Friday - Home is good
We made it. We came home on Tuesday and it is good. I guess the fact that I haven't written an update since then is evidence that we hit the ground running. Tons of work (THANK YOU to everyone who's doing it) has gone into the ramp area and the bathroom. Between therapy and work, Ran & I feel like we haven't had enough time to do more of it ourselves (guilt, guilt) but we're SO thankful for what you guys have been doing for us and for Sam.
It feels like we're beginning to get a rhythm going again around here.
Sam is so great. There is so much he just learned or relearned a few weeks ago in therapy that he's doing so easily already. We are very proud parents.
Tonight Sam, Luke and Randy are going to be sleeping in the Tent Sale tent at Great Lakes to 'protect' the furniture. I hope they'll all have a fun adventure. They have the X-Box, movies, plenty of food and 'weapons' (I'm not sure which kind) to scare off anyone who would dare to grab furniture during the night, so they should be all set.
The big news for next week is that Thursday is Sam's last IV antiobiotic treatment so they can remove the PIK line Thursday night. We are really looking forward to that. It's an internal IV that goes into his right arm and down to a large artery in his chest, and the end that comes out of his arm is always in the way. Last week he was leaning forward in his chair and it got stuck in his spokes and almost pulled out (not good). Also, he can't get it wet so that means no swimming. So, it comes out Thursday night and Friday we'll get him in a pool to see how balance, etc goes while swimming. We are hoping to camp at the Conference Grounds the following week and swimming/pools will become very important.
Guess that's it for now. We're planning on having a great weekend and I hope you all are too.

Hey Sam Wassink. Very nice blog :0) I just got inside from washing and waxing my truck. It is my baby. Took me 2 hours though. So I settled down into my basement and started doing some web surfing. Anyways I am in the process of grabbing my masters degree and have spent the last 6 months researching umbilical cord blood banking advantages . In the midst of my surfing I landed smack dab in the middle of your blog. I hope you do not think I am intruding but I must say it is great blog. Even though Friday - Home is good is way off base from umbilical cord blood banking advantages I found myself cruising through your blog archives for the last half hour :0) You have some nice blogging friends. Anyways, I need to get back to my mission. I wrote don’t your url and feel free to visit me here at umbilical cord blood banking advantages . I am so busy so I can only update my site monthly.
