Home Sweet Home...Without an Ostomy Bag! YAHOO

Dad and I waiting for them to take me into the Operating room



I had McDonalds last night and it tasted AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!




Today Brent is getting discharged from Regina General Hospital. He is very excited.

The surgery was a success. He was not allowed to have food from last Wednesday till yesterday (Monday) but supper was very tasty... McDonalds. The nurse was joking around with Brent and Dr. Saczek. Dr Saczek told him he could eat whatever he wanted but to go slow so his nurse said Brent would only have McDonald 3 times per day, he'd hold back...!

Brent would like to thank Dr. Saczek, the wonderful staff on 6A, and the visitors that came.

Brent is feeling great. He is ready to sleep in his own bed. Carolyn is loving not getting the texts or phone calls saying "I'm leaking", Scot is looking forward to have Brent's help without Brent saying "I have to go Dad, my bag is leaking" (not sure what Brent will use as an excuse now to get out of work...).

Thank You everyone for praying. God is always faithful.

Keep hoping. Keep loving. Keep praying.

Surgery 46 successful

Brent went into surgery around 8:00 AM today and got out around 11:00. The surgery went well. He is resting with his favorite friend "morphine pca pump". He will be recovering for 5-7 days.
Thank you for your prayers and continued prayers as he recovers.

Keep hoping. Keep loving. Keep praying.

Our God Is Faithful!

Praise the Lord! This week we received the call from Regina General Hospital that Brent is booked for surgery on July 20th (8:00 AM) for the ostomy closure. We are all very excited. We have waited (impatiently) and now Brent can hardly wait to do all those things he has missed for 2 years. He says he wants to have sleep overs with his buddies (at their house!), he can hardly wait to be able to swim as long as he wants with out the worry, thankful he won't have to be constantly emptying his bag, (or have Mom nag him to empty it), not always have to worry if its going to leak and who will help him... the list goes on and on. Brent has been very blessed with the support he's had from friends and family helping him with this literal thorn in the flesh. He is looking forward to going into grade 12 without this hinderance.
Our family would like to thank you all for praying so hard that this surgery would take place.


Keep Hoping. Keep Loving. Keep Praying
