Strong Sam

Sorry its been so long since our last post.  Sam continues to be busy with therapy four days a week. She is doing so well when transferring from her wheelchair.  Vocational Rehab is going to do a couple things for Sam.  They are going to install an electric rotating chair in a newer car we just purchased.  They will also help Sam go to college.  We are going to start her with a couple of online courses at first.  Sam's hip had been hurting her so we had xrays and a CT scan done and all was well.  The therapists have really been working the hip and she is about ready to start walking on Lokomat again.  Sam will do the Baclofen trial for her spasms after the holidays.  This will also help the therapist know in what direction would be best to take Sam in her recovery.  We appreciate all of her friends that continue to come and visit Sam.  It makes her day and she likes to keep up with what her friends are doing at college. We had 48 people for Thanksgiving!  If you know Sam she was gracious when so many came to visit but was ready to be alone as soon as she could. Her Uncle Tom and his family drove up from Louisiana and spent Thanksgiving week with us.  We had a great visit and my brother told me how much he enjoyed visiting with Sam.  It was hard to see them leave. So many people in Louisiana are doing prayer list for Sam and everyone else we tell them needs help.  What great friends and family we have!  Please continue to keep all those like Sam or anyone who is suffering in your prayers and thoughts.  Prayer works.
