Day 5...Good News!!







Scott has successfully come through surgery and is doing well. His heart rate is pretty stable at about 50 to 70 beats per minute. At his worst it was at about 20 beats per minute. His Mom reports that he's not as bruised as she thought he might be and looks real good considering what he's been through. If all continues to go well, he might be moved from ICU today! All of your prayers continue to work!
The doctors haven't said alot, but will now focus on the issues with Scott's back. He is still moving both arms and legs. (He was having difficulty moving one leg, but it couldv'e been how he was positioned or laying.)
Scott's Colorado family has left and are driving home...we wish them all a safe trip. Janell and Chelsea remain there in Salt Lake with Scott. Scott's Utah family is at the hopital as well...many Utah friends of Scotts' have also trickled in and out. Chelsea has recieved many text and calls from friends here in Rifle...Janell knows that if he were closer to home you would all be at the hosptal keeping 24 hour vigil. That also comforts her heart. She knows we all are thinking of Scott and the family and she appreciates each and every one of you. Many thanks for all the love and prayers, and the many church families that have included Scott in their prayer chains. The power of prayer IS amazing!
Enjoy the new pictures...Chelsea took them recently.
Keep checking back for updates~Debbie
