I have been negligent, again. Sorry.

Over the past two weeks Brent has had a CT Scan with a drain placed, an Upper GI, and, today, a colonoscopy. Geesh. We are tired of Dr. appointments and procedures.

The Colonoscopy today showed no Crohn's. That is good. :)

Still not sure why he can't eat. All of the tests show no blockages.

We are now inching the drain out over the next 4 days. Woo-hoo.

He is still on two IV antibiotics, and totally dependent on TPN nutrition.

Luckily, Brent has been able to go in to work most days, and work several hours.

We were fortunate to be able to go to Dennis & Jan's cabin above Zion's last weekend. Just Brent, David and I. It was peaceful, except for the fighting hummingbirds, and the chipmunk and bird fights over the bird feeders. It's quite entertaining to watch actually. Did a little fishing at Kolob reservoir, read books, watched movies, and enjoyed not being in Provo.

Well, Brent is sporting a brand-spanking new drain. Woo hoo. :(

Not sure of any specifics, just that it is on the right side again.

Craziness.

When I made reservations for camping for this weekend, I hesitated before hitting the 'enter' button . . . should I or shouldn't I? I did, and now Brent's sick again. Should have known better. Every time we try to make plans to do something, something happens. End of story.

The fevers and pain started on Saturday, Fistulagram and CT on Monday, apparently they were somewhat inconclusive, so another CT tomorrow. Ugh. Enough already. We are already positive that he glows inside. Tomorrow will probably result in another drain being placed. Double Ugh. We seriously have had enough. Brent claims we are still going camping, come hell or high water (highly likely in Utah) :)

Stay tuned for the continuing (depressing) saga . . .
