As some of you may know, Scott Webb left Rifle on Monday 11/24 to visit his Dad and extended family in Spanish Fork, Utah for the Thanksgiving holiday. In the early hours of Wed. 11/26, he was with some friends and involved in a rollover truck accident. His injuries were severe and required him to be life flighted to a hospital in Salt Lake City, where he currently is being cared for.

Scott is in ICU. His mom, Janell; sister, Chelsea; and grandmother, Cathy; have been there at the hospital with him, since early in the day on Thursday. His dad Brian and extended family in Utah are also at his side. The remaining members of Scotts' Rifle family are making the trip to Salt Lake over the next couple of days.

Scott is responsive and is able to talk some. He suffers from a broken back (no paralysis), broken ribs and a great deal of internal facial damage (broken nose, cheekbones, broken jaw). He also is having complications from bruising to his heart and lungs. Because the doctors are most concerned about his heart and lungs, they have not placed Scott in a brace or anything for his back. He is in a collar for his neck. Although, he's able to communicate, he is by no means "out of the woods". At this time, he is scheduled for surgery to repair his facial damage Saturday morning. The family has been told the surgery will take approximately 5 hours. The doctors are monitoring his stability closely, to be sure this surgery will be possible.

At this point, all we can do for Scott is pray and continue to support his family. Please feel welcome to bring cards, signs, pictures, ect. to Scott's home in Rifle...I will be sending the cards to his mom at the hopital to share with Scott.

This time of year, while we are showing thanks for the blessings we all have in our lives, let's also be thankful for God watching over Scott during this time and ask for his guidance in helping him to make a complete recovery from this terrible accident.

I will update this blog as I hear from Janell and keep all of you informed of Scott's progress. Thanks for keeping Scott in your prayers~Debbie
