wheelhorseman 3,211 #281 Posted October 28, 2021 Lowell and I would like to give you a bit of an update on Scottie. This past summer Scottie had attended a few tractor shows, hanging out with his friends, learning how to drive, getting ready for his SENIOR year in high school, getting himself ready to attend school on a regular basis since the day of the car accident, and finally figuring out what he wanted to do for his Senior photos. Scottie was laying low and was letting his body heal and taking it easy. School started the weekend before Labor day and he attended school the first week and he came home sick. He was tested positive for COVID because it was going around the school. Scottie just took it easy while he was out of school for 2 weeks. He went back to school and he came home and said that he was not feeling well, had a headache, lower back pain, difficulty urinating, having bladder spasms, and was really irratiable. I call his urologist in Rochester and he had ordered a urine sample. Sure enough Scottie had another bladder infection, so he started Scottie on antibiotics and scheduled us to come and see him later that next week. Scottie's infection is all cleared up and we went to our appointments. The Dr. ordered x-rays of his pelvis area, ultrasound on his kidneys, liver, bladder, and urethra and a urine flow study. We met with the urologist later that afternoon to see what our next steps were. The Dr. was so amazed at what the results were that he could not believe his own eyes. Scottie's tests results were showing he had no issues. His urethra is completely healed and connected to his bladder, his kidneys and liver are functioning at a 100%, his bladder is healthy, his pelvis is all healed, and he is emptying in bladder completely on his own. PRAISE Our Lord and Savoir Jesus for this miracle. That day of the accident Scottie's prognosis was to have a suprapubic catheter in for the rest of his life and today he is urinating all on his own. One thing that Scottie will have to deal with for the rest of his life is having bladder infections and being on antibiotics for that when they occur, but that is minimal considering the alternative. Scottie is still leaking at night and sometimes during the day but the urologist said that is because the sphincter is not strong enough to stay closed, but there is therapy for that and we have to do other things at home first before we can start the therapy. Scottie is still suffering from his traumatic brain injury and is having bad lingering headaches and there are days where he needs to take brain breaks to help his brain out. We are asking for continued prayers for Scottie and his headaches. We know that God performs miracles everyday and we have seen our fair share of miracles with Scottie since the car accident. We know that God can handle this too, so please pray that Scottie's traumatic brain injury heals to help him with his headaches. We want to say...Thank you to all of you for your prayers, kind words, your thoughts, and most importantly for being family to us when we needed it the most. May God bless you and your families. 3 3 11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PeacemakerJack 10,738 #282 Posted October 28, 2021 (edited) Thank you so much for this update! It made my day to read the details of Scottie’s progress. Whenever I look at the pictures of the car from the day of the accident and realize how tragic the outcome of that accident could have been, I thank God for his protection of both the boys! What a blessing to read of the healing that has taken place and I’ll continue to pray for the headaches, etc. I hope that Scottie can have a great senior year and begin to put this traumatic experience behind him and look forward to the next phase of his life. I also hope that he never forgets that he was given a great gift of life even through that dark accident for a purpose. God has a plan for Scottie and I look forward to seeing that unfold in upcoming years… We should all consider every day on “the right side of the dirt” is a gift and we need to enjoy it to the fullest. I can’t wait to see you all again!🙌🏻 Edited October 28, 2021 by PeacemakerJack 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wheelhorseman 3,211 #290 Posted April 11, 2022 UPDATE ON SCOTTIE: Scottie has been dealing with his traumatic brain injury and one of the things that he has are headaches. We were trying to figure out how to help Scott with his headaches by trying to pinpoint where his headaches are starting and where they are located in his brain. Scott has three different kinds of headaches so we had to learn where his headaches were coming from some of his headaches are located above his eyes, while other headaches are in the back of his head at the base of his spine, and one of his tell tale signs of a bladder infection is a headache. It is very important for us to help Scottie figure out how to determine which type of headache he has and how to deal with it. The first thing we did was take him to the eye doctor and he was informed that he has 20/20 vision but he has a stigmatism in both eyes that are working double time to focus. He was prescribed glasses to wear daily. Since he started wearing his glasses on a daily basis, his headaches above his eyes have decreased. Next, we took him to see a chiropractor and we found out that his spine was not in alignment and it was like the letter "C". His upper back and middle back was shifted to the left and we found out that his head was not aligned with his spine and that his head was shifted to the left as well. No wonder he was having headaches. Once we started to get his spine in alignment, his headaches that were located in the back of his head at the base of his spine started to ease up for him. Those headaches are not completely gone but we know that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. We also went to see our family doctor so she could help him with his anxiety and his headaches. She gave him a medication for his anxiety, she also gave him a daily medication for his headaches and also one for breakthrough headaches, Since he has started on these medications, wearing his glasses, and going to the chiropractor, we have noticed his headaches are not as frequent as before. Scottie is still dealing with bladder spasms and the urologist has prescribed him a PRN medication that helps him by relaxing his bladder during his spasms. But we are also working with the chiropractor with his bladder spasms because we found out that if Scottie's lower back is out he is experiencing bladder spasms. We learned that the nerves in the lower back help control the bladder area and may be the reason why he is experiencing bladder spasms. Scottie has been involved in the high school choir since his freshman year. This year Scottie was picked by the choir director to be apart of the Honor Choir and he was one of two basses that were selected. What is Honor Choir? Honor Choir is the highest choir in high school districts that only the best singers get selected. Scott was selected along with one other bass. We were thrilled for Scottie as he has such passion and love for singing. Scottie then decided to attend a competition for our district and sing a duet with the other bass singer and they both received "Excellence" on their performance. Scottie is graduating this year from Medford High School and he is planning on going into the trades like his older brother Travis did and not attend college because of his headaches. It was not until we were coming home after attending the For King & Country Christmas concert on December 11, 2021, that Scott asked me what do you think Dad will say if I were to be a youth minister? I asked Scott when he received the calling to be a youth minister and he said it was a few days ago. I told Scott do not worry about Dad and that I would talk to him and everything will be okay. That night Lowell and I talked about it and we both knew in the back of minds that this would happen because of how Scott's faith has grown in the last three years, his involvement in youth group, his involvement in our church with helping me teach Sunday school to Pre-K and K. Scott and I went and talked to our pastor about what Scott wanted to do and our pastor told Scott to pray about becoming a Pastor knowing that he can serve the youth in the church and yet have many doors open for him if he was a Pastor. It was not that long after that meeting that Scott received the calling from God to become a Pastor. We then scheduled a couple of college visit to the colleges that our pastor recommended for us to visit. The first one we visited was Concordia in St Paul Minnesota and we were looking at the Pre-Seminary program for Scott. Next we traveled down to St. Louis Missouri and visited the Seminary in St. Louis. We knew that God had bigger plans for him and now we know what it is. Scott has been accepted to Concordia St. Paul for Pre-Seminary program and will be there for 4 years and then he will move to St. Louis and attend Concordia Seminary for the next 4 years. Once Scottie is all done he will have his Lutheran theology and his Doctorate's in Lutheran Theology. 1 2 1 14 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
