I Do All My Own Stunts...

Good news today! The docs were literally a couple of hours away from sticking a permanent pacemaker in Scotty's chest - just to be safe. So, Kelly the nurse came in this morning to check on a very grouchy and hungry Scotty (since he was not allowed to eat before this additional - albeit minor - surgery). Kelly happened to notice the temporary pacemaker didn't look right and he discovered it was parked. Scotty's heart was driving all by itself! Dr Ryan happened to be outside and when Kelly showed the doc what he'd found, Dr Ryan said, "Cool. No pacemaker for you." Elated, Scotty turned to Kelly and deadpanned: "Get me a menu."

Uncle Scotty-

We are so excited that you don't need the pacemaker and that you have a strong heart again!! We promise we won't jump on you in Florida!!! (Although you are our favorite part!!)

We miss you and ask mom about you every day.

Love-
Danny and Drew

Scott,

I just found out yesterday what happened. Wow, how shocking!
Fortunately, they caught it and were able to fix you up.

We are all thinking about you and know you will get stronger by the day.

Take care,
Diane, Carey, Blake and Rachel

Good for you. Keep it pumping. Being hungry is a good sign so hope the menu is to your liking.

Love you
