Day 5 in STICU.... Samuel slept most of the morning. The trauma team said they are making a custom brace to support his fractured spine. He will need to wear it for eight weeks. At this time, they do not feel that the vertebrae are displaced and that it probably won't require surgery, but we won't know that for sure until they have the brace and can have him upright for the scan. He also still has some blockage that they are concerned about. He continues with his breathing treatments and they are helping him, but it's also painful. He has a fever still, but it has not spiked since yesterday. He has some milestones he will have to make before he can leave STICU, but he is heading in the right direction.
