Sam the Man

Updates

Well, we have seen so many specialists in the past few weeks. However, not much has changed. They all feel that there is something wrong with Sam with his breathing and lack of growth. We have seen an allergy specialist, the ear specialist, the breathing specialist as well as the pediatrician. One doctor recommended that Sam get an x-ray of his adenoids done. He felt that it may be the cause for his increasingly heavy breathing. We did that today and will probably know something tomorrow. As far as his therapy goes, Sam is making some strides with his physical therapy. He is trying his best to keep up with Elijah. It is really hard to see Eli do so many things so naturally while Sam struggles to do them very unnaturally. He is not making much improvement with his speech lately. Jeff and I are considering putting him in more therapy. It will be very expensive but well worth it, I am sure. Tomorrow, I will be visiting the school that Sam will be going to in January. Please pray for us. The thought of Sam going to school just scares me being that he is only three. He just seems so little. I do have a friend who's son has some similar problems as Sam. She said that the school has helped her son out so much. I hope so. He will then be evaluated to see how much therapy he will need as well as how many days he will need to go. My prayers are that Sam will be able to be caught up by the time he reaches school age. We definitely have our work cut out for us.
