Scott perry's family

Hi,

My name is Heather and I am writing this on behalf of some of my best friends for the last 20 some years Scott (or Bubba as Ive always called him) and Erin. Last Friday Scott had an eardrum rupture. Saturday, he didn't feel great but was also worn out from the week and he laid down for a nap and Erin and their 7 year old daughter Emmy went out for a few hours. When Erin went to lay down after getting home, she walked into a scene that no spouse should ever have to endure. I'll save the details, however, Scott was unresponsive and transported to Aurora south by ambulance. It was quickly diagnosed that he had bacterial spinal mengitis and also sepsis. That evening he had 2 seizures- one lasting over 40 minutes. He has been intubated and sedated and is now being weaned off sedatives. We are all playing the waiting game to see how the future will play out. Scott is not exhibiting any of the normal reflexes which could likely be indicative of brain death. We are still being optimistic but facing the possibility that Scott may be gone, and if he is still by any miracle still here, he is going to have a lot of medical bills and a long road of recovery in front of him. (We will take that any day! )

I'd like just a minute to tell you about Scott and Erin. They met about 20 years ago and that was IT. They have been inseperable since and have brought out the best in each other. These 2 as anyone who has met either of them can attest, are the most amazing couple of people you could hope to meet. I remember having a cracked radiator a few years back and mentioning it to scott saying id pick up a new one on payday. An hour later i looked down and there he was under my car, wrenching away- because i needed a reliable vehicle and just pay us back for the radiator when you can. No rush. In between working several jobs, any spare time he has he is always doing for people, always someones car in the driveway or helping friends move or just doing anything he can to brighten peoples day. He loves his friends and wants to be sure everyone is ok and taken care of. Erin never bats an eye and is right beside him bringing dinner over to cook for your family and wisdom beyond her years to share. They are both such goofballs and can leave a smile on anyones face. When you are around them- you are comfortable to be yourself and listen to Scotts jokes and cant help but be happy and feel like a part of the family. They have a knack for making other people feel loved and accepted. These are the friends that if you invite to your kids unicorn birthday party- they'll show up in unicorn shirts- if you break down at 2 am an hour away that you can call. If you need advice or to cry, they will never be too busy. They have been family to me and so many other people. 7 years ago they had a beautiful little girl Emmy who they dote on. Erin and Scott both equally love kids and that's another thing when they visit for dinner- Scott is usually indistinguishable from the other kids- rolling around laughing and playing, Erin snuggling up on the babies. These 2 people are the epitome of great people and would give the shirt off their backs to help anyone. Now, they need help. Scott works several jobs so that Erin can stay home with Emmy. With all of this, Scott is not going to be working next month. He will be in the icu for awhile (We are hoping so, the alternative being a funeral)

It is imperative to Erin to keeps things as normal as possible for Emmy. The last thing in the world Erin needs to worry about us if she can get gas in her car or toilet paper without breaking the bank. This is to help Erin and Emmy through until they can get going. To help with the million and somewhat dollar hospital fees that are accumulating. And worst case scenario to help Scott have a dignified end- and Erin not scrambling for money as she's dealing with this. Scott and Erin have always been caretakers. They've never needed help. Today they do. Please give what you can to help them get by with as little stress about monetary issues as possible.  Erin can also accept venmo at erin-stonner. Or zelle to her number 7209894391. Thank you for your time and please share this with your friends if you can.
