Good morning and thank you to all of you for your offers of prayer and help.
My stepfather and sister are from Florida and have been staying at the Courtyard Marriott hotel in Palm Springs, which I can only assume, is not too far away from the Desert Regional Medical Center where Scott is. They have been there since Monday or Tuesday.
Scott is from Montana and had flown his boss down to Palm Springs for the weekend. Sunday he was hit by the 19 year old kid. Anyway I was concerned about them being so far from home with no friendly faces to give them support only strangers in a hospital and hotel that I thought perhaps if I could find a connection with a church or something someone might be willing to stop by and help keep Dick and Bonnie company. While they have had constant telephone contact with family and co-workers of Scott's, it can not take the place of actual human contact. It is going to be extremely hard for them as last night they were told by the doctors that due to the extent of the head injuries Scott is not expected to recover. They are now faced with the decision to allow the doctors to go ahead and harvest Scott’s organs for donations.
Another FReeper was kind enough to provide me with the phone number of a Christian Worship Center in Palm Springs which I will be calling a little later this morning.
Thanks again to all of you....
And to Mike, thank you for attempting to reach me I am sorry we did not make the connection but it is the thought that counts.
Sincerely,
Don Ruedisueli (Zcat)
