Scott continues to improve a little bit each day. He ate more today than he has, which is good. Hopefully, he will be able to get rid of the feeding tube before long. He has been reading a little bit with Andrea, and is continuing to work out in physical therapy. He is off all of the sedation medicine, so he has not been as confused. He is missing his kids, and wants to see them. It is so wonderful to see the progress that he is making!

Scott continues to make progress. He is working with physical therapy twice per day, and it is helping him to get stronger. He almost stood on his own today! He is weaker on his right side, than on his left one. This is due to the injury being on the left side of the brain. When the drain tubes for his brain and abdomen are removed, they will consider moving him to the rehabilitation unit. It is going to take time, but he continues to amaze us with his strength. He loves Andrea so much, and he is always happier when she is there with him.

Scott had an MRI early this morning, and the neurosurgeon decided that is was safe to put the bone flap back on. They had to removed the bone flap from the abdominal cavity and replace it on the skull. Scott did well during the surgery and is now all put together! The neurosurgeon inserted a drain in both the brain and the abdomen to drain any extra fluid that may accumulate. Once these drains are no longer needed, they will just pull them out. The doctor said that Scott's brain looked good. Hopefully now Scott can just recuperate from this surgery and then start the hard work of rehabilitation. Thanks for your love, prayers, and concerns. Today was a good day!

Scott has now started to be able to eat solid foods. He still has a feeding tube for a little while but this is progress. He is also continuing with physical therapy. We are making progress but they are baby steps and probably will be for a while. Thank you for your continued prayers.

Things are improving again today! Scott still has the fever, but it isn't as high, and it is intermittent. The doctors think that it was a sinus infection causing the fever, and they are treating him with antibiotics. He is working in physical therapy, and he stood today for the first time since the accident. He is communicating more, but it will still be a long, hard battle. It is wonderful to be able to post two positive entries in a row! Your prayers are helping!

Great news! They performed an MRI on Scott today, and the brain swelling is finally starting to go down. He still has a way to go with it, but it is finally starting to diminish. Also, there is no sign of any dead or decaying brain tissue! Another miracle! Scott is communicating better and following commands. His lungs are looking better today. They have changed his one antibiotic for another one. They think that the one antibiotic that they changed was affecting his liver. He is still running a temperature, today he was staying around 102 or 103 degrees. He is improving, but it is going to be a long, hard haul. Thanks for your prayers. You are helping us achieve our miracles!

There have been small improvements today. Scott's liver looks a little better today and his white blood cell count is now in the normal range. His blood level is finally starting to improve, as well. Hopefully things will continue to improve like this.
