Sam was a big girl during her check-up and didn't cry once; the visit included a finger stick and a shot, so we were impressed by how brave she was! I won't know about the lab results until Monday, but her BP was fine and so is her weight. She will continue to take some formula through the tube over the next couple weeks, but it should be out this month, as we begin to give her less and less, allowing her to develop a bigger appetite during the day. She enjoyed some chicken nuggets last night. The spots on her skin that took a hit during this last illness are healing up nicely, and each day she's stronger.
Thanks,
Jessica

She's so incredable. such a strong spirit.
