HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE! I hope everyone had a fun and safe New Years. We had to cancel the New Year's party at the Ctudio Sea and came up to Shepherd for their New Year's party with Sam. Lan, Bobby, Clay, Gabe, Dustin, and Mailman and Tiffany came to hang out for the pizza party at Shepherd and we all had a great time. They had wheelchair limbo and a pinnate ball that dropped to symbolize the ball dropping for the new year. Sam came in 3rd in the wheelchair limbo, he sort of had an unfair advantage since his chair can recline all the way backwards. All in all we had a great New Years. This week I've been in atl with Sam for day program and he continues to do really well. He works so hard and you can tell it's paying off. His projected discharge date from day program is February 2nd, and he'll be coming home for good after that! I know he can't wait to see you guys that he hasn't had a chance to see since he first arrived here way back in September. What an improvement its been since then. Part of me feels like Sam doesn't want to come back, even though I know he really does, b/c he has had an impact on so many people here. It's seems like anywhere we go at Shepherd everyone knows him. His great personality leaves an impression on anyone he comes into contact with. Sorry it's been a while since the last post but we're still here. Take care everybody and we'll see you soon.

Hi to all,
We had a very quiet New Year's which turned out to be just right. Went to a party, was home by 11:30, watched the ball drop on TV, shared some champage & went to sleep shortly thereafter. It is a far cry from the times of old thank goodness. It sounds like you all had a good one too!
As for me I turned a whopping 33 last Friday (jan 6th). I've decided not to run from the birthdays anymore; no matter what I do, they keep coming back around each year. Oh Well!!
Feb 2nd is just around the corner & will start another exciting chapter in your book Sammy-boy!! You've got a new outlook on life, not to mention the brand spanking new Ctudio which I bet is all tricked out! Have you thought of writing about your experiences? The journey you've been on has been one of tremendous self evaluation & bravery. I don't know many who would have excepted, much less embraced it as a challenge. You have already done great things & are truely my hero!!!
Here's to wishing you & yours a very Happy New Years filled with adventure & excitement. Take care Sam & friends. If any of you are ever are in the Florida panhandle area, look up the Romiti's in the Port St. Joe phone book. We're only about 35 miles east of P.C. beach. I'm sure we can drum up some fun (hee-hee). Take care & God bless.
love, Polly
