Another day at home!

It's been too long since I have written.  The days tend to blend together and go by much too fast.  Sam is doing well.  He went to his first high school football game last Friday night  It was Sprague's homecoming.  He and his brother painted one of his helmets with the school colors, symbol, and "Olys" on the front for the game.  He got a lot of compliments and even had his picture taken. 

 

He had his therapy evaluations and will be starting next week.  The wheels of bureaucracy had slowed down a bit so I called and got them sped up, seems my health care provider only approved for Sam evaluation and not therapy.  He's only going to need three or so visits for PT and then about two months of OT and Speech.  The school is providing him a tutor for the rest of this school semester and into the second one if he needs.  He is scheduled to start school in January for the second semester.  He's getting bored so pray for patience for all of Sam and for us.  I'm sure once therapy and tutoring starts we will be very busy.

 

Yesterday as part of his home therapy he wrote the grocery list after checking out lack of food and then he and Cameron went grocery shopping with Sam leading the way.  He had to find the items in the store, compare prices, and make sure he didn't forget anything.  He called me a couple of times asking about brands and how many, etc.  When he got home he had a bit of a headache and Cameron helped him find a couple of things yet he did pretty good. 

 

Sam has follow-up neurologist and CT scan appointments are tomorrow and hopefully we will be able to make the appointment to get the bone flap put back in.  Mom and Karylinn are joining us for that visit and it is great to have their love and support.  Sam's accident brought us closer and now it seems weird not to see them every day. 

 

I'll write more after his appointments. 

 

We still need your prayers.  Please pray the CT scan shows enough healing that the doctors can reinsert the bone flap.  This brings us one more step towards "normalcy", whatever that may be.

 

God bless everyone for their thoughts and prayers for Sam's recovery.  Faith and love has pulled us all through this and will continue to do so.
