Support Scott Whitmire's Covid-19 Recovery

As a mason working with concrete and heavy machines, Scott puts in a long, hard,

physically demanding day of work 5 to 6 days each week. Strong and in good shape,

it would take a lot to bring him to his knees. But when his family was exposed to the

Covid-19 virus in early September, they all tested positive. His wife, Diane, and son,

Mahlon, quarantined with minor symptoms. But Scott reacted to the virus in a way

that we all fear. Diane took him to the emergency room where it became

increasingly hard for Scott to breath and function. After several days, Scott was put

on a ventilator and an induced coma to help his body relax and get oxygen into his

lungs. We all feared that we would lose a husband, father, brother, son, uncle, and

good friend. But with many praying for him and God’s blessing, Scott improved.

After eight days he was removed from the ventilator. However, the battle with the

virus caused him to be extremely weak, underweight, and unable to perform basic

functions such as swallowing, sitting, standing, and speaking.

Thus his road to recovery remains a long one of extensive rehabilitation. Scott has

channeled his determination, strong will, and fighting spirit to push himself to

progress at a pace that has encouraged and even surprised his medical team. His

driving force is to return home to his family and business and to normal life

activities. We are all anxious to see him return to his favorite fishing hole and to

hear him cheer from the sidelines at Mahlon’s games.

Meanwhile, the medical bills are going to arrive and add up. Being self employed

and out of work for several months to add to the medical bills will put a strain on

the family finances.

Please consider helping Scott and his family as he has a long road to full recovery

ahead of him. Thank you.
