An Update from a Ward Member...

The following update is copied from a comment in a previous post. Hearing from people who have seen and visited with Zerin is much appreciated by his friends and family back home, and by all who care about the Petersen family.


My husband and I are in one of the wards Zerin was serving in when he had his accident. We visited him in the hospital this afternoon and were amazed at his progress. He was able to lift one hand from resting in his lap up to his armrest on his wheelchair all on his own. He also is able to feel his ankles and Achilles tendon and I think some toes. He said he's working on moving his fingers. He was so talkative and positive and just seemed full of life. We wheeled him outside for almost an hour and let him sit in the sun by a water fountain with his mother.


He was excited that he'll be able to go out on a "field trip" to a lake next week with the rehab group. He's also looking forward to having water therapy in a pool starting next week. We were so impressed by both his and his mother's spirits today. He said they like to have visits from local ward members, especially on weekends when he doesn't have therapy.


Keep praying, it's definitely working!
