Today is a sad day.

This morning around 4:30am Scotts grandfather succomed to cancer. He was an amazingly strong individual who actually fought harder than anyone expected. They gave him less than a week Aug 1st and he fought to the bitter end. He died in peace in his home with grandmom by his side. They were married for 63 years. Please keep our family in your thoughts and prayers. Today is a very sad day.


An update on my friend Eric from the previous post, he has been improving well. They capped his trach to see if that will help him talk, they began weening him off the meds, and he is at the beginning stages of trying to eat on his own. He is still in ICU, he isnt out of the woods yet. His kidneys still have not regained function so he does dialysis daily at this point. He hasnt really talked that made sense so how much brain damage is still unknown at this point. But the great news is he does in fact recognize his son, so we are hoping that is a positive sign that he has no brain damage. We are praying that he continues with his recovery and gets to see his son's first football game as a senior.
