Well...we are still in the hospital! We were hoping to be home for Christmas, but now we are just hoping to go home early next week. Sam's sinus surgery went very well and his Dr. was convinced that he got everything cleaned out! Sam had a pocket of fluid behind his right ear tube again and "rubber cement like" snotty junk sitting in the left side of his sinuses. The pressure in there was most likely causing the redness in his left eye too. Our biggest obstacle now is waiting for him to start eating, drinking and going to the bathroom on his own. He continues to need IV fluids and a catheter. We are thankful for a better day today! The picture above shows Sammy with a smile, his first one for the past week! My parents and sister were able to venture through the 15+ inches of snow today to bring us a bit of Christmas cheer. We definitely do not plan to make a tradition out of celebrating Christmas in the toy room at the hospital! We are in the best place for Sam this Christmas and we are thankful to be together with a wonderful team of doctors caring for him. Merry Christmas to you from the Horstmeyers
