Scott has been on the ventilator since Monday morning as they continue his anti-biotics, he is heavily sedated but his vital signs look good. They are waiting for him to get a bit stronger before attempting another weaning test but the doctors are all hopeful that it will be this week.
Thank you for your continued thoughts and prayers.
Prayers for Scott going up.

Prayers for Scott and family
Thank you for the update. Still praying.
Prayers for Scott.
Happy to hear. Thoughts and prayers remain up.
Happy to continue. God is good.
In retrospect, keeping him on the ventilator, or putting him back on it, makes sense. After losing a lung, the machine will probably ease him back into breathing on his own. I would imagine at first breathing would be labored and rather difficult. Is he being kept in a sedated state or induced coma?
Prayers for Scott and the family continue.
Thank you for keeping us updated. Prayers continue for Scott, his doctors, and his loved ones.
Thank you for your continued prayers.
Scott is still fighting on however he has suffered a significant setback and is facing the added complications associated with shingles. It’s likely that the infection in his lung is still not under control and there is a developing scarcity of the anesthetics that have been found to be most effective.
On the upside his kidneys are operating at 100%
Wednesday he opened his eyes briefly and caught me quietly praying the Rosary, Scott suddenly brightened up and nodded his head vigorously, yes. If you are in the habit of praying the Rosary, please remember to include Scott in your intentions. If you have ever considered learning to pray the Rosary, on Scott’s behalf I humbly request that you make an attempt during this Lenten season.
God Bless you.
Kidneys working is good. Take it from a man with just one left.

Prayer sent and will keep him and your family in our nightly pray.
God Bless and may he give you all strength and healing.
Well,,,,no Rosary for me. But my prayers are up for him!
Prayers continue.
I understand shingles is very painful, so not what Scott needs right now. Can’t they get the meds that work for Scott shipped out to HI? Is there scarcity nationwide?
Your whole family has been in my prayers daily.
Consider it done. Fight on Scott.
we are with you......
I am now making a comittment to pray the Rosary for him.
May the Lord’s mother Mary in heaven hold him in her arms to give him comfort and may the Holy Spirit be with you all.
