Welcome to the Bob Blog.  "Bob" is Sam's alter ego.  Before Sam was born, Ben decided his name should be Bob.  (We should have known better than to ask, right?) And it stuck.   As Sam gets better and better, Ben calls him "Bob" a little less.  We think when Sam wakes up, "Bob" will disappear completely as far as Ben is concerned.  As for the rest of us, well, Bob's a hard habit to break...

I'll try and keep everybody updated on Sam's progress, my thoughts, our daily ups and downs.  It's tough sometimes, and I don't do as well as I'd like.

A little better all the time
We're still going to hyperbaric oxygen treatments every day, and I really think it's bringing Sam "out".  He's complaining more (oh, yay) and responding, slightly, to so many new things he never seemed to notice before. 
 
He turns 4 at the end of the month, and this year we are going to have his first "kid party" and invite some kids his age.  It's hard for me - I don't know how I'll make it through, because his birthday requires me to relive his birth.  I do that enough on a regular basis; actually "celebrating" that day shoves me right over the edge. I try to look at it as a day that miracles happened, but it's not that easy to convince myself all the time. 
 
But I know he knows what's going on, and he definitely wants and deserves a birthday party.  And so we shall celebrate.  If you should see me sobbing in a corner, just walk on by and don't blow my cover.  I'll be okay in a minute.
