Christmas at Grandpa and Grandma's place. It was special as Phoenix was there for his 1st Christmas. NOTICE THE GREEN RIDER THEME!!!!!!!
Brent with Grandpa and Grandma Neufeld in Winnipeg.
The Famous MIGHTY DUCKS of Canora Street in Winnipeg. Christmas was great! We left for Grandpa and Grandma Peterson's on December 23. Had loads of fun with Brent's cousin, Phoenix. Grandma made a big turkey supper on the 24th. After opening presents and brunch on the 25th we left back for Saskatoon so we could get ready for the Neufeld gathering in Manitoba. We stayed at Auntie Susan's .... Brent had fun playing pool on Uncle Gord's very nice pool table. The Neufeld's got together on the 27 and 28th. Brent and Scot played broomball both nights with his Uncle's, Aunties and Cousins. What fun times!!! We then stopped at Estevan and brought in the New Year with Uncle Norm, Auntie Ang and family.
On January 5th Brent and Carolyn headed to Regina to see Dr. Saczek and have a contrast study to see if he could have the ostomy closure done. To Brent's utter disappointment there was a still a leak. Brent got very sick after the contrast study and the abscess infected and filled up. January 10th Brent was admitted to Royal University Hospital. Dr. Saczek asked Brent to see Dr. Miller, a surgeon in Saskatoon. Brent has been put on antibiotics and will have a surgery to clean the abscess site, pack it, and hopefully find out why this abscess keeps infecting and filling up.
Please pray that there will be wisdom and insight during this surgery. The sooner the leak and abscess gets cleaned up the sooner the ostomy can be closed. Brent was really hoping to not have the ostomy this summer. We put our trust in God and the wisdom of the Surgeons God has brought into our life.
Thank you for your prayers.
Keep hoping. Keep loving. Keep praying.
Sooo happy to see an update posted. Brent, you look awesome! Glad you had a great Christmas and really hoping and praying that the doctors can figure out an answer to this pesky problem.

Hi! Brent. Was great to have you at our house this Christmas. Have all so enjoyed our Phone calls. You mean the world to us. Was Praying for you and chatting with mom while you were in surgery. Now that God has a hand in this and will work everything out. We just have to have patience some times. Will talk to you soon. LOVE YOU Aunt suz
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear about this disappointment. It would have been so nice to have the reversal complete. Praying for you Brent as I know it must be frustrating... for you too Car and Scot. Praying that the doctors get to the bottom of why it keeps getting infected. I pray for complete healing at this spot in your body Brent.
