Hello once again, this morning has been quite good thus far. Last night Dad seemed to hold a pretty steady blood pressure without the balloon pump. The doctors made their rounds this morning and are starting to reduce his sedation. This will allow them to monitor his breathing better and if things go well, and he can come off of the drugs, they will remove the respirator. It's pretty much a waiting game to see how he responds, but most likely the respirator will come out tomorrow, maybe today. The doc said that he has to move slowly because his heart can't take a lot of activity so it will take baby steps to get there.
The family is in good spirits. I asked Mom how she felt this morning and she said "well, I put mascara on!" We feel strong and ready to make the next move with Dad.
Again, please post any memories you may have of him we would love to hear as they are great to read during this time. If any of you would like to contact us you can call me at 503-4265, email skiparry@yahoo.com, or my Mom's address is 10485 South 2330 West, South Jordan, UT 84095. We appreciate all of the love and support we have received, you are all God sends.

That sounds much better! We are thinking of you guys and praying for you! Give your family all a hug for me. We hope things keep getting better. I am so glad you have this blog to keep us posted. We love you guys!
Good news! That is wonderful to hear, and we are praying that he gets strong enough to return to your home and spend his days there with his family.
Thank you for updating...you are all so awesome! We love you! (And tell Kris that she doesn't need mascara cause she is one hot mama!)
I'm so glad he is doing better. We are all praying for Scott. My dad gives me daily updates. You guys take care. Give Kris my e-mail address for me. natalieh77@hotmail.com
Thanks,

Scott is in our prayers every day. What a wonderful and thoughtfull family he has that thinks enough of us to share thier thoughts with us. We don't get an opportunity too often to see the family side of our coworkers and would like to thank you for opening up to us in this most difficult time.
God bless you.
The LF crew in Ogden today wishes you forward and strong progress. We are thinking of you.
I have been talking to Doug each day several times to get any news about Scotty. I am so grateful that I have this blog to come to now. It has been so hard being so far away, but I haven't stopped praying that Scott will come home and spend his last days with Krissy and his precious family. I love you all so much and you are constantly in my heart and prayers. I have put your names in the Temples and I will keep them there. I love you Kris and Scott. I hope by some miracle I will make it back home before he passes onto the other side. If not please know I am thinking and praying for you all the time, so is our entire family. Love, Sharee
Howdy fam,
I am so happy to hear that Uncle Scott had a good night without the heart pump. He certainly is one hec of a fighter. I had such a feeling of comfort last night when I saw him. He is such an amazing guy...one of a kind that's for sure. I am one lucky girl to have been blessed with him in my life. They just don't come any better than him. When I count my blessings, I count him and all of you.I love you all to pieces. Give Uncle Scott a squeeze for me! XOXO- Heidi

After spending time at the hospital this morning, I went home to look through some photo albums of the "old days." In the mix was a much younger (and dark-haired) Scott cooking up trouble during various Lake Powell trips and looking kind-of picked-on at his 40th birthday celebration. What special memories...and what a sweet and tender man! Is it any wonder we all love him?
I am so grateful to know the Parry clan and will continue to send lots and lots of prayers heavenward in your behalf. If there is ANYTHING I can do for you (Kris, Heather, Tim, Tom--thought I'd better limit the offer some), all you need to do is ask!
Much Love--
The LF Provo night crew sends our thoughts and prayers to getting you home Scott. So glad to hear your improving. Hang in there!!! Brent, Jake and John L.
We are so glad to hear that Scott is doing better. Many of my fondest memories came from our trips to California with your family. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.
It was good to see you all this morning. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. We will be keeping 'watch' on this blog.
Love, Ross and Susan
Your family is in our hearts and prayers! I wish there was more that we could do! Sometimes a good hug helps! We are thinking of you Heather & Phil and your wonderful family!
Hi Kris and all the rest of the family. It has been a while since I have been in touch with you, but often I think of Scott and get catch ups when I speak to his mother. I am Dian´s cousin...her father and my father were brothers. I feel so bad as I am in Madrid Spain for another month and was informed by another cousin of Scott´s condition. Her message by email to me was not good and now I read in the blog and an email I had from Val that Scott is doing some good things. He always has been a fighter and over the years since he was a wee baby to the present there has been a bond between us even though we haven´t spent time together during the last few years. Please tell him that John Stevens sends his love and wants him to keep fighting one step at a time. You all seem to be supportive and he is fortunate to have you all at his side. This site is great too keep track of what is going on. Love John
Good morning Parry fam. So glad to hear that Scott is holding his own. Hopefully things will continue to hold so that you can take him home soon. We sure love you guys. It has been such a treat to get to meet some of your other friends and family. We had some great times over the weekend. It's so fun to recall all the memories with your family. We love you to pieces and our prayers are with you all. Talk to you soon.
Your Trailer Trash Friends : )
Dear Parry Family ~ Scott's sister Cheryl, is my very good friend. I have spoke to Cheryl several times during this heartwrenching time. I know how torn up she is and realize that this has been an extremely devastating time for the entire family. Although none of you know who I am, please know that my heart goes out to each and everyone of you. All of you are in my sincere thoughts and prayers. Keep up the great work Scott as I can see there are MANY people thinking of you & continuously praying for you. God Speed ~ Debbie Nieuwenhoff
For a long time, Scott was closer to me than my own brothers. There weren't many weekends that the Parrys and the Grays were not doing something. I think Scott and Kris have logged more days at Powell with us than any other. I will truly miss my friend Scottie. But I am happy that he is not dealing with the problems of our mortal bodies any more. I know he is working on some good reservations on the othe side for the group. May God bless you and keep you ready to meet us all again. We will help keep care of Kris for you buddy.

Scott was like a second father for me in my early years and I will always remember all the good memories and good times our families had together. He is a good man who left a great impression on a lot of people, myself included. Your children and your grandchildren are a true testament to that. Good work Scott!
We will miss you!
