Update on Scott 3/16

We wanted to share an update on Scott. As many of you know, he recently had surgery for stage IV thyroid cancer. Following the surgery, he developed significant swelling in his neck caused by a lymphatic leak, a complication that can sometimes occur after this type of procedure.

Doctors drained the fluid several times, but unfortunately the swelling continued to return. Scott was able to go home briefly, but after only a few days the problem came back and he had to be readmitted to the hospital.

He has now undergone another surgery to try to seal the lymphatic leak and stop the fluid buildup.

This has been a difficult setback, but Scott is incredibly grateful for the prayers, messages, and support he has received. It truly means so much to him and his family to know so many people are standing with him during this time.

We will continue to share updates as we learn more. Thank you all for keeping Scott in your thoughts and prayers.
