Sam was a little down earlier this morning but both the MD and I thought it would be nice for her to  a few visitors.  The MD stopped visitors for a few days because he could see Sam concentrating too much on them and not on herself. Her spirits picked up quite a bit with a couple friends. She ate some orange chicken from Panda and had a watermelon slushie from Sonic.  Her friends helped update her facebook.  Part of her therapy today was going outside.  The therapist put her in an adjustable chair and wheeled her outside. I don't think she wanted to go but was glad she did.  Her neck pain has been better controlled today. They have had her in the stiff neck brace.  She will be really glad to get that off in a couple of months. Its almost 8pm and she is resting comfortably.  On a personal note if it weren't for the prayers and support of  many friends and family, this time in our life would be overwhelming.  Although Sam has made progress I hope all of you would continue to ask Heavenly Father for continued blessings in her behalf. I would also request prayers in behalf of all the other patients that need those blessings.  Thank you, Bob (dad)
