Today has been another decent day with more baby steps for Sam. I'm wiped out, but I did want to give you some brief highlights. I'll address your blog addiction issues in a future entry.
We had a care conference today. That's when doctors and reps from every aspect of Sam's care get together and tell us where he is and what his prognosis might be. While the prediction end of things might be hard to pin down right now, the short story is that Jim and I felt very good about what was said. To be clear, there are some very significant challenges that Sam will be facing through the recovery phase. We are still waiting to see if there is any damage in other areas of his brain. Even if future scans (an MRI is tentatively scheduled for Monday) show devastating injury elsewhere, there will be a plan in place for him to go through rehab in whatever form that takes. We know Sam will be different, and at the same time, we are confident that we will see incredible things from him. And after all is said and done, this is our boy, and we won't love him any differently than we did before this happened. The only thing that will change is the way we show it.
The other piece of news I wanted to share is that he was off the vent for an hour today and did very well! I think that tidbit is good enough to stand on its own!
We remain grateful for your continued prayers! God is good!
Praying for you Sam. Coach Deaton

ReplyDeleteBilly Joel on the Tonight Show tonight. Too late for me to stay up. Wish I still lived in New York and could take Sam to the bar in Oyster Bar (Long Island) where Billy Joel hung out. Instead. I pray for Sam and all of you as Sam continues to recover. God bless you.
ReplyDeleteSam's mom it's pretty.
ReplyDeleteGood news that he was off the vent for a bit, that is a good sign. Prayers for continued recovery and strength for you all, I can't imagine how exhausted you all are! Keep up the good work Sam, prayers for your continued healing!

Lifting you all up in this journey. He is faithful to provide. It is so awesome to hear of the steps forward.

ReplyDeleteContinued prayers...it's in Gods hands and all in Sam's timing. Thinking of y'all and always know you have a lot of prayer warriors out there!
ReplyDeleteThankful for this hopeful news..praying that the rest of the Loeffler family gets some well needed rest!
ReplyDeleteI am going to give you guys just some input as to why you need to call a lawyer even for a dog bite. My new neighbor had a history of letting their dogs run free and biting people, and the judge had an order if it happened again these idiots would pay. My lawyer took the case and made sure they not only paid, they were not allowed to have dogs in that community again.
