Sammy update 8/31/13: brought in donuts & bagels for Samuel's
awesome nursing staff. They were almost as happy to see us as Sam was!
He had a great breakfast, & much thanks to Toni & Mary for
keeping him entertained. Archie & I had great conversation with Sam;
he wanted to discuss his accident & Albany Med hospital stay. As
expected, he remembers nothing of either. Sam is happy to know that he's
...out
of the coma. He is starting to believe all of us who tell him his
progress is amazing. Today was a day off from therapies, so it was all
about visiting, eating, & resting. Sam started walking to the rest
room with a nursing assist (instead of wheeling in there). That was his
idea. More incredible news tomorrow after he rocks therapies!
Sammy update 8/30/13: yesterday before Archie, Jared & I left Sunnyview, Samuel
walked the stairs in the gym with no assistance! He also practiced
getting in & out of a car; they have a small-body truck-cab, for
this purpose. He did great for his first try! He did quite a bit of
walking & really impressed his brother & Archie (& me, as
always!). The Silent Auction was absolutely incredible. So muc...h
love for our Sam. Today, Sam did such a great job with eating that he
got his diet upgraded! He received a massage in OT - Sarah is so good
to him. We have been cleared to take visitors by the good Dr. Somaio.
However, I also need to clear it with Sam! He's been too exhausted to
respond to questions today. It's been a terrific & productive week.
