To know Kelly and the Scott family is to love them. As you know, Kelly has been experiencing chronic pain for years and has had several spinal surgeries to attempt to resolve the issues. Unfortunately, her most recent surgery, just about a month ago, was unsuccessful, and she is facing another surgery on Wednesday, 11/19. She has been on leave from her job as a child therapist since then, and will continue to be on leave for 3-6 months following her recovery. This will be her fourth spinal surgery, and the most invasive. Recovery will be difficult, painful, and lengthy. Her restrictions will keep her from lifting, bending, and twisting for at least three months post-op. As you can imagine, this is very challenging with two young children and a house that is being renovated. Clay has stepped up in every way possible, but is only one person. He is struggling to stay on top of childcare, caring for Kelly, caring for their pets, and managing housework and yardwork. Kelly and Clay do not have family nearby and are hesitant to ask for the support they desperately need. So now to the important part - how can we best support Kelly and her family over the coming months? The big ones will definitely be family meals (home-cooked or DoorDash, dinner is dinner!) and spending time with Kelly and Clay's children - getting them some changes of scenery and fresh air time. And giving Clay a hand here and there in the yard (fall clean-up on one acre with massive Oaks is a LOT). Please check out the various needs on the calendar section of the page and sign up for an activity and date that works for you. Thank you for helping to shower this family in love during this tough season.
