DAD GETS A LITTLE EMOTIONAL

Brent had a great Sunday and Monday. He's wearing his new clothes (which has boosted his confidence greatly). Brently's eating is improving wonderfully - over the last two days he has ate two spoonfuls of jello, two and a half cups of ice chips and one bite of toast. Tuesday night he will be attempting to eat waffles for supper.

Scot and Carolyn (Cary) want to thank everyone at Tommy Douglas school. The students, parents, and teachers, during a lunch hour, had a concert. They also had a bake sale and several donations came in to encourage the Peterson's.

Two kinds of emotions:

Mom and Dad have been concerned with "Little Man" and his emotions. They are looking forward to hearing him laugh and share his emotions. Today, Carolyn (Cary) was sitting with her son and they were watching "Hogan's Heroes". There was a funny moment, Brent turned to his mom and said with a smile, "That's funny". That warmed Carolyn's (Cary's) heart.

Father's day held some surprises for Scot. He received some stuff for his golfing hobby. The greatest gift was the card that Brent gave to his Dad. Also, Brent told Scot that he loved him. Scot, this strong man, was not afraid to show his emotions at that moment (let's just say that the card and words from Brent touched his heart and he became a little emotional).

Brent's Uncle John, Auntie Kathy, Shawna came for a visit. Some co-workers of Carolyn's (Cary's) - Noreen and her daughter Danielle, Dorothy came to visit on Sunday as well. Monday brought Luis and Irene Romero to the Peterson's.

May the Lord continue to bless and strengthen Scot and Carolyn (Cary).
May the Lord continue the Regina General medical and support staff.
May the Lord continue to to have His hand on Brent and continue to heal him to full recovery.

Keep hoping.Keep loving.Keep praying.
