Moderator mervin Posted August 6, 2013 Moderator Posted August 6, 2013 Please spare a thought or prayer if you are religious for Scott he has had a bad bout of MRSA it seems , I just caught up with it on facebook this was from his brother on the 24th June Quote I want to thank everyone who's been praying for my brother, Scott. He seems to be stable now. Although he still has a long road ahead of him. If you haven't heard, Scott was infected with MRSA, and because of his large hemangiomas, his body went into a condition called DIC, which causes clotting throughout his blood stream. He's been at OHSU since Monday. On Friday, they had to amputate his right hand. We've been concerned about his feet and other hand as they're dark purple due to the clotting. He has a large wound on his right side where they surgically removed the infected/dead tissue. On Wednesday we were informed that he was extremely high risk, to the point where he was given the option of not continuing. We are so grateful to God for carrying him through this week. He has brought so many people together that would not have otherwise happened. Please continue to pray for him. He's still at risk of losing fingers and toes, and this recovery will be months long, if not more. Thank you. and from Scott himself this morning Quote MANY Thanks to all my friends & family for all the prayers & well wishes! Finally home now trying to heal up enough for a Rehab program I'm lined up for. The Mersa infection took my right hand, right toes, half my left toes, & my LH fingertips...... Thank God I still have my left thumb & my job waiting for me when I'm ready!! Currently learning how to walk again, & looking 4ward to training with a new artificial arm after I get a grip on my drawing skills. With God's help, ..........I WILL PREVAIL!!!
Ttaskmaster Posted August 6, 2013 Posted August 6, 2013 Fucking hell, fella... It'll be tough, I know, but you CAN do this. Anything that doesn't kill ya... A very good friend of mine went through something similar, but refused to give up and ended up becoming THE top Advanced Riding Instructor throughout Essex, so there is always a way. You CAN do this and we will be here to help in any way we can!! Look forward to hearing about your progress!!
