Sam had a Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy on December 14, 2010. The procedure should relieve a lot of his lower body spasticity and make walking much easier and his future physical development much more normal.
Day 1: Surgery day. This was taken just a little while after he came out of anesthesia.
Day 2: Sam was feeling a little better, but still not able to move. He wanted to open his presents from Grandma and Grandpa Mundy. One was a new Nintendo DS. He was excited and gave me this "smile". He was too tired to play it, but told everyone who came in the room about it.
Day 3: Playing DS with Ben. Sam played a little too.
Day 4: Sam is OUT! Sam got out in his wheel chair and saw some of the hospital. He did some therapy in the gym and had a great time. He also got dressed!!
Day 6: Ben and Sam hanging out.
We went to "Monday Night Live" in the evening. Watched a Christmas movie and did some projects. Sam is sitting up very well in his wheel chair. He'll soon be able to use his own chair.
