Sam had a great week in physical therapy and rehabilitation. He worked so hard that each night the nurses put ice packs on his sore shoulder muscles. Much of Sam's therapy focuses on range of motion with his arms. He's regaining strenth, re-learning motor skills and occupational tasks, such as eating. Sam fed himself breakfast this week. It's a good thing he's learning to feed himself since he was weighed on Saturday. Sam was shocked to learn that he's lost over 20 pounds in 3 weeks. In typical Sam fashion, he said, "Well, I'll just have to start a weight loss program. It will be better than Jenny Craig. All you have to do is NOT move your legs for three weeks and eat hospital food." Sam has also enjoyed wheelchair races down hospital hallways He's amazed at how fast he hauls in 4th gear (luckily, the nurses aren't allowed to kick him out). His wheelchair is no 350z, but it's satisfying his need for speed right now. More updates and photos to come! We have so much appreciated your comments, thoughts, and concerns. Thank you!

Hey Sam--
I had a dream last night that you were up and walking around...I think it's a good omen. Keep up the hard work! --A written by Kally, March 17, 2008
Ash-
I put the information about Sam on my blog and a friend of mine from BYU contacted me. You might remember her....Marianne Maycock- she was in the Heather Cove ward with us... Anyway, she works at a rehab center in Atlanta that specializes in Spinal Cord injuries. I'll post her email to me below. Let me know if you have any interest. Tell Sam he's a trooper and we're still praying for you both! I love you! Kally, This is Marianne (Maycock) Dunn from freshman year-in case you were a little confused, but I actually stumbled upon your blog and saw the story of your roommate's husband, Sam. I'm so sorry to hear about the accident and hope that he is doing better now. I'm assuming they live in Utah, but I guess I took particular interest because I am currently working as a therapist at a Catastrophic Care Hospital in Atlanta right now that specializes in Spinal Cord Injuries. It is called the Shepherd Center and is one of the top rated hospital/rehabilitation centers in the U.S. for spinal cord injuries. I realize it is across the country, but most of the patients we admit are from out of state. Here is the website http://www.shepherd.org and please let them know if they have any questions they are more than welcome to get a hold of me! I hope you all are doing well and please give them my best! -Marianne written by Jessica Munk, March 19, 2008
Ashley,
We hope Sam continues to improve. The night I found out about the accident I also had a dream that he was walking again. Our prayers are with you! Love, Jon and Jessica Munk written by Briana & Mika H., March 19, 2008
Ash--
So glad to hear that Sam is doing so much better. I agree; miracles happen--and more often that people believe. Please let us know if there's anything we can do. I hope that you and baby Benji are well and enjoying lots of time w/ Sam hopefully. Sam-- Keep up the great work with doing rehab and physical therapy. We know that you can do it! You've done so much already. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers! love, bri & mika written by Greg Brandt, March 19, 2008
Sammy,
We want you to know that you are in our prayers and that you are and have always been a great inspiration to me. Keep up the hard work! Greg and Dani written by Rita Messer, March 23, 2008
I am still praying for you faithfully..and thought you would be encouraged to know that a couple of my friends in Seattle are praying as well!

Sam & Ashley,
Sam last time I saw you was probably in high school. It's been a pretty long time. Someone from Monona passed the web link along to me, & I wanted to let you both know that my prayers - and the prayers of my church family here in Madison - are with you & your family. God does have a plan through this, and it will be amazing. Keep focused on the Lord. 2 Cor. 4:16-18 Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. Love in Christ, Stephanie written by Heather Sullivan, March 30, 2008
Sam and Ashley,
We thought that we'd be able to see you several times this week, but they moved us to LDS Hospital. Baby Eli was born last Thursday and has decided that he likes the peace and quite of the hospital and wants to stay. He'll probably be here another week while he learns to breathe on his own. Aunt Carol has been keeping us updated on you. We are so grateful to hear of the progress and improvement. You continue to be in our prayers. Love, Dave and Heather written by Briana & Mika H., April 05, 2008
Ashley & Sam,
Just wanted to let you know that you two and baby Benji are in our thoughts and prayers. I hope that you are all doing well and that things are good. Just wanted to let you know that we're thinking of you. Love, Bri & Mika written by devin wagstaff, April 21, 2008
We still think about you often and hope you are doing well. We would love an update when you get a chance. We hope you are still finding the joy in the simple things of life. Thanks for your example.

"The kid tried something new by going to Europe, and we'd like to see it work out for him."

written by fiverfigers, July 08, 2010 Had been thinking about Lindsey's new vibram fivefingers ever since she posted about them on this blog. When she first sent me a photo of these bizarre looking vibram five,I just laughed at their vibram fivefingers ridiculousness, thinking 'no way I'll ever put those things on my five finger feet!' But alas, once I saw them and read about them, I just couldn't stop thinking about them! I had to try them for myself. Last week I went to Blue five fingers Ridge Mountain Sports in Charlottesville, VA and tried on a pair of fivefingers kso. I tried both the Classics and the Sprints, but I liked the arch and heel support in the Sprints much vibram shoes better. Like my sister, I impulsively purchased a pair on the vibram five finger spot. Obviously I had to try them out right vibram finger away, so I mixed a little bit of walking and vibram five fingers running in since I had read many reviews explaining you need to vibram five fingers shoes gradually adjust your muscles to barefoot running.Running in these five fingers shoe is amazing. I actually am not a running fan, but these shoes make it feel more vibram five fingers fluid, light, and fun! After running/walking in them for the first two vibram kso days, I took a break to let my muscles vibram classic recuperate. This past weekend I broke them back out for some hiking and wouldn't you know, I fell even more in love with them. Although vibram flow walking over gravel in my Vibrams was a little vibram sprint uncomfortable, the rest of the hike was extremely fun and vibram fivefingers kso enjoyable. I am wanting to work out in my vibram 5fingers every day!Most of the vibram shoes sale, the fact that it is indeed more harm than good. The problem is that these shoes in order to “protect” in such a way that they should not be his leg.
