Sam is still struggling.  They were trying some different things on him this afternoon to see if they can get his levels figured out.  When we left his room about 5:30 pm, he was pretty stable and was very slowly starting to level out a little but is still a long way from being out the woods. 

Its so hard to sit there next to him knowing that there is nothing we can do except put our trust in the doctors and nurses, and know that he is in God's hands.

We are going up there with him this evening to celebrate his 1-week birthday at 11:17pm, and then we will stay with him until 12:00 for New Years. 

Please pray for Sam to begin to improve his oxygen levels and give the doctors and nurses the knowledge to help him as best as possible.

Jeff and I are still praying for Sam and you and Keenon. I am praying for the Lord to give the Doctors and nurses wisdom to know what to do to help Sam. I pray that the Lord holds the three of you extra close in the days and weeks ahead.

When I read your post this morning.........I started praying specifically for his oxygen levels. I will continue to pray for this and for the medical personnel to know just what he needs when he needs it. Enjoy your time with Sam this evening!

Praying specifically for Sam and his oxygen levels today! I hope the three of you are spending precious time together this evening. Praying Psalm 91:4 over you right now, "He will cover Ryan, Keenon, and Sam with His feathers and under His wings they will find refuge; His faithfulness will be your shield and buckler."
