Getting into room after surgery
New prizes to open for distraction

Nurse Molly!!!!!! and Ms Andrea....*loooooove*
(We were doing our best to distract Samuel while Ms Molly peeled off face tape to reposition the NG tubing.... ie, NOT fun)
New book and prizes from Ms Andrea + Julian.....sooooo grateful for you......and thank you thank you thank you for all the coffee + emergency breakfast food for Mom......GOD BLESS YOU
Loves his teddy from the Bath Family...and mama loved her coffee, too!
We find reasons to be silly :-P
She looooves her big brother (she just wanted to hug him)
I made a bargain w/ Samuel that if I could make the wheelchair the most comfy chair in the whole world, he'd come downstairs to visit w/ Mawmaw + Trinity....he didn't really buy into it, but he humored his mom :)
More silly times
Checkin' out the belly
"thumbs up"
Mom is silly with everyone :)
The IV pole looked like a crazy alien spaceship at night!!!! Look at all those lights!!!!
(with the lights on) An INSANE amount of tubes..........
Also loves his stuffed monkey from the Wells Family (xo)
NOT amused to paint, but we kept forcing him to have some kind of fun :)
Chillin' with Pops
This is how they roll......
.......oh yeah
School time w/ Ms Tifanie!!!
Video game time
Sponge bath!!....this was an attempt to cheer him up (or at the very least to motivate him to SIT UP)....first pseudo-smile we had seen in a bit
This was (and forever will be) the skinniest anyone ever saw Samuel :/
He jacked one of his nurses for her watch
(prior to jacking another nurse for her iPhone for the day)...too stinking cute.
There's that smile!!!!!
Building Angry Bird figures from molding clay with "The Art Lady"
Best fun he'd had in weeks!!!

Napping (LOL)
More napping.......
Lots of sleeping and resting and laying around for a while here....

LOOOOOOOOVES his Maximus puppy from good friends Dirk + Laura (+ son Christian)
Thank you, thank you! This ginormous thing rode around on the IV pole with him EVERYwhere, haha! Brought smiles to bunches of kiddos on the floor every time Samuel walked by with him :)
Making more clay toys
Some days....just not so good.
Best sign ever from the best school ever!!!!! (this is huge by the way, at least 5 feet long!)
Toys and prizes and crafts and games!!!!!
Balloons! Balloons!
First blood transfusion...was not a very pleasant experience, but praise God there were NO allergic or otherwise "negative" reactions.
[After being there a couple weeks, we moved into a (much!) bigger room w/ way more windows...definitely a good change!]
Mooooore napping....
Daddy snuggled with Samuel to comfort him during the transfusion
Coolest toys! "Sing-a-ma-jigs" from Mrs Palmer!!!! Loooooove 'em :)
