HUGE victory this week!

Sam went back to work on Monday. Yes, went back to work.
I have to say that the company Sam has been working for has renewed my faith that there are good people out there who CARE about their employees. Sam knows he can easily be replaced and that was one of his HUGE fears through all of this.
From the first day Sam was in his accident his boss and company were right by my side. Assuring me they would do everything they can. That's not common in the construction field. They checked on Sam and I. They visited him in the hospital and they made sure he had something to come back to.
I can not begin to tell you what GLY and the benefits we have from the Carpenter's Union have meant to us through all of this.
Sam is doing a desk job as he improves health wise. It's been HARD! He was very tired after his first day as he PT on the same day. Yesterday he only lasted a few hours. Today he said he found a place he can go lay down during his breaks to give his arm some elevation. He takes no pain meds during the day so that he can be at work. He hurts, but it's what he wants to do. He is still taking meds at night to help witht he pain so that he can sleep.
He came home the first day to tell and told me that he was feeling pretty good. They had told him that they do not do this for people. But because of what an impression he has made on people and how hard of a worker he is...they needed to keep him around. This lifted Sam's spirits more than I can say. I have always known how awesome he is and how much he has to give, but what an awesome thing to have others see it too. To know that they are doing this for him...when it just doesn't happen, gives us more reason to know that we are truly blessed and that all those prayers and support for Sam are more than we can ever imagine. So again, we thank you for everything you have done for our family and especially SAM!!!!
THANK YOU!!!
