Hey everyone...I have a bit of a 'good' uppiedate!!!

Johanna's sister, Jenna (birdangel on PT), just sent me an email with an update on Baby Samantha. She said she talked to Johanna this morning, and it seems Samantha is improving. She said the doctors are now seeing signs that she may recover, and they're amazed and hopeful. They feel that Divine Intervention has occurred several times for Samantha, during times when they almost lost her.

I know God is standing there, right beside this sweet child, and listening to our prayers. Its good news that she has made it through all these days, and that she's finally improving. Let's all continue to pray and pray, sincerely. May God answer us, and restore Baby Samantha's health completely.

I hope Johanna will have an even better update for all of us soon. Just thought I'd let you all know what I know at this point.

That is so good to hear! Come on Samantha you CAN do it. More prayers on the way.

Many prayers for Samantha and the whole family. (Sorry I did not see this earlier)

Thanks for that update pop. Mark and I were just talking about Samantha this evening. I sure hope that sweet little girl comes through all of this.
I know for sure she has people all around the world saying prayers for her

I just now lit a fresh new candle in my window for this fresh new baby girl. I'm not much for the prayers to whomever thing but I know there is a higher power of some kind, and that higher power will look after this dear child of love. That is the power of love. In that I do believe.

I just got back from the hospital. Sammy is still 'stable', but, critical. She didn't get any worse during the day, for which I am thankful. But, she didn't get 'better' either. Her heart rate is at 150-155, down from over 200. 'Normal' is 100-120. So, there is alot of room to come down. Again, it isn't 200 anymore. The small glimmer of hope experienced this morning seems gone now, 12 hours later. I suppose the roller coaster is just getting started. I guess any way you look at 'critical' it is still critical.

Apparently, there is a stage II to this disease, and it seems that Sammy is entering into it, sadly. While the medical team anticipated this, and is as prepared as they can be, obviously, it is distressing to us. It will do some damage to this little girl.

I just don't know what to say. Please continue to pray for Sammy, my sister Jessica, and her husband Rob. This is just too much to handle.
