Strong Sam

How can life fly by so quickly? It feels like we never stop!  Sam is very busy with therapy, school, and softball.  Juab did make it to the state tournament, so hopefully they can do well.  We played Spanish Fork for out last region game.  Sam threw out the first pitch.  After the game the Spanish Fork team surprised Sam with a quilt made from her old t-shirts and a check for almost two thousand dollars they raised selling suckers.  We had no idea.  We knew about the quilt but not anything else.  Sam played for Spanish Fork last summer and got to know them pretty well. They have been supporting her ever since her accident happened.  The whole team showed up when she was in ICU.  Every time Spanish is around at any tournament or game they come over to see Sam.  What a classy team.  After that last game they invited both teams to stay for a barbecue.  It was nice to meet some of these great girls and their parents.  I just hope they know how forever grateful we are for their support. I have missed watching Sam out on the field, but have enjoyed watching her be so loving and kind to those who show her support.  Thanks Spanish Fork, Good luck at state. Sam's therapy is going great.  Neuroworx has been keeping her for three hours at a time.  She is getting stronger and stronger.  They are confident good things are happening.  They have been walking her in the extoskeleton weekly.  This week Sam is in St George with her mother and sisters for State Softball.  Sam is going to throw out the first pitch for the championship game.  She wasn't too thrilled about having so much attention but doesn't always think about herself all the time anymore. She has done some growing up lately.  Sam also graduates this week!  She thought she would get a break from school afterwards but she rolled her eyes when Jill told her we needed to get her registered for some college classes.  I'm hoping we can slow down a little during the summer but.....!  We continue to appreciate everyone who talks with us about Sam.  We would really appreciate prayers on her behalf and on behalf of all those patients at Neuroworx.  Please google Neuroworx and read about this amazing place.  They need our support too! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for all you do for us!
