It has been a roller coaster weekend. Scott went in yesterday to have the bone removed again and, following the surgery, would not wake from the anesthesia. He was taken to the ICU and was left intubated again. Needless to say, it was a very scary afternoon. I'm sure for Jen it almost felt like we were back to where we were five weeks ago. Luckily, he started to show signs coming out of the anesthesia by last night and by the time Jen had to leave he was moving around again and trying to open his eyes.
Doctors are closely watching the level of fluid that has started building again and are monitoring the pressure on his brain. They have inserted an additional drain to relieve the pressure.
Today Scott remained in the ICU but doctors were able to remove his breathing tube. He is opening his eyes and he gave big smiles to Jen, Andy and Andrea reminding us all, he is doing well and fighting hard.
Keep fighting Scott! We love tbat smile, wish we could be there right now!
ReplyDeleteJennifer, he will pull through this for you and Floyd. Hang in there, we love you lots!
ReplyDeletethanks, Penny, for your updates and Scott and Jen, know we are all praying for resolution to these obstacles ... one day at a time ... get well Scott ... may God grant you strength, Jennifer, and all the family to forge ahead on this stormy journey ... peace be with you all ...
ReplyDeleteWe are thinking of all you constantly. Stay strong Rooster!
ReplyDeleteOh gosh, big huge hugs to all of you - that must have been unbelievably scary. I'm hoping this is the last big scare - surely you have had enough. We kept thinking of you yesterday when there was no immediate update after the second surgery. Although we don't ever get to know what's going to happen next, I solidly believe that it WILL be okay, with time! I know I keep saying it, but just keep going, keep going you guys - even with no update you are all on our minds and in our hearts- love from the Elinoffs in Chapel Hill xxoo
ReplyDeleteKeep smiling Scott. Always thinking about you.
