More Surgery Needed


Scott is headed for surgery now.  Doctors need to relieve swelling that is occurring at the base of his brain which is currently preventing his brain from being able to absorb necessary fluid.  He will be in surgery this morning and it should take a few hours.  Doctors are reporting that he still remains in a very critical stage where the swelling in his brain is increasing.  Again, it is impossible for anyone to say when he will be out of the woods but the doctors are saying that as long as his brain is still reacting to the injury – swelling and possible hemorrhaging – we are not yet in the recovery phase.  They are saying that this phase usually lasts 72 hours or so.  I will post an update following his surgery.
