Scott's Surgery & Recovery Fund

Donation protected
On Saturday, August 26th Scott was in a motorcycle accident while riding for the annual Autism poker ride, and was med flighted to Gundersen Lutheran. He unfortunately received some pretty significant injuries from this accident. He broke 11 ribs and has a very severe open fracture to his left lower leg where the tibia and fibula bone actually came through the skin. He lost a significant amount of skin in that area. He had his first wash out to clean the wound on Saturday the 25th and an external fixator was placed to stabilize the bones. The orthopedic trauma surgery team has been following. This is a very severe injury. The plastic surgery team will need to be involved. He will need a series of surgeries in order to repair this. He is currently awaiting transfer to a trauma center at either UW Health in Madison or Mayo Clinic Rochester where they will do the surgery and repair the skin around the injury. At this time he has been admitted to both hospitals but do not have beds available at his time. This will be a long road for him but with time he will recover.

The outpouring of support, well wishes, and prayer has been incredible. Thank you to all of you who have offered help and asked about monetary donations or a being part of a benefit. Scott and Lisa and the Neumeister family will need support as they navigate Scott's surgeries and recovery. Along with growing costs of medical bills and travel and lodging as Scott is transferred, any funds raised will go directly to Scott and his family for the installation of an entry ramp into their home, other medical equipment, multiple follow ups, and, of course, several months of lost income.

Scott has been a huge part of our community in many ways. Please consider supporting his recovery and healing. Thank you!
