"I'll get by with a little help from my friends"

We are completely overwhelmed with the love and support each of you have shown to our family during this difficult time. Our family has always known what a wonderful community we live in. The examples are far to many to recount here but here are a few:


When Scott was transferred to IMC, our Shelby was playing softball in St. George. Wanting to spare her some worry, the decision was made to let her play her game and wait until we had more information on Scott's condition. When the decision was made to amputate Scott's leg, Janiece called Kirk and Stephanie Oyler to head North while Aunt Melissa, Eric, and Doug headed South. They would meet in Nephi. With no questions asked and not even knowing the circumstances, they jumped in the car to bring our Shelby home.

Then the BR ladies softball team flipped their already made posters around to write on the back "We Love the Newman Family" and "We're doing this for Scott." Their team took State two days later.







Wes Shaffer wrote on facebook "Tell Scott I'm whittling him a new leg with some extra ass kickin features." A day later he came to the hospital with his homemade prosthetic. The phrase on the top of the foot reads "Platinum Prosthetics. If you can't lend a hand, give them a foot." Everyone was in stitches.




Scott's new prosthetic--If you don't laugh, you'll cry.

The Coombs family got a trailer down here so Janiece and family could stay close to the hospital.

The Roberts family filled Janiece's "home away from home" with plenty of groceries, snacks, and homemade goodies. Shauna Coombs sent a basket full of goodies. We have never eaten so well! We are so grateful.

No one has been home yet, but we have heard that both Scott and Janiece's and Doug and Tamera's yards look beautiful.





The Clair Zollinger family gave money to help cover some of the expenses that come from living away from home.



The ICU isn't a fun place for kiddos; my sweet husband has been the designated babysitter, even taking all "his charges" to the School Art Fair, Friday night.



Again, there are so many more. The waiting room has been full of friends and family. Flowers have been sent, the cards are piling up and they bring Scott so much joy. We feel your prayers. Please know how much we appreciate you. We are so grateful and are buoyed up everyday by your
kindness. Words can not express our gratitude. Thank you so much.
