Update from Cassie about Scott’s son-in-law:
I don’t really know how else to say this other than to just say it.
At this point, there isn’t a positive update to share about Topher. He is not responsive, and his brain has suffered significant damage.
As a family, we are trying to process an impossible reality while also figuring out what the coming days look like. Right now, our focus is simply on Topher—making sure he is comfortable, surrounded by love, and cared for.
We know so many people love Topher and care about our family, and we are incredibly grateful for all of the love, prayers, and support we have received. Right now, though, we kindly ask that you please try to refrain from reaching out to us individually for updates or responses. We simply don’t have the capacity to respond to messages or answer questions right now. Please know that your love and support are felt, even when we aren’t able to respond.
We will share updates when and if we are able. For now, please continue to keep Topher and our family in your thoughts and give us the time and space we need to be together. ❤️
