My Brother-In-Law Scott is very ill
He was clearing brush in Hawaii and contracted a very aggressive Staph infection. He tried to battle the illness by himself for three weeks before calling for help and by the time the doctors discovered what was causing his symptoms, a great deal of damage had already been done, especially to his lungs. He is now in Septic Shock, his blood pressure is extremely low and the prognosis is not good.
Continued prayers for Scott. He’s a fighter.
Prayers continue for Scott.
Thank you for keeping us posted and I”m heartened that he knows you are praying for him. May God continue to watch over him. Continue to keep him in my prayers.
I will do so, continued prayers said for Dear Scott. God Bless you!
Thank you again for your continued prayers.
Scott has dodged another bullet and is once again stable however perched in a most precarious balance between life and death. They have moved to a split vent tube with a balloon that will prevent pressure on the stump of the airway that went to his right lung, this should prevent the leakage of air into his chest cavity. The bronchoscopy looked good and todays lung x-ray is a bit better then yesterdays. Scotts white blood cell count had gone all the way down to ten but has now skyrocketed, were not sure what to make of that.
Great Scott I am not sure how or why it happened but while Ann and I were visiting with Scott and his brother on the day we had to return home, we asked Scott if he wanted to live. He was still nodding his head no to a previous question and suddenly stopped nodding, we all fell silent and were afraid to ask the question again but I did and he vigorously nodded his head YES!
Your prayers are powerful and amazing, God Bless each of you.
Prayers still ascending.
Sending more prayer.
Thanks for the update. Still praying.
Along with prayers, I just want to send you a hug. I know this must be very difficult. Thank you for the update.
More prayers for his continuing improvement.
Prayers sent for Scott.
Lord our God, be near Thy servant Scott.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, amen.
The glimpses you’ve given of Scott have been amazing. His reaction to your praying the rosary, asking if he wants to live. By God’s good grace, Scott will make it through all this. And we will be praying for him every step of the way.
Thank you everyone for your continued prayers.
Scott has had at least three more, serious crashes since my last update but has miraculously rebounded from each of them, his doctors are in awe. He is stable for now but on dialysis, we are hoping that his kidneys will begin functioning again soon.
I just wanted everyone to know that he hasnt given up and is still fighting.
God Bless
Prayers going up for Scott. All his family, care workers are included in my prayers. Peace and joy. Scott is under the shadow of His wings.
God Bless You and Scott! Continuing to pray for him!
Prayers for all of you at this rough time.
Continued prayers! Keep fighting, Scott!
Oh my FRiend, prayers continuing for you all.
Dear Lord, thank you for strengthening Scott in his hard fought battle, and please, help all who know and care for him to be as resolute.
May God hold you all close.
