After 40 days, Scott was able to return home today. It was such a blessing to see him sitting on his couch in his own home surrounded by his kids and Andrea by his side. He still has a neck brace and has some work ahead of him with out-patient therapy but he is doing so well. The progress that he has made the last two weeks is amazing and we are so grateful to have him back. He will still have some work ahead of him, but if anyone is up to it, it is Scott. He is such a great example of strength--the only thing close to a complaint that he has made is of having a headache . . . and maybe a little grumbling about the hospital food :).

As a family, we are very much aware of how blessed we are and how things could have gone very differently. We know that prayers are answered and we can never thank everyone enough for all of the prayers that were offered in behalf of Scott, Andrea, and their kids. If we were to list all of the little miracles we have seen through out the past 40 days, it would take pages.

We are also so grateful for all of the acts of kindness performed in their behalf. Scott is aware of how kind people have been and also appreciates it.

One thing Scott may not be aware of, however, is this blog. He has always hated having any attention on him. We decided to ignore that for a while, though, and implore for your prayers. We also wanted to have a place in which people could check up on how he was doing so this will be the final post. We are so grateful to everyone but as Scott begins to reclaim his normal life, we are going to let him also have the privacy that goes along with it. We are forever grateful for your prayers. We know that it has brought us our miracle!

Love,

The Scott Blackett Family

Scott is working so hard in therapy and doing so well. He is having six different sessions per day, and it is wearing him out. By the time, evening comes he is tired. The doctors and therapists are working on getting him ready to come home soon. We are not sure of the date yet, but he should be home within the next five days or so. He will still need outpatient therapy at the hospital here in Nephi. It will be a big adjustment for him to come home. He will need to get accustomed to routines of home, compared to the routine he is in now. It will take him a while to get ready to see everyone again. We know that Scott getting to this point, is due to all of you. We can never thank you enough for all of the miracles and the blessings that we have received. Thanks for all of your prayers, love, help and financial assistance. Because of you, Scott will soon be coming home!
