Still thinking of Sammy...

Oh no! I hope Samantha gets over this disease...I don't know much about it, but gosh, it sounds pretty scary!!

I spent my first night at home last night, which was weird,
but I slept well, and I suppose it did me good
to get away for a while. I know she's in great hands here.

She had a good night, and looks very nice after a shampoo and
new pigtails--complete w/a little dress and matching hair accessories.

She's far less "puffy" today;
they gave her lots of fluids yesterday during surgery,
but she's getting back down to normal now.

No big plans today, and as far as I know, just a dressing change for tomorrow.
Thanks, as always, for the continued prayers.

Jessica

Part of getting better and feeling better is looking better, and we are glad Sammy is looking more like herself, and that you got a good night's rest.

[rizzy]

I am glad things are looking better for Samantha, I hope everything continues to improve. Little Sammy is in my thoughts and prayers. {{{{hugs}}}}

How horrid... I'm so glad to hear that she is doing better! I'll be sure to keep praying for little Sam... I hope everything turns out good in the end.

Samantha is still in my thoughts and prayers, I pray for the day you'll be bringing her home!

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

So glad to hear she continues to do as well as can be expected. That's one little fighter you've got there Jessica.

Keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers. I just know she will be well enough to come home real soon.

[krazyaboutkatz]

I'm so glad to hear that Sammy is doing better. Lots of prayers and postive thoughts are still being sent your way.

[Barbara]

That's a nice picture now you gave us of Samantha with her little pigtails (BTW In Germany you call them rattie tails ).

I am so glad she's doing fine after her surgery and am glad you had a little time for yourself- re-charging the batteries a little.

The dressing change went fine, and Sam will be back upstairs shortly.

The surgeon said he didn't encounter any problems, and
the grafts he's done so far are taking.
Another dressing change is scheduled for Saturday;
the doctor needs to do some more grafting as well,
but wants to give Sam a rest, so we're not sure when that will happen.

She's still fighting a lung infection;
it's hard to get rid of while she's intubated.

Other than that, we're in the usual wait-and-see mode, and,
as always, hoping and praying for the best.

Jessica

Prayers that the lung infection clears up quickly!!
{{{HUGS}}} for Sammy + Mom & Dad!

Prayers are already being prayed for Samantha and all of you that love her. If it's okay with all of you, I would like to add Samantha to the prayer concerns at my church. The congregation will offer prayer every Sunday at our regular service and our prayer team will offer prayer every day.

It is no secret what God can do,
What He's done for others,He'll do for you.....

They've gone down a little on Sam's sedation,
so she does open her eyes from time to time.

They are also discussing having a catheter put in on Monday,
which will be an easier way to deal w/dialysis.
Other than that, she's still scheduled for a dressing change tomorrow,
and another one on Monday.

Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers.

Jessica
