I'm just updating on Scott's condition as of late last night. The MRI was performed yesterday evening. The results are that Scott has DAI, or Diffuse Axonal Injury. The brain is still swollen and it has been difficult for the doctors to see how much dead tissue he has. He is now breathing with the ventilator vs. the ventilator breathing for him. He still has no brain activity and the section of the brain that is the personality will be affected in some way.
The family has set up this site with CaringBridge http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/scottagnew
Thank you for your prayers and I ask that you please continue to pray.

Please Pray
As some of you may know, I am an advisor for a Chi Omega chapter at Wingate University. I have been advising for years in the various locations that we have lived and I love it. I can't imagine not doing it. I had such a wonderful experience in college with Chi Omega advising is my chance to give back.
The chapter at Wingate had 15 seniors graduate. Fifteen! I have grown close with many of these girls and I am sad to see them go. Today, I found out terrible news regarding Emily S. and her fiancee, Scott. Yesterday Scott was assiting his dad while tree cutting and the tree fell over and crushed him. While I don't know the logistics of how the tree fell, etc., I did speak with Emily today. Scott is currently unconcious and has been for the last 24 hours. His lungs were punctured by his ribs and his spleen has a tear. He has also had a trach put in. The doctors are hoping to have an MRI tomorrow to see the extent of the brain damage.
Please, please pray for Emily and Scott and both of their families. These are two people who have dated most of college (if not all) and are engaged to be married next summer. Emily is the sweetest, bubbliest person you will ever meet in your life and I can't imagine her having to go through something so tragic.
