We make the EasyStand standing frame that I believe Sam is using at rehab. You are an inspiration, and true hero. The photo of you two is beautiful. Take care.

I hope that things are going well at CareMeridian - that you're comfortable there and have been working with some great people. Congrats on the apartment, Erin!! It must be wonderful to have a place that is yours and yours only after so long. And to be home near family and friends must be the greatest therapy on the planet for both of you. God bless you Sam & Erin and your families. There are always thoughts, prayers, support and loads and loads of extra special Angel Hugs coming your way, each and every day. And they always will. - Kris, a Soldiers' Angel from RI Hey there Sam, Erin & Families — just stopping by to let you all know that as always you’re in my thoughts and my prayers – each and every day.

In keeping up with you two through the blog that Tony does, I wonder who is tougher--the Marine or Erin. Maybe Erin should be made an honorary Marine. Because both of you are tough and that means strong if faith and strong in love. Our prayers continue to be with you both for strength and for totally healing. So far-so good. God bless you both.

You are truly inspiring and uplifting to so many of us as we have watched you struggle, pray, and clung to God's promises. Welcome back to Sacramento and I pray God continues to bless you in this and all future chapters of your lives. I didn't know there was going to be a special Memorial Concert on PBS but ran across it Sunday night; and there I saw the picture of Erin and Sam. It brought tears of joy and thanks to my eyes!

I am excited that Sam is so close now, and will be able to be enveloped in regular laying on of hands and saturated with hands on prayer! What a gift to all! I am continually excited about Sam's ongoing progress. He is a Medical Miracle! When the Secretary of Defense, his wife, and the hospital representatives in Palo Alto heard Sam's story, and what a miracle he is...they had tears in their eyes, and some down their cheeks. Sam & Erin continue to inspire us all. I hope they know how proud everyone is of them! Lots of love to you!

I am so happy for Sam and Erin, and all of your family and friends, to have them home again! What a blessing! I hadn't known about the photo on PBS and hadn't seen the blog, but I flipped on the TV to catch the show, got distracted and walked away from the set for awhile, and just when I returned to my TV chair, there were Sam and Erin! What a great surprise! Father God, Continue to hold this couple, their family and friends, all Sam's caregivers and their congregations in Your infinitely loving and healing hands. Restore Sam from head to toe, from outermost to innermost. Uphold Erin and all the family in safety as they travel. We pray in His Name, Amen! Praise God! I am so happy for Sam and Erin, and all of your family and friends, to have them home again! What a blessing!

I had a nice visit with your parents last night. They told me that your husband Sam is doing so much better..that's great!!!! They are thrilled to have you so close to home as I am sure you are happy to be close to your parents and sister as well. I continue to think you of both and keep you in my prayers.
