Here's the latest on our good friend Scott. This is from Dano...who, by the way, is handling all of this (at least on the outside) remarkably well.
Scott had a tracheotomy performed yesterday morning around 10:00 AM and the surgery went well. He is still on the ventilator but the trach will give him more flexibilty in his head and neck. It will also allow the lessions on Scott's face (from the ventilator) to be mended-up now that those tubes are elsewhere.
As of this printing, Scott's ventilator is set at 30% and 8 peeps and he is retaining 95% which if great results, especially considering minor surgery less than 24 hours ago.
Please hit you knees members.
Thanks, Capt. Chris

God Bless for Scott's recovery; prayers for him and his family!

Thanks! Capt.

Continued prayers from East Texas!!!!

Captain, Thanks for the update. Stay tough Scott!

We got a pretty good update on Scotty today!

He is slowly coming off sedation and intravenous pain meds. He opened an eye today to look at Gail and squeezed her hand <3. He's getting 99-100% saturation from his oxygen,with Vent still set at 30%, so it's good that it's going up and holding. And no fever.

He still has a long way to go, but today's report is a very positive 1!

Keep the prayers coming for Scotty and Steve White! I know they are DEFENITELY felt and appreciated!

Thanks James. That’s the update we are seeking for sure.
Prayers continue.

Members,
There's no simple...nor easy, way to say this. Scott has taken a turn for the worst. I just received a text from Dano stating that Scott had a reaction, possibly from being taken off of his meds, and coming off of the sedation. As a result, Scott vomitted and instead of that vial discharging out of his throat it went into his lungs! Do to this, along with the pneumonia in his lungs, Scott went into critical condition!
The nurses and Doctors had to (In Dano's words) paralyze Scott and his ventilator is back to 100%. The Doctor is giving him 24-48 hours to come out of this. Dano has asked his Mom to give Scott the full 48 hours and we all know Scott is a fighter. Until this set back the medical staff was amazed at Scott's progress.
Please pray for all concerned and also for the Doctors and nurses who are involved. This is Gail and Dano's wishes...as well as mine, thanks.
Capt. Chris
