Sam III enjoyed Smurf blue water by mouth today. The blue dye is used as an alert and will show up in his lung secretions should he get any in his lungs.
Sam also had his golden purse removed. He will be cathed every 6 hours.
He certainly looks good without the collar. He has very good neck mobility, now.
After physical therapy(Kelly) he seemed very tired and was in some pain. After some medication, he was much better and quite talkative after lunch. He phoned brothers Matt and George. Matt is going to see him tonight.
He is also working very hard outside of therapy to increase his mobility and strength in his wrists and arms.
Occupational therapy (Patti) was working with him when we left this afternoon. OT has been teaching him how to do everyday activities on his own such as holding a cup.
Grandin, what's your email?
Breaking News from Aunt Sue! Sam had green beans and peaches for supper! Beans and peaches were good, not so the cookies.
We are very pleased in his progress over the last week and ask for your continuing prayers.

Smurf Blue water huh? You got one on me. I didn't do that. I can understand the pain.... It gets better. It does.... It does... It does. The good Lord will never give us more than we can handle and He will always give us everthing we need. In His time. That's the hard part.
I did not have Kelly or Patti as my main "terrorists" but I know them. I found it beneficial to not overdo the extra cirricular strength and flexibility training. It was my experience that they knew how much to take out of me each day which was usually all I had. Overdoing it just kept me in a constant state of pain. Our bodies are still healing and they need time to recover.
Sam3... You are making tremendous progress. Look at where you are today compared to a week ago. Celebrate each step forward and tolerate the steps backward. They are normal. There I go acting like I know it all again.
Gotta run help the little man with some homework. My e-mail is geakle@aol.com. You are welcome to write.
Enough for now. Prayers are blazing skyward for you man. Keep kickin'.
