Roller Coaster

I've been telling people who have asked me how Scott was doing that "this roller coaster ride is giving us whiplash"

On Saturday we were told to prepare for Scott's life to end.

Today, we are preparing for him to be discharged home.

It's unbelievable, and miraculous, and completely exhausting.  We are so grateful.


Scott was told he has cellulitis (a skin infection) this is very treatable and nothing compared to the thoughts of necrotizing fasciitis. 

He is improving and feeling so much better.  The antibiotics are working and seem to be clearing up the infection.

Yesterday, he was transfered from the ICU to the 8th floor.  All of his IV's were removed except for one.

He's had a few ups and downs with his lab work.  His potassium has been a little low which has been quickly corrected.  His WBC count is returning to a more normal level.

I'm afrad that this blog has become a very dramatic tale.  My life is full, and as you've noticed I primarily update when things are not going well.  For even me, typing the words that he is going home today, just again seems so unbelievable after the last post.  But I promise I try very hard to write only things that are true and I always ask Janiece to read and let me know if I haven't got the details correct.

We're grateful that Scott is still here.  I truly believe that for all of us, when our "time is up", it's up and only God knows this.  Doctors can predict and speculate, but again, only God knows. 

Thank you for your continued support, love, and prayers.  We could not battle this war alone and would be lost without our faith, friends, and family.

Much Love,

April
