Good morning, it's Monday already and we need to be back at hospital by 8 p.m., but for now Sam is home, laying on the couch watching t.v., with dogs asleep at his side and all are content. Sam had PT Saturday morning and then late afternoon so we didn't get home until about 5:30. Our church has Saturday service and Sam wanted to go so we got there for most of the service and went home right away. Sam was happy to see some friends and people that have been praying for him, but I could see he was wearing out so we went home to relax. The dogs were excited to see us both and haven't left our sides much at all. Sunday we slept in, I mean really slept in until about 1 p.m. and I never sleep in, but this is about Sam so reverting back to him. He too slept in, no PT, no nurses waking him up for his meds, just dogs, family, and sleeping.
Some of Sam's classmates from WCS came to visit him and brought some wonderful homemade cinnamon rolls. Thank you Kelsey, Meadow, Karly, and Danielle. We went to the movies last night and saw Babylon A.D. After we got Sam spent the rest of the night hanging out with Cameron watching t.v., playing XBox and enjoying time with his big brother. They stayed up until almost midnight long past my going to sleep.
I know it sounds like Sam has had a busy weekend but he's had more down time than activities and he is enjoy everything that is so normal. He has also had fewer headaches (and less pain pills) since being home probably because his days are here are so less structured and fast paced than at the hospital. He's doing stuff for himself (getting breakfast, etc.) and says it's good to be independent.
I can tell he is anxious to be home for good but I also know the his road to recovery is still ahead of him us and this is but the first rest stop before starting his journey again tomorrow.
Thank you for all the prayers, cards, and thank so much to our WCS family who held a car wash in Sam's honor and gave him the proceeds towards future expenses. We are truly blessed.
