It has been six days since Scott's original trauma. The aorta dissection caused such a shock to his system, his team of doctors have been concerned about his blood circulation to his lower body. Initially, Scott had cardio-vascular surgery to bypass the disruption in his aorta. This morning, he was taken into his fifth surgery for complications to his body that occurred when the dissection happened.
Scott has remained stable in the cardio vascular intensive care unit. Because he is in ICU, only his immediate family is allowed to be with him. We have worked out shifts on a day-by-day basis for family members to stay with Scott. Because he has had multiple surgeries, he remains sedated while in ICU. He is responsive to our voices, laughter and commands. And that gives us great hope.
Krista,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the updates! Whatever you do , do not lose hope.. when all seems lost there is comfort in hope.. You are all very strong and courageous especially Scott.. With all of the love of his family he will pull through this.. You all continue to be in our thoughts and prayers.. ICU is the best place for him right now.. the ICU nurses were the angels that pulled my dad through and they will pull Scott through.. My grandma always use to say to us growing up, "If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you." Please know we are a phone call away, night or day, whatever your precious family needs we are there! Lots of Love, Robin and John
