Sam's Doing Fine

Well, the operation on our little man's foot was a huge success according to the surgeon. Thank the Lord it's all over with. He is doing well, so are his Mum & Dad. Shannon has been with him all day and I've spoken to her several times. She is very proud of her little man, who she says was very brave. Evidently he was asking questions about all the equipment right up until the time he went to sleep. That's our Sam.

We have all known that this was going to happen, but are very glad that it is finally done and the healing process can begin. It might be a rough few weeks, evidently he is NOT HAPPY about all that plaster.

When I spoke to her earlier this evening, she told me he had eaten a cheese sandwich, watched a bit of TV and was nodding off to sleep. The resilience of children amazes me. Shannon will be sleeping beside him on a cot bed, so she can be there if he needs her. Evidently there was a couple of other little mites in the same ward who were in a bit of pain and very fretful, so I don't know how much sleep her and Sam will get. Here's hoping the other littlies and their parents manage to get some sleep too.

I'm going to see them first thing tomorrow, so please send along your good wishes and I will let Shannon, Shane & Sam know that you are thinking of them.

Thank you all for caring so much.
