DAD THINKS HE'S GOT ALL THE POWER

Tuesday morning at Regina General:

  • Scot and Carolyn (Cary) try to find a parking space (why is the parking at that hospital so stressful for the families of patients?)
  • Carolyn (Cary) is dropped off and goes to see her son Brent
  • Carolyn (Cary) begins to read a teen devotional book to Brent
  • Scot finally finds a parking spot and makes his way to Brent's room in a good mood (cause we all know that Scot's always in a good mood!)
  • Brent is the same as last night - resting, blood pressure low, 25 % oxygen on respirator
  • Scot walks in talking and Brent hears his Dad's voice
  • Suddenly, Brent's eyes open wide for awhile and he looks at his Dad
  • That made Scot's day so far - being able to look at his son's eyes and have Brent looking back
  • The healing journey continues..........

Keep hoping.Keep loving.Keep praying.

    I am crying as I read this. Knowing that Brent's baby steps are going in the right direction is going to help me in my little battle.
    Scot, remember I told you to give Brent a kick in the butt at the funeral. This is so much better for him. Continue to tease, you have him going the right way.

    Continuing to pray, love, and hoping.

    Hugs, and love

    We may be faint and weary, but our heavenly Father is all-powerful. Our feelings may fluctuate, but He is unchangeable. Even creation itself is a record of His steadfastness. That's why we can sing these words from a hymn by Thomas Chisholm: "Summer and winter, and springtime and harvest, sun, moon, and stars in their courses above, join with all nature in manifold witness to thy great faithfulness, mercy, and love." What an encouragment to live for Him! Our strength for the present and hope for the future are not based on the stability of our own perseverance but on the fidelity of God. No matter what our need, we can count on the Father's faithfulness.
