Flynn Scott and his journey to recovery❤️

Almost four weeks ago on Sunday 29th May, our beloved son, brother, cousin, friend, Flynn Scott was tragically struck by a van at 70mph on the Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route (AWPR) where it has emerged that officers had helped Flynn and then left him close to the bypass just shortly before the collision. The police watchdog is currently investigating the circumstances leading up to the accident.

 

Flynn was taken into the ICU at Royal Aberdeen Hospital where he was in a coma for almost 4 weeks. During this time the paramedics, doctor’s, nurses, consultants and many other medical bodies did everything in their power to give Flynn the strength to fight his way back to us. As a family we were blown away by the efforts of all the specialists involved with Flynn and we cannot fault the care that he was given to help with the multiple life changing injuries Flynn has suffered from the collision. Nothing was too much to ask and they kept us informed at every step of the recovery process for Flynn.

 

After a long and grueling 3 weeks in the ICU Flynn was strong enough to start coming round and start the process of breathing unassisted and begin the long road to recovery. He was

transferred to the Neurology ward where Flynn has started intense rehabilitation to build his strength back up as well as the ability to return to daily activities like walking and eating again.

 

The love, prayers and support from friends and family as well as the wider community has been so powerful and this is what has kept Flynn fighting and getting stronger each day.

 

Our family would like to raise funds for the ICU and Neurology ward to help other family’s that find themselves in this tragic position to continue to receive the best possible care for their loved ones. Without funding, new technology and equipment cannot be given to these wards and they have to rely on charities and fundraisers to see any money come through their doors. We would like to ask you all to share the story of how strong Flynn has been and donate what you can no matter how small, to these amazing causes! Even if it is just to share this page, that will help this cause!

 

Thank you from our family to yours ❤️
