There is not much new to report with Sam, except that the CVVH machine was working great with the heparin. And then it had a major malfunction completely unrelated to Sam, and they are still on the search for a new one. Hopefully they can get one tonight, but they're not overly worried as he did already have the hemodialysis treatment earlier today. (**As I was writing this, they found a new one and are waiting for it to be cleared for use.) This is certainly not how we envisioned ringing in the new year, and in all likelihood we would have fallen asleep before midnight anyway, party animals that we are. We are definitely hoping that things change for the better with the new year that is just hours away.
I'm actually writing because a friend of mine who has been following Sam's story and praying for him told me about another little boy who suffered a traumatic brain injury. His name is Aaron and he is 5 years old. He is a beautiful little boy with an incredible smile just from the few pictures I've seen. He is fighting the same fight as Sam, along with some different complications. Please include Aaron, and his parents Bridget and Chris in your prayers. Although we do not know them personally, we know their pain very intimately. Thank you for including him when you lift up Sam!
