"Be strong and of a good courage.." Joshua 1:6
Scott Harman was involved in a serious single car accident on Sunday, November 4, 2012. He fell asleep at the wheel and crashed into a telephone pole. He was transported by air to Scottsdale Osborne, one of the few hospitals that can treat level 1 traumas.
He is suffering from multiple injuries including bi-lateral rib fractures, damaged lung with fluid and his left leg with multiple fractures. A provisional surgery was done where rods were inserted in his leg to stabilize it. More surgeries will be needed. He is under heavy medication. Scott's communication is minimal as he is hooked up to a breathing machine. Progress has been made though. Yesterday, the machines were doing 80% of the breathing, where as today they are doing 60%. Scott's biggest threat is infection while he is still combating dialysis and diabetes. Visitors are extremely limited in the ICU and texting is preferred to phone calls because cell phones are not allowed in use in his room.
Hayden and HeartLee flew in this afternoon from BYU. They have been a wonderful support to Dessie at this difficult time. The Harmans have felt and appreciate your prayers. Please keep them in your prayers as they take one day at a time. Thank you.
We will keep the blog updated as frequently as possible. Disclaimer: Medical terms are as accurate as possible, Dessie says.
