Day three --back surgery

Today started off rough. Sam began having muscle spasms in his back, which were very painful. He was miserable and at one point (our typically upbeat) little man said, "I can't win; I wish I were dead." Thankfully, at about 1:30 this afternoon they found the correct med cocktail to give him relief and he has slept most of the afternoon and evening so far.

In addition to pain, Sam is also becoming frustrated as he realizes he won't be able to sit up in his wheelchair (or anywhere else) for the next few months (last blog: his hips won't bend). We'd really appreciate prayers for his pain physically and otherwise--that he would be able to trust God through this difficult time.

As always thankful for our praying Saints, K
