It has been exactly 4 months (16 weeks) since this tragic occurrence took place. The doctors at that time did not think Sam would survive. She has certainly made great progress since that day, but has a long, tough and uncertain road ahead of her.
Today when I arrived I found that Sam had been placed in the Dining Room, next to the window which looks out onto the 495 expressway. She along with 16 other patients were lined up in the room all facing the large screen T.V., but many, like Sam were fast asleep. I decided to take her into her room where we had a peacefull afternoon. She (and I), both dozed on and off while the nice spring breeze was coming through the window. Sam seemed quite content and acknowledged my presence numerous times throughout the day. She did ask me at one point, why this had happened, and I was at a loss for an explanation. I told Sam she needed to rest-up so that she could get ready for Disco Sunday tomorrow with her friends Wendy and Aileen. She laughed, seemed quite pleased and I left it at that.
