We are settled in on 8 East. We are actually back in the first room that started our journey here, room 833. Sam has been asleep since we before we moved up here. The plan is for him to rest tonight, we will have to get an X-ray and blood work later. I am hoping he is a little happier when he wakes up because he can actually get up now. When he woke up after his cath he had to lay flat and he wasn't too happy about that. He also didn't like the iv in his hand, and hasn't figured out for sure about the one in his neck. He kept asking what was on his ear, and I told him it was an iv, but not sure if he understood. He just kept saying something about "those people" put all that stuff on him. :) He did really well and I am so proud of how he handles everything. When he had a question I would answer/explain, and most of the time he would say, ok. I can't wait until he wakes up and we can wipe him off, put some clothes on him, and change his bedding. There is Popsicle juice everywhere from earlier! We haven't talked to the surgeon yet, but we met with dr Marx after the cath and he thinks it is time to replace the valve. I will let you know when we have a definite answer from the surgeon and a time for surgery on Wednesday. Thank you for your prayers, they were felt all day long!

Laura and Brian, we are so very thankful for the blogs that you all post, as we do check it many times each day to see how things are going for Sam and the two of you as well. I can't imagine the worry and stress that you two are facing every day waiting for each test, results and what each doctor might say. Rest assured that God has this under HIS control and there are many prayers being said for you all day and night. As we gathered at the alter last night, praying for Sam and the two of you, the power of God was ever present and we all know what the power of prayerful hearts can do. We may have only known you all personally for a short while, but I do hope that you all know that we and many more can feel the love of Christ from your family. Sam is so very blessed to have you as his parents, and the Bible tells us to nurture our children and bring them up in the admonition of the Lord, and that you have done very well. Sam blesses us all, by showing each of us that God can and will help us overcome even what seems to be the biggest of obstacles, and to see him and hear his precious voice praising God. Our daily prayers will continue and may God continue to bless you and guide the doctors and staff as they care for Sam.
