Sunday Day Update

Sorry I'm a day late.  Yesterday seems like a blur.  Sundays are a day off from therapy so Sam got to sleep in and eat breakfast when he got up.  He took a bit of a nap and then we went down to the outdoor Children's Garden.  Sam's cousins visited him for the first time and the garden was a good place to go and not feel like we're in a hospital room.  Sam tired after half an hour or maybe it was the teenage girls giggling (no insult intended).  It was good to get him out of the room, walk a bit, and relax. 
 
Sam has a full day of therapies scheduled today and then a neuro appointment this afternoon with possibly a CT scan also.  This will indicate how his brain is doing and give the doctors a better idea of how long we will be "visiting" this fine establishment.  Sam has been having headaches towards the end of the days but then his head has been through a lot and is put through more with his therapies.  He is much steadier on his feet and is using his right arm quite a bit more especially when I remind him to use it. 
 
He laughs more usually at me but that's okay it is so good to see him smile. 
 
God bless everyone, keep us in your prayers, and have a great Monday.

Sam, Stephanie and Cam...

Hey we are really praying hard for all of you, especially you Sam. We miss you lots. We are so glad and amazed at how good God has been with your recovery. Hopefully, prayerfully, you'll soon be headed back to Salem.

Try not to speed in the hallways with that wheelchair. Would hate to have to come up there at give you a ticket :)

Anyway, please take care and we are looking forward to getting a chance to see you all. Love, The Clausen family.
