The Miracle of Laughter…
January 26, 2010 | Updates
Samuel nearly drowned in July of 2005.
He didn’t smile for 6 months.
When he first started to smile again, the smiles were few and far between.
But eventually, they came daily.
This summer, he started laughing.
It was a rare thing to hear him laugh at first.
Now, he laughs daily.
Here’s a small example…
Password is museum.
Password is museum.
They say you can only heal from a brain injury for the first 6-12 months.
This laugh returned 4 years after his brain injury…4 years!
It was a long time in coming and it is music to our ears every.single.time we hear it.
A miracle…
Love,
The Jewkes

I love it!!!! Colby has been laughing in his sleep lately. It’s to funny. Samuel gives me so much hope every time I see his videos. I think the doctors are crazy when they tell parents the 6 months to a year thing. Colby’s improved more after a year than he did that first year. Thanks so much for sharing Samuels beautiful laugh!

He sure is the cutest little boy… How precious to hear the sweet music of his laughter!! Especially laughter when there should be laughter - he completely understands. That is simply a miracle - amazing little guy you have there. Thank you for sharing such a sweet occasion.
Love you all!
