Last night was eventually joyfully uneventful. But, before we could get to serenity, Sam really struggled to get settled in. When the days are long and Sam hasn’t had enough napping, the nights can be rather rough. Stephanie also clued in to the fact that having the TV on probably provides more stimulation than Sam needs at this time, even if he isn’t watching it. Just the noise and the flicker of lights in the background can be too much.
Sam took his evening meds and then was able to get comfortable. He slept the entire night and only woke when the nurse had to give him his medicine or take vitals. And, then he went right back to sleep. This morning the doctor said that his vitals have been solidly stable for a few days now, so they are going to quit taking those. One more move forward.
With the CNA in the room all night, Cameron and I were able to sleep on the two day-beds in Sam’s room. We only got up when Sam was awake so it made for a mostly restful night.
I’m sure Stephanie and/or Cameron will update this blog later, especially given that they’ll be seeing the doctor later today. I just wanted to give a quick report so that you all know that everything is going well.

To Sam and all the extended family. I continue to read with interest the bolg on Sam's recovery and add to the prayers being said to that end. Patton has been giving weekly updates of his own at our Rotary meetings and I know there are many members that are adding to the silent support for this young man. John Harrold
