Love and Prayers coming your way from Wilmington Delaware. Hang in there Sam…and Margot and Neal, don’t ever second guess yourselves. You two are amazing and an inspiration.

Hey Marg,
So sorry for Sam; don’t feel bad about feeling bad – how you stay up so much of the time is nothing short of miraculous and, given the present circumstances you are entitled to be heartbroken for Sam. Even so, as everyone else has pointed out, if anyone can make it fun for him – it’s you! Tell Sam his cousins are wanting to see him and asking all the time when we are going to see the 3 boys.
Lots of Love,
Paul Kaz & kids

Neil and Margot,

The Whalen family is praying and pulling for Sam, I’m sure he will get plenty of candy and be well soon:)

Take care – Brian

Dang! We are keeping you in our prayers! Hey… who says Halloween has to be on the 31st… Pagans! I know Wateka is a gazillion miles away, but, I am sure that some really cool street in San Diego would happily do a Mulligan for Halloween… what kid would not want that.?!. So a shout out from Texas… San Diego… how about a Mulligan for Sam!

O-h-h-h n-o-o-o!!! For some reason I was thinking of you guys and on an impulse checked your blog . . . I am so bummed to read about Sam dealing w/ this issue over Halloween. I can imagine how very disappointed he must be and I am so so sorry. I hope Sam will be feeling great in a few days and that something really really fun will come along to lift his spirits. Sending buckets of love to the Hutchinsons. Shirley (mom of Simon, age 16, nbiv 98-01)

Saw you today and wondered where Sam was at. So sorry to hear all this. If you ever need someone to vent to and maybe scream at- I listen well. Angela (Madison’s Mom)

Crap, crap crap. I hate this for you guys! It’s just so stinkin’ unfair. I also hate these new regualtions that keep families apart at hospitals. How are you supposed to handle a holiday???? UGH! I’m sure you’ll bring your joy and cheer and love of life to the whole floor! Hans had Halloween of 06 inpatient and we did reverse trick or treating and handed out candy to the whole floor. Still it is not the same and it just stinks. Hope the OR went smooth.

Talk about a total bummer! I am so sorry. Hope Sam wears his tattoo sleeves all day tomorrow and freaks out the docs. Lots of good Halloween celebrations in above posts, so I know you will find a way to cheer him up – you guys are wonderful parents – don’t let the medical turkeys get you down. Jan

Hi guys-
Im sooo sorry that Sam is in the hospital. I know he might be bummed. One thing I saw when we were inpatient over Halloween was the reverse trick or treating where friends and random people (surprise people or nurses, doctors, friends) come to knock on his door with candy and he has to play a trick on them or vice versa. I hope he gets to wear his tattoo sleeves- those sound pretty awesome.
I feel so bad for Sam. As you said, you know you will make it up to him and that will get over the stinky part. Everyone will feel much better once the clotting is resolved- hang in there!
