IPOD MAKES IT BETTER

Who doesn't love listening to music? "Little Man's" surgery went great. The Doctor chatted with Scot and Carolyn (Cary) and said that the dressing change went fine plus everything is looking good. Another great day for the Peterson family as Brent slowly moves in the right direction.

Another sign of things becoming somewhat normal is Brent was able to listen to music while the surgery was occurring. Brent was wearing headphones that takes away all the noise from the ICU in Regina General. These headphones help to block out the noise and keep his mind active. Today, during the surgery he was able to listen to Scot's IPOD. Wonder if there was any good music on there?

Scot and Carolyn (Cary) are grateful for your prayers and concern.

Keep hoping.Keep loving.Keep praying.

  16. Hi Scott and Carolyn,

    I was talking to Paul C tonight (it's been about 8 years I think, and about 20 since I have seen you Scott), and he told me about Brent's situation and the existence of this blog. My family and I, and our church will be praying for you and Brent.

  25. Great news! That is way too cool. We are rejoicing with you for the daily miracles and ways God is working. Do you need some Larry Norman or Petra to subliminally infuse into Brent? Sorry, showing my age.
