Update 8/3/13

Sammy update from his mother Jen: (8/3/13)
Samuel did quite a bit of moving around yesterday - especially with his arms, shoulders & head. He had some discomfort as the respirator tubing needed clearing often. He hit the neurologist, Amy, twice. Its a "response", so she considered it a good thing! He pushed the nurse, Megan also! Very strong on left side especially. Sam worked hard yesterday & rested well last night without issue. "Obviousness"reminder: if you have a cold or fever, please don't visit until your healthy. Non-medical news: Rich & the Four Seasons staff sent a wonderful basket full of goodies for Sam's friends & family. The SICU staff requests that we don't eat in the room, but grab any of these wonderful treats & bring into the waiting room. Thanks for your continued prayers.
