep praying.
