Our first week home

We've been home a week now and I can't remember what this house was like before Sam. He continues to amaze and amuse us every day. He sleeps through the night, in his own bed and his diet is slowly expanding. Almost hourly he surprises us with new words--some of which, like his new favorite "stink-pot", we'd rather he not learn! Oh and yesterday Sam rode in the "lift" (which we no longer call an "elevator") without any problems.
That is not to say that we haven't had our moments..Day one home our washing machine broke, days two, three and four, Sam had a bad case of diarrea! Broken washing machine and diarreah= bad combination!!! Thankfully our washing machine is still under warranty and will be repaired on Monday-I might break out in to an alleluah chorus -
Sam apparently feels secure enough in our family to have an occassional temper tantrum-which so far, only last only a few minutes.
Sam loves the independence of his wheelchair--it's the smallest one they make and he is so cute in it. He had a blast using it at Walmart yesterday. Unfortunately, the wheelchair bothers his back so we can't use it for more than about an hour a day.
We had our first regular DR visit this week and Sam handeled it like a chanmp. We have been referred for appointments for neurology, ortho, and urology. These appointments are scheduled over the next few weeks.
So, again, we appreciate any prayers we can get for Sam- especially re medical appointments we have in our immediate future.
Many of you have requested that we continue to blog medical updates. So we will keep it going for a while longer. That way we can be specific about our prayer requests.
Thank you! Thank you ! Thank you!
love,
K
