I don’t comment very often, but, I had to let you know Sam is in my prayers, all of you are.

I also wanted to say must be something about MRI’s and people named Sam. I actually fell asleep while getting a MRI a few years ago. That banging didn’t bother my sleep a bit.

Sending hugs to my favorite Sam!

wow, such unsettling news for you and yet, after your anger … you are able to look to the positive and think about home ! That is where Sam gets it… from you and Neil!!! Keep thinking of the good, even if you have to struggle to find it… Sam was terrified of the mask at first and now it doesn’t faze him! We continually hope for strength and courage for all of you, but yes, you have already become true champions to all of us! Prayers and much love,
Colleen and crew

Your entire family’s strength continues to awe and move me. I have no doubt that the immense love that surrounds Sam empowers his treatment. I hope you’re all at home together very soon!
Lots of love from your old neighbor,
Deborah

I absolutely HATE this disease. The rage you feel at hearing how wonderful he is at handling the unthinkable at any age let alone as a child is so warranted. Margot you are an amazing mom and Neil is an amazing Dad. The two of you and Andy and Charlie are exactly what the doctor ordered. Praying for you all to get out of there sooner rather than later. Sending you all tons of luv and hugs.

Love
Abra

I read this board religiously and I have such great respect for Neil and Margo and every other parent who picks up what is left of their child and marches into the Drs office only to hear disappointing news.

The human condition is represented by this board and it is spelled compassion.

Have courage and faith Red and Margs.

My heart breaks for you. Hoping all of you, especially Sam, get some respite from the pain and misery. “It sucks” seems too tame to cover it…. To quote ET, “HOME. HOME. HOME.”
