Toe Lassos and Wagon Rides

Samuel is doing so well today. He is happy and very active. First thing he started doing this morning was pulling on his IV and his leads. His favorite thing to play with is the pulse oximeter. He grabs onto the cord and pulls his toe up. It was on his right big toe and the IV is in his left foot so this morning he would pull the cord and the iv line so that both feet would come up at the same time. Luckily when the surgeon visited this morning and saw how well Samuel is doing, he discontinued all IV fluids and meds and put Samuel on a regular diet. Now he just has the pulse oximeter to pull on.





Because Samuel is doing much better he can now leave his room. The hospital has wagons and Samuel loves going for a ride in the wagon. We are hoping that the doctor will also give us the okay to leave this floor so that we can go to the Pirate Ship Playground!
Samuel loves his Curious George. He also really loves the frog that is sitting with him in the wagon. The frog was Samuel's Valentine from David's boss
