Is It Spring Yet

Just got back from a softball tournament in St. George last weekend.  Man was it great.  Sunny and 83 degrees.  Sam had to go down to support her team and Coach Gee needed her in the dugout.  It was just Sam and me. Jill was doing something with her mother and sisters.  She made me take her down to the Mall and help (pay) her get a new outfit. The team did pretty well and we both went home with sunburns.  Sam has been so awesome lately.  Sam is usually quiet and very private, unless she is with her group of friends.  She has been so outgoing and nice, I'm waiting to see what she really wants.  She spoke a couple of weeks ago in her oldest sister's (Mariah) Young Women Group meeting.  It was great.  I think everyone was touched by what she said.  She does tell me sometimes she doesn't like to be the strong one. It has been so fun for me to be with Sam so much.  We make a good team.  Listening to her try to sing Taylor Swift or Imagine Dragons songs back and forth to therapy is pretty funny. Sam is still doing 5 days a week therapy and progressing well.  Just watching her reposition herself in a chair or in the truck you can see improvement.  She enjoys the group of patients and caregivers at Neuroworx.  She isn't a morning person, but after therapy her attitude is always great.  Jill took her to therapy today.  Its pool day.  I think she likes the pool a lot.  Everyday she ends up at the ballfield helping and supporting her team.   We are so blessed to have the friends and family we do.  We grieve for those who are in our situation, or worse, and do not have the support we do.  Please, please, please continue to pray and fast for Sam and all those who are in need physically, emotionally, or mentally.  Thank you so much for talking with us and asking about Sam. I never get tired of letting everyone know about her.
