I spoke with Janell late this evening and basically the news is the same. After our conversation, it appears that it will be a good sign if Scott's surgery goes on as planned...that means that his heart is holding up enough to sustain some anesthesia. The doctors have reduced his pain meds so that his body is a little more alert, and they can keep his heart rate up. The pain meds relax him a bit too much. The downside to that is that he is feeling more and is quite a bit more miserable.
The surgery is to repair his nose (broken and crooked) and nasal cavaties (which are completely shattered), his cheeks (using metal plates) and his broken jaw. He right eye has a shattered orbital bone (I think that is what it is called) and although he can see now, it is possible that some loss of eyesight may occur with the surgery. His left eye is cut as well, not as badly as I understand. Still no update on his back, besides the fact that it is fractured at T4 and T5...he still has movement in his arms and legs. Janell said tonight that he is struggling to move his left leg a little.
Scott's friends that were in the truck with him have both visited with members of their families. They are both physically fine, (I haven't heard otherwise) but very upset and concerned for Scott, as can be expected. Extra prayers for them as well would be greatly appreciated.
Please leave comments on this blog if you are comfortable with that...the families are reading and I'm sure would love some messages from the people who love, care and are concerned about Scott.
Thanks again for all the support and prayers. Have a good night Scott. We're thinking about you...
