For some reason, I'm not getting the alerts with Samantha's updates through my email anymore, but I sure am glad that they are being posted here, so I can try to keep up!

She remains at the top of our prayer list.

Oh wouldn't it be wonderful if Sammy came home in August? We'll keep our fingers crossed for an early release

Oh what wonderful news....I hope August is the month for her return home.

Continued prayers being sent.

I'll be hoping extra-hard for Sammy, that she gets home this month.

Keep getting better sweetheart!

The BEST update yet!!!!!!!

From the CarePages:

Well, it looks like home is absolutely on the horizon--they are talking about discharging us Monday!!!!! We're in a state of disbelief, but I guess when we walk out of here with her in our arms (as Daddy has been threatening to do for weeks now), we'll know it's real! So she's ready for home; now it's just a matter of getting home ready for her! We'll know the results of the kidney function test tomorrow, I think; at this point, her numbers look good, though, so we're praying for the best. We'll have a big meeting this week w/the attending physician & various subspecialists, and hammer out some sort of discharge/outpatient game plan. For the time being, the feeding tube will stay in, until she's more eager to take things by mouth. The dialysis catheter will likely stay in, too, but her other line (for meds) will be taken out Friday. She will finish her methadone at home, and she takes that through her feeding tube. So.....it's very wonderful and scary and miraculous all at once, not unlike the day I received my beautiful baby back in December. Seems like a million years ago. I will still post updates after we leave here, as I'm sure Sam has many amazing feats in store for us! Please pray for Sam's safe homecoming and continued progress; your prayers have obviously helped tremendously!!
Thanks,
Jessica, Rob & Sam

Yay, yay, yay!!!!

Its just WONDERFUL to hear Sammy's going home soon now! More prayers, hugs, and love being sent your way, little Sam!
