I Think Sam Is Finally Turning a Corner...

Today, he discovered he can walk. actually he was roughing around with Aric and Zoe and discovered he can stand on his knees. I then told him if he can do that he can walk. So he got up and tried. He is still very slow and walks with bent knees but it is walking. Just after that discovery, wwe went shopping for back to school supplies. i got him a size 1 pair of shoes. He rode in the stroller the whole time and by the time we left Wal-Mart it was 5.5 hours since the last pain med dose and I could see him getting worn out from the pain. After pain meds and we got home, he was in a much better mood and was scooting all over down stairs. So we are down to pain meds, ytlenol and oxycodone, three times a day.

I recieved appointment confirmation in the mail for Sam's 2 week wound check. It was scheduled for the first full day of school for Sam. :( I called Gillette and talked to Amanda and she did some calling around and got Sam's DEXA scan scheduled for 8:45 on Sept 2. His Endo appointment is stil 10:15 or so, both in St Paul and then go to Burnsville to see ortho NP at 12:40 or so. All on the same day and Sam can start school with out having to miss school the first week for appointments!
