Happy 10th Anniverary Scott and Wendy!

Today is Scott and Wendy's 10th Wedding Anniversary! I know many of you remember that day as well as I do! What a party!! They were so young and Scott had a lot more hair! It's so hard to think that they are spending this huge milestone in the hospital today. And while it's terribly sad to celebrate this way I know they are very HAPPY that they have each other to celebrate with.

I am including an email from our friend Pam who was with Wendy at the hospital yesterday. I hope this sheds light on some of what has been going on down at Kaiser in Fontana!

I don't know how to adequately describe the progress Scott has made in the last 2 months. But, if I had to choose one word, it would be"UNBELIEVABLE". Scott was moved today from the Rehabilitation area of the hospital to a standard room.The reason for the move was to provide better care for Scott. Apparently,the Rehab nurses were not properly caring for Scott's bed sore, or for his trach, or other issues. Wendy also spoke to the wound specialists who promised to take the necessary actions to help the wound to heal, and then will work with Scott on some plastic surgery. Wendy will know more over the next few days as to what steps will be taken next.But, as I sat in the room and listened to the hospital employees admit that the care was not up to par, I felt so sorry for Scott. What was amazing tome was that Scott was not feeling sorry for himself. What a great, positive attitude he has. During my entire visit, Scott had a smile on his face.Scott has good use of his arms and hands. Of course, he will still needmore therapy to develop more strength. He fed himself the chocolate covered apples I brought. He held the phone to talk to his kids. Talk to his kids- yes, he spoke on the phone. I was shocked. There is no problem with hisvoice, and I learned that Scott is quite a smart ass. He likes to joke and mess with the nurses.Anyway, a lot more that I could say, but I think that people just have to go see it for themselves...what amazing progress Scott has made. Keep them in your thoughts and prayers. Pam Reinoehl
