Monday - 9:30 am
Samuel is still in shock-trauma ICU. We just met with the trauma team and they answered many of our questions. Samuel is improving, but we are running into a few bumps in the road to recovery. He has two infections now. One of them is pneumonia. He has been started on the strongest of antibiotics to fight this. Today they will develop a plan for his spinal injury. They need to get him more upright. His thoracic spine has several fractures. A friend who works here (that we have not seen in many years) asked his partner who is Samuel's spinal doctor what the plan was for his spine. He said that they think they will use braces to support it and that it will not require surgery. Lets pray that's the case. We should know more by the end of the day. They have also increased his oxygen and pain meds to try to help him get more comfortable.
