Hey everybody it's George, just hanging out with Sam and Lan. It's a good time to post now because Sam is resting in his chair and Lan is asleep in his bed. He has made so much progress from last weekend when we were here. He's feeding himself and drinking by himself. He's also brushing his teeth by himself. His muscle control has increased. You can tell he has really been working hard in PT and OT b/c it has paid off. He's a bit sore this weekend but that's just from working his butt off this week. Just to recap some of Sam's Milestones this week: On Monday, Sam ate and drank by himself for the first time. With a couple of straps and a bent fork and spoon, Sam goes to town on some food. On Tuesday, Sam came off the vent. completely. He had been put on the vent for a few hours each night but he no longer needs that assistance. On Wednesday, his feeding tube came out. He was joking and said the nurse tied a piece of string to the tube and the other end to the door and then slammed the door, but that's not exactly the way they operate up here. Thursday and Friday were very productive days in PT and OT. Once on the mat, Sam is able to hold himself up with his arms and various other exercises that he has not been able to do on his own until then. Overall, it was a extraordinary week for Sam. He had many visitors this week. I'm not sure exactly who all stopped in but I do know some of his visitors this week include: Gogo, Gillian, Tara, Gran and Granpappy. Of course Dad, Mom, Hollis, Aunt Sue and family, and Aunt Susan and family. Also cousins Sara, Julian, and Fred came by on Thursday. Today we played with R2D2 robot from Dustin with Aunt Sue, Uncle Lewis, and Suzy. Sam wanted to thank Jaime Simmons (I'm sorry I only know your maiden name) for the really good looking junk food basket. Sam, Lan, and I would also like to send our love to our step-mom Jaime since she had back surgery yesterday. We love you and hope you get to feeling better. Well, that's all for now. Tomorrow Sam wants to reply to some posts so you guys will hear from him soon. Until then, we love you all and thank you all for your love, support, and prayers. Oh yeah, don't think we've forgotten to post Sam's Halloween picture, it's coming soon.

Sam,
It's D.Sorry it has been a while since I have sent you a post but after my wonderful weekend of they are back to working my butt off once again.Last weekend was just so great to see you, Lan and George.I had a great time visiting and I hope I can make it down some time next week.I'm so glad to hear about all of your progress.It sounds like you'll be ahead of your own schedule which is a tough one to be ahead of.I'm also glad I was able to tour the place and got to see the gym.I sure am proud of you and since I got to come down there I have been able to sleep a lil' better at night knowing I got this damn computer out of the way from me and you.But it has seems to have some sort of healing factor I just quite can't figure out.Don't worry won't be long before I take care of this thing for good."Oh yeah. It's dynamite baby."Just keep up the good work and keep me posted.Give me a call after 10 if you want.If not try me at the 706 number in the day time.Yeah you know the one."I will meet you when that guy is eating a hamburger."
"The next time I'm eating meat and mashed potatoes,I think I will put a very large blob of potatoes on my plate with just a little piece of meat.And if someone ask me why I didn't get more meat,I'll just say,"Oh,you mean this?"and pull out a big piece of meat from inside the blob of potatoes,where I've hidden it.Good magic trick,huh?-Deep Thoughts by Jack Handy
