Sam's Big Teaching - Part 2

Just a reminder, this Teaching is from 2008, Sam is hunky dory.  The story continues below...



Well, we knew that we were lucky, but we didn't know how lucky.  Everyone has been so wonderful in your support of Sam, Mike, Abby, and I. 

Sam is still hospitalized and we still don't know exactly what's going on.  His fever spiked to 107 and they had to put him in a cold bath and give him a shot to bring it down.  That worked and it came down to 104 and when we visited with him this afternoon, he was mobile, wanted to come home and ate some food.  All good signs, but the underlying problem is the low white blood count and the remaining fever.  Sam is scheduled to see an oncologist in the morning since cancer is a possible cause of a low white blood count (as is a very bad systemic infection).  We will know more tomorrow.

I can't thank you all enough for all of your prayers, spreading the word to others, and for your appreciation of just what a handsome and wonderful dog Sam is.  My mom said it very well, "It's easy to give thanks when things are going well, it's not so easy to give thanks when things aren't, give thanks for Sam."  So, I give thanks for Sam and for all of my friends and family.  There are people praying for Sam across the country.  Thank you all.

Take care and hug your family one extra time from us, today.

Jen and Mike
