I wish I could tell you I have good news to report on Sammy. I do not. Things are just as dire as they were last night. Sammy is sedated on morphine, is in kidney failure, and will begin dialysis today. She is intubated, on a ventilator, and more medical stuff that I can't even begin to fathom. She is in PICU (ped ICU), and will be having a surgery tonight to relieve the pressure in her legs, or she runs the risk of losing them. Her kidneys won't function, so, she is heavily swollen with fluids. Her blood pressure has become more stable, and the staff indicated THAT she survived the night is a teeny, tiny ray of hope. There is no prognosis, the efforts are simply to save her right now.

It couldn't be more worse, and my heart is so broken for Sammy, my sister and brother in law. All this way from China, for a chance at a much better life, and then to have this happen.


Please continue the prayers. Please.
