Home Again ... At Last

Brent was discharged from Royal University hospital on Sunday Aug.21st. He was feeling better and the Doctors and Nurses were not doing anything different from what Dad and Mom could do at home. Carolyn and Scot were grateful that the Doctors kept a watchful eye on Brent for a little longer to make sure he was tolerating a "normal" diet. The Doctors are treating his symptoms as irritated bowel syndrome. Brent is on a reduced fiber diet so his bowels will have time to heal with as little stress as possible. He still feels quite a bit of discomfort in his stomach but we've been told this could be for awhile and is to be expected after his surgery. Brent's bowels have to be retrained to function after "sleeping" for 2 1/2 years.
Our prayer is that Brent will feel perfectly well by the time he returns back to school.
Keep hoping. Keep loving. Keep praying.

Brent back in hospital - Aug 1

Brent & Carolyn returned home from Regina on Tuesday. Brent felt okay till Wednesday night when Carolyn took Brent back to Emergency at Royal University Hospital. He had some chest xrays done and Brent got home Saturday morning feeling better. We all enjoyed the pool in the afternoon and went to church on Sunday but he started to feel pain in his ribs on his left side and his stomach was distended and hot to the touch.

Car just took Brent to Emergency again at 2:30AM on Monday Aug 1st.

Please pray that they will figure out the chest pain and why he still seems to have so much pain in his stomach.


Keep hoping. Keep loving. Keep praying.
