When I arrived this afternoon, Sam was having some sherbet (orange, I think) and decided that he wanted to feed himself. He was able to do so, and spilled just a little. Then he worked at getting comfortable. As we heard before, this can be quite a process, head to the top of the bed, head to the bottom, wants to stand up, wants to get in the chair, lay down again. Sam's nurse said that he has had several bursts of energy like this, each one followed by several hours of sleep.
As I understand the current plan, it is to get Sam out of ICU and transferred to Dornbecher's as soon as a bed is available. In a few days, another transfer to Emanuel. More info (or perhaps a correction) when available.
But for now, as of a few minutes ago, Sam, his night nurse and Stephanie are going for a walk to get a change of scenery. Sam's not actually walking. He's riding. But he seems very pleased to be getting out for a little while. Perhaps they'll go see the tram station which is in this building.
More prayers are always good, perhaps a little thanksgiving added in!
