Prayers for Sam

He keeps on Truckin'

We have had a good couple of weeks concerning Sam. He is crawling better and faster every time. He can to over 1/16th of a mile without a rest stop and then get into a adult "walker" and using leg braces go around the track another time placing one foot in front ot the other. He is doing amazing!

Some other good news is that RIM (Rehabilitation Institute of Michigan) has signed a lease with Champion Sports in Rockford. They have moved the equipment in and we will be able to start his Rehab there in December. That is great news for the people from the west side of Michigan who currently travel to Detroit a few times a week. That alone will save us 15 hours of driving a week!

Next week Dr. Lima from Portugal will be at RIM and will meet with Sam and some of his other patients. We will get to hear about some of his other patients from aound the world and be able to ask some other patients how they are improving.

Sam's attitude remains strong and he is working very hard. He continues to amaze many with his progress and determination. We continue to treasure your prayers and notes of encouragement.
