Sam III's Progress Report for September 17

Sunday, September 17, 2006

This morning Sam seems to be more alert and aware of his surroundings. He recognizes me and really wants to talk in spite of the tube in his mouth. In between interruptions, he seems to be resting well. I’d like to talk more to him, but his reaction is to talk back to me which seems to be very frustrating to him causing him to flail his arms and attempt to pull at the ventilation tube.

At 2:00 p.m. today, the word is that the tube will be pulled tomorrow.

We were just notified that Sam will be transported to Shepherd Spinal in Atlanta on Monday at noon.


I will be updating this post throughout the day.

Thanks for posting these updates. This is a sad, horrible situation but reading that Sam is moving his arms and trying to talk is great news!

Thanks everyone for the comments that have been left so far. Sam will enjoy reading them in the next few days.
