Brent in hospital again with infection

Brent came home from school early today and developed a fever. The fever got higher as the day went on. He also was very sore on his left side (sore to the touch) where he had the infection earlier in July. He went to the hospital around 3:00 and was admitted and is now on antibiotics through IV.
Please pray that this infection will clear up soon as we will be in Regina in 2 weeks for the ostomy surgery on the 4th of November.

Thank you for your prayers.

Keep hoping. Keep loving. Keep praying.

Worship in the Amphitheatre.

Camp was awesome I had lots of fun. The trip out was very very long, we drove about 16 hours straight through, minus the bathroom breaks and Tim Horton's. Thanks Alicia and Kiera for being my ostomy nurses for the week of camp you both did a great job. At camp I was in the pirate skits that we do and of course I was a bad pirate. I was on the worship team and I also played the jumba for the slow worship. We had two little puppets that we called Rusty and Bucky and Pastor Angela and myself were Rusty and Bucky. All the chapels were outside, the morning services we set up in an amphitheatre then for the evening service we had to move all the equipment up to the campfire and set up so there was alot of set up and tear down each morning and night. The food was AMAZING thanks to the great cooks at Pines Bible Camp. On the way home from camp we spent 2 days in Calgary. The first day some of the group went shopping while the rest went to the Calgary Zoo. Dad and I stayed at the hotel because I was really tired. Uncle Roy, Auntie Val, Auntie Midge, Randy and Nicole came to visit Dad and I. The next day the group went to the Cross Iron mall and Kyle and I went to bass Pro Shop and had lots of fun in there.
We got back to Saskatoon around supper time and the team debriefed over supper at our house. It was great to be home.

Monday morning came and school started boooooooooo!!!!!!! I'm taking Band and playing percussion. I'm also taking English, Science and Information processing (computer). I haven't been taking my wheel chair to school as I've been walking all around.

We still haven't heard anything about a surgery date still waiting and praying.

Thanks for your prayers .

Keep hoping. Keep loving. Keep praying

Welcome back to the blog. Brent has been having a very GREAT summer. Its been busy.

We had an amazing time at Emma Lake. Thank you so much Don and Maxine for giving us another year of memories.

After we returned from Emma it was time to set up the pool in the back yard. It has been such a relief on these hot days. The family has even been taking a dip before going to bed. The water has been so warm.

Brent was very excited that he could make it to his friend, Amanda's wedding. Lots of fun till the wee hours of the morning. :)

We went out to Grandma and Grandpa Peterson's for a weekend. We helped them out with some yard work and Grandma rewarded us with some fresh garden vegetables cooked in a cream sauce. Thanks Grandpa for sharing from your garden.

Grandma and Grandpa Neufeld came for a visit on the weekend of August 6 - 8th. We had lots of fun, playing some games and visiting. We all went to Uncle Phil and Auntie Pat's on Sunday the 8th.

James, Katie's very best friend and now a very dear friend to us all came for a visit this week. Brent and James went swimming, played xbox, and watched the t.v. series Numbers. We had a great time.

Brent has continued with physio 3 times a week and massage once a week.

Brent is looking forward to August 21st when he leaves with Pastor Rob and his crew that he's gotten together to do a children's camp in B.C. Good luck and traveling mercies as they go.

We have heard that there is a waiting list for Brent's ostomy reversal for 4 - 12 weeks. We are praying for sooner than later. Brent is so ready to get rid of that thing. It's cramping his summer recreation like swimming... ! Thanks for everyone and their constant prayers.

Thank you for your prayers.

Keep hoping. Keep loving. Keep praying.
