Sammy update 8/24/13: Samuel had a full day of therapies yesterday & has today off, thankfully. He received his first vegan-purée dinner last night, which was quite bland as the veggies were accidentally omitted. It arrived late - was accidentally delivered to the wrong room. it was missing the requested seasoning! In the end, understandably, he didn't eat much of it. It will take awhile, honestly, for Sam to regain the strength to eat a full meal. So, in the meantime, we can rely on tube feeds to supplement. Today's meals were much more complete & concise, thanks to the quick action of Shannon in Sunnyview's Nutritional Department. Today Sam is catching up on rest & working on eating, which is tiring! He had some pain at his feeding-tube site, which is currently being corrected. Sam's attitude is amazing; even though he's experiencing some sadness at realizing, daily, what happened to bring him here. We've been promoting the concept of his remarkable recovery in 4 short weeks. He's incredible, brave, smart & strong.
