Samuel Update - Day 7

Well....Samuel is still making progress on his road to recovery.  It is slow, but at least he's moving forward and not back. Samuel took two short walks today. It is very hard for him to get up without using his tummy muscles at all. He has to depend on a lot of other people to help him. He is able to eat soft foods today, but he is struggling with nausea and pain in his abdomen.  He is still on the PCA pump, but sometimes the IV Tylenol seems to do more to help him. Honestly, right now Samuel's biggest battle is in his mind.  We are looking at this situation and seeing it as a huge step towards a full recovery, but he is seeing this as twice as many tubes and bags as he came in with and more pain.  He seems to tend to focus on the negatives. He sees the cup as half empty while we see the cup as half full.  Please pray for clarity, healing, perseverance and a willingness to continue the fight.
