Samuel had a quiet day.
The spinal team never showed up with the new brace. He is asking for it because he is tired of being
flat on his back. He has lost a lot of
muscle tone in the last few days and his arms and legs are pretty boney
now. He is half way through his book,
which is encouraging. He said it’s a
great book. No new tubes and no less
tubes today. I am fine with just holding
steady where he is. It is much better
than stepping back! They are changing
his bandages now and then he is having another x-ray of his lungs. They do x-rays every night to make sure the
pneumonia is not coming back or getting any worse.
Today the kids were telling me how so many people have
brought dinner to them. Thank you to our
friends who have done that. I had to
laugh when I thought about how many times people have asked me, “How do you cook
for such a big family?” Well, now you’ve
got to experience it yourself! It’s not
as hard as it seems. In our household,
Jay loves to cook, so he enjoys cooking the evening meal for our big family.
Each day we don’t have setback is a day we are still heading
in the right direction. Jay worked today
and we are going to try to find somewhat of a routine again. I know Jay felt bad because every time he
went back to work, Samuel has had a setback.
I think Samuel is on the right track again though and we have to take
care of the rest of our family. We are
trusting in the Lord that Samuel will pull through this and make a full
recovery. Blessings!
