Half way
Seriously with the phone.
I got half way home and got called back. Scott coughed again and guess what - that's right he bled again.
Each of the 3 major bleeding events has gotten easier. We've figured out what Scott needs when it happens. We've almost got it to a science.
This was the final straw though. Scott is back in the OR now. They are going in for the 3rd time in 3 days. Third times a charm....right....
Everyone here is absolutely amazing. I cannot begin to express to all of you what wonderful, gifted, caring people we are surrounded by. They have kept up laughing and kept Scott safe. We are so very very blessed.
Dr. Ben is not in surgery with Scott tonight. He's got a brief moment off, he so totally deserves it. You should have seen the boy sweat when he had to run from the OR to IR to help when Scott started bleeding. He got in his workout today that's for sure.
Dr. N and Dr. Jacobs are in with Scott. He's as safe as can be. He's got all these love and prayers coming at him from all over - New York, Florida, Iowa, California, Minnesota.... I know I've asked for a lot but please, please keep the love coming.
Hi Brandi, I know we don't know each other, but my husband and I are with you guys all the way. I have some pictures of Scott from Immanuel that I thought he might like to see. So if you think its a good idea, let me know I will send them. I have such good memories from there and I hope Scott does too. I hope he knows how much all of his former classmates are praying for him. So I hate to ask, but what blood type is he? Lots of prayers to you both and your daughter. Jill (McKenney)Gosch
Jill - please do send the photos. You can email to werewitty@google.com or I can give you our address if you need to snail mail them. Thank you for the well wishes. Scott remembers you fondly.
Mark has put together some "Guy" music he knows you love on an iPod. I picked up a couple of super yummy B,B & B candles that I thought you would appreciate until Mark reminded me they'll tackle my ass to the floor if I take out a lighter in your room with all that pure oxygen shit flowing around the rooms. We have a whole box of melt away mints from Chuck and Eileen for your. Other than some things only your wife should do for you I can't think of any other sensual pleasures to temporarily take out of there and in a better place for a moment.
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE YOU,
Jay'me & Mark
