Some ups and downs this weekend

Friday night I spoke with Scott and Wendy in rehab, they were having a fun night. Eating Arby's and laughing together. Scott had taken his first shower and had been outside in a wheelchair for the first time in 3 months. Dressed in his Steelers t-shirt & athletic shorts. They had super great day!

By Monday, things were slightly on a down slide. Remember that bed sore that was an issue a while back? Well, it is still being dealt with. It seemed as if it was slowly getting better although it was quite infected (E. Coli) and had for sometime caused Scott to be in isolation. With the move to rehab I thought they had gotten over that hurdle. Not so! The infection may have gotten into his bone and this will make for many complications. I won't get into all of that until Wendy knows for sure.

There is an IMMEDIATE PRAYER NEED regarding these matters. Scott hasn't felt so great yesterday or today and Wendy is on her way back to the hospital tonight to make sure he is okay and comfortable for the night. Scott is having some stomach pain and labored breathing. He's come so far from the ventilator that of course this is a concern. Please just stop everything and PRAY! I will update you as soon as there is some change or confirmation on the situation.
