I just read the latest update and this little angel is quite the fighter isn't she? This precious life has had such a difficult start; it can only mean that when she gets through this, she'll live a long and happy life. We've got to keep the faith. Hang in there Sammy! You've got continuing prayers happening from all over the world and your Auntie Johanna can confirm that Pet Talk Prayers do work miracles.

I look forward to the day, in the near future, when we can see pictures of you safe at home in your little bed.

Sammy for sure is a fighter and we will take all our concentration to help her

[Cincy'sMom]

More prayers for Sammy!

I just read the latest update and I'm so glad to hear that Samantha is such a fighter and doing so well. I hope nothing comes of the collapsed lung and she gets over yet another hurdle.

Thinking of you all every day and saying many prayers.

The latest update on Sammy's Care Page;

This is Johanna, posting on behalf of Jessica and Rob:
Jessica just called, and reported that Sam has had a pretty uneventful day. The pulmonary people x-rayed the lungs again, and said they looked better today then they did yesterday. The doctor said, "I wish I could take credit for this, but, I think Sam is beginning to heal herself" or something to that effect. Jessica said that they are removing one chest tube today, and the other one tomorrow. That is a step in the right direction. Sam opened her eyes last night, when Jessica was asleep. Jessica asked how she was, and the nurse thought that Sam looked 'scared'. Jessica will be asking that the night nurses wake her from now on, so that she might be there when Sam opens her eyes again.

The road will be long, no doubt about it. I just want to rejoice for the teeny tiny signs of progress that Sam is making. Jessica and Rob are without a computer until Tuesday, and Sam will have her surgery in the evening. So, the next post will possibly be from me again. Keep Sam, Jessica and Rob tightly in your hearts and prayers!

Johanna

A tiny progress is better than a setback.

Keep fighting sweetheart and remember we are all pulling for you.

Prayers and positive thoughts still on the way.

Thinking of you every day Samantha.

Johanna, How are Sam's arms? I know they were worried for them as well as the legs. And when the update said that the only "good" skin for grafts could come from the back or head I wondered how badly her arms were being effected.

[smokey the elder]

Keep on fightin' little girl. Gentle {hugs} to you and your family.

[catnapper]

Still thinking about her, and praying for her. I hope she is continuing in her small steps towards healing.

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Prayers still flying for you, sweet Samantha! and for your entire family too!
