A negative doctor (neurologist) came in today.  He gave a negative opinion about Sam's recovery.  Our faith is strong that Sam will recover.  The Lord will heal him.  All of his counts look good.  Liver and kidneys are worrying us a little bit.  His CPK was elevated, worrying us about a possible muscle problem.  The doctors have two blood pressure medicines weaned off.  He's running a temperature, but we don't know why.  His cerebral spinal fluid didn't show any infection.  Sam's leaking problem with his blood vessels is turning around.

**The neurologist that talked to my parents and said, "You will never know the son you loved again.  Or he could wake up and say a couple of words, but I doubt it.  I don't think he will ever wake up."  My mom told him that was his opinion and walked away.  From that point on any time my parents heard that this neurologist was looking for them, they would hide.  They just were not interested in hearing his opinion.
