Comments on: Did I Mention… http://samuelsmiracle.com/updates/2010/06/11/did-i-mention/ Samuel is the miraculous survivor of a near drowning in 2005.

Forgive the duplicate in case it comes over this second time. I also made a typo on 'Hinckley' on the first one which is corrected on this one.) This photo of Samuel reminds me of the old song, “All I Want for Christmas is My Two Front Teeth”. What an adorable photo of him. I am so happy that he has improved so much. With all of what your family has gone through, this statement from Pres. Gordon B. Hinckley comes to my mind. It has certainly been a great inspiration to me the last seven months since Creig passed away. “It isn’t as bad as you sometimes think it is. It all works out. Don’t worry, I say that to myself every morning. It will all work out. Put your trust in God, and move forward with faith and confidence in the future, The Lord will not forsake us. He will not forsake us . . . if we will put our trust in Him, if we will pray to Him, if we will live worthy of His blessings, He will hear our prayers.” May the Lord continue to watch over your family.

We may test out the oral . .. although I am worried about the whole-body effects. We have avoided surgeries so far for the spasticity .. . we stretch like crazy and pray pray pray. I, too, think the HBOT helped us out. We haven't done any since our last round of 40 a little over a year ago. I miss it so much - and the wonderful release he got each time we did a dive. I don't think we have the long-term effects that you have, though . . . but the cost of that (which we paid out of pocket) was SOOO much less than insurance is having to pay for the Botox injections. Wish they would cover dives for CP, because we would continue. Keep an eye on my friend Alayna on FB. Remember, she was a dive tech at SLWC. She is working w/ a doc to start up a new clinic in SLC that is VERY interested in research-based HBOT. Maybe a chance for you to get back in it w/ Samuel??? Still keeping an eye on your work & progress . . thanks for the recent posts. I have missed updates.
