What a determined young man we just left the room of!!! His words to us were, "By this time tomorrow night, I don't plan to be in STICU." I don't know if that is possible or not, but it is a great goal and I love his positive attitude! The spine team came by and measured him to make a custom brace for his spine. At some point tomorrow they will bring the brace and take him for... more scans of the fractures in his t-spine. He is wearing the collar on his neck again because of the trauma to his c-spine, but we aren't sure why because we were told yesterday that it was clear. Maybe tomorrow will bring some answers on what all is going on with his spine. He remains on the strong IV antibiotics and will be for seven days. There's a lot of junk in his lungs, but the breathing treatments are helping him. We are making progress! This is a hard place to be, but at night it is just us few families that have someone in STICU. We pray together and share how each of our loved ones are doing. It is great to see some families getting to move to Intermediate ICU. We are praying that Samuel will be moving there soon too.
