Update from Sammys mom Jen:

Sammy update 8/21/13: Yesterday afternoon in OT Samuel amazed everyone in the gym. His therapist thought she would have him lay on a wedge -shaped cushion on the padded bench. Sam decided to straighten his arms into a push-up position & he put all of his weight in his arms! All the therapists in the gym were in shock - & so was I. Sam was laughing as his OT (Sarah) was transferring him, & he spoke! He was wide awake when his brother Jared Anthony DeMarco came to visit - it was wonderful to see them laughing together. Today in PT, Sam walked 75 feet! He's doing amazing things & I couldn't be more proud!
