So, the good news is... Sam's surgery went great and the feeling in Sam's arm has been restored.  The not so great news is... with that feeling comes a lot of pain.  Sam is still in the hospital due to the level of pain he is in and also due to an unexpected fever.  It's hard for me (and probably most of us) to fully understand the amount of pain he is in because I have never injured my arm to the extent that he has.  Allison said that it is so bad that he can barely talk through it and he gets agitated very easily because of it.  Sam appreciates all the phone calls and visit offers, but is having a hard time carrying on any kind of conversation.  We're hoping his pain will soon be managed so he can be social again. :)
