Another surgery

A small amount of new news...Scott's jaw is not setting right so he IS going back to surgery. Originally scheduled for Friday, but if the ENT (Ears, Nose and Throat) Doctor can move a surgery schedule around he may have it as early as tomorrow. (The ENT is however, very surprised with how fast he is progressing.) Scott is not pleased! Janell says overall, he's doing wonderful.
He has been up and slowly walking in the hallways. Not sprinting, but walking. It is exhausting for him, I'm sure. I don't think the doctors have completely "cleared" his back yet, (meaning it's all ok) but they are still having conversations as to whether he needs a brace or not. T4 & T5 are "fractured" not broken....so, I guess we'll see what happens. He could be released from the hospital very soon, depending on the outcome of his surgery.
For you friends out there with Scott's cell #, call and leave him a voice mail...they are playing him his messages daily. There are also, some posters and cards being left on the fence at his Grandma's house...feel free to leave your card ect. or come sign one that's already there.
Don't forget to say those prayers, they sure have been working. Let's also pray that Scott will be back home in Rifle as soon as possible. We miss you Scott and hope you get to feeling better.
Thanks again for everything. What a wonderful little town we live in!

ps. Thanks to Rebecca and Justin for their generosity of lodging help for Janell & Chelsea. You guys are amazing!

Scott, you will be surprised at how much better you feel each time you get up! Your body has been stationary for a long time, but you are young & tough so those doc's better make up their minds quick before you out run them!!!~kc
