Friday July 9
There's so much new stuff every day around here. Progress....
The IV antibiotics have been cut from 3 times to 2 times per day. We think that may be helping to calm his stomach and the high temps have been less often also. This is also helping him sleep alot better. What a relief to feel better and just concentrate on rehab.
Sam's been working hard on transfering from wheelchair to car and back again. Yesterday we went to Best Buy to shop and also test the tranfering in the real world. It went pretty good. It seems so nice and 'normal' to just go to Best Buy and shop.
Today friends came for lunch and we walked down to the Cottage Bar (another real world test for going longer distance in traffic and on uneven sidewalks). The food and company were great.
Sam's been doing alot of weightlifing in rehab, which is fun because we can work out right along with him. I'm not sure how much he'll be able to do in gym next year, but the upper body stuff should be a cinch.
If you're looking to stop by for a visit, the lunch hour (11-1) is great other than on Wednesdays, otherwise anytime after 4 works well. My cell is 437-2124 in case you want to call first to make sure he'll be around. (He's in room #339 at Mary Freebed Hospital.)
Have a good weekend. We're hoping to go see Spiderman 2 tomorrow so that should make it a good one for Sam.

Hello all! Thanks so much for the updates. It is so encouraging to hear how determined and positive you are, Sam. I think about you often and pray for you constantly in my heart. Megan and I are planning to come to Michigan the first/second week in August for about 10 days, so we will try to come for a visit. "Now may the Lord of peace Himself give you peace at all times and in every way. The Lord be with all of you." 2Thes 3:16 Love, Deborah Hansel
