Keep staying strong, Sammy! I know you can do it! More prayers on the way.....
Awww, those kisses sound SO SWEET!!!! The prayers continue for little Sammy. I am thrilled to know she's doing so much better now.
It is so great to see that the steps are getting a little bigger. So much love in these kisses- I am glad for you both

Sam's a bit more awake today;
she had dialysis late yesterday afternoon, and is finishing up a session now as well. They think her electrolyte balance may have been off (due to fluid overload), and that may have been causing her excessive drowsiness.
She vomited a couple times overnight, so they've stopped her feeds for a while and will change tubes again, and stop directing the feeds straight to the belly to give her a rest. They are also checking for anything like pancreatitis, in case that's causing the vomiting.
In other news, she had both OT and PT this morning, and did very well.
She now has a hip splint as well as hand splints, to keep all positioning correct, and to aid in flexibility/mobility later. Overall, she continues to do fine, though, so we're still hoping for rehab next week.
I also plan on taking some pics of Sammy soon, and maybe Aunt Johanna can put them in the photo gallery, so everyone can see how pretty Sam's looking these days!
I may not have PC access until after the holiday,
so please send prayers Sam's way for a good weekend.
Thanks,
Jessica

Oh yeah Sammy- we still keep our fingers paws and tails crossed- this time for a happy 4th of July weekend
On this very special Independence Day weekend, let's all pray that Samantha and family can have even a bit of independence from pain and worries and be able to celebrate the birth of Sam's hopefully new wellness track
Prayers that Sammy does well over the long weekend, and I can't WAIT to see pictures of her sweet self!
She's our own Pet Talk firecracker, may she have a happy Independence Day, and a healthier and healthier holiday weekend! Welcome to your first July 4th in America, Sammy!
ahhhh, Karen - I could not say it better. Bless you and all...
Yes, Karen, this little one has so many aunts and uncles just on Pet Talk that are pulling for her.
I think I will have to speak to Amberlee who was good about organizing a quilt earlier.
I think it would be a great idea if we were able to make a special quilt for Sammy from all of the Pet Talkers that have been praying so hard for this baby girl.
Sammy - I send you kisses and waves this special holiday.......we all love you!
I just saw the new pictures of Sammy up on the care page. What a CUTIE pie, and looks like she has been through so much. What a trooper!!!
Here's our little Sammy >>>
