2nd surgery update

Scott is coping. Janell says the 2nd surgery (to wire his mouth and jaw) was alot worse than the first. Scott is in much more pain and very frustrated that he can't open his mouth. With the repairs that were done for his nose it was hard enough to breathe, but now his mouth is wired shut. All I can think of is anxiety about not being able to breath...
Scott is at his Dad's (Brian) house. He feels so bad right now, the family is not allowing visitors. His overall mood sounds pretty dark, so anything you can do the cheer him up would be great.
Janell and Chelsea came home from Utah after visiting Scott on Saturday. It was VERY hard for them to leave, but there were important things back in Rifle to take care of as well. (Scott is in good hands right now and close to his Doctors if anything was to happen, God forbid.) Janell will make the trip back to Utah in 2 weeks for Scott's 3rd surgery to remove the wire and anchors holding his mouth shut and replacing them with bands. He will have more mobility then and less pain hopefully.
Any support you can give Scott and his family here in Rifle would be greatly apppreciated. What a rough holiday season.
Thank you to all the RHS Football players and coaches that signed his poster and cards, he will be getting those soon. Thanks also to the RHS students that signed the cards for Ms. Skinner...Scott is lucky to have so many people caring about him! Scott's Grandma Cathy has a collection of signs ect. and cards as well, if you'd like to drop something off for Scott with her.
I will write new posts as I hear new news, and definitly after his next procedure. Thanks for all of your prayers and support. Keep it up!!
