I think I was too sad to post after yesterday's visit. The doctor seems to think Sammy will lose both her hands and her feet. He said the chances are probable. What heavy, heavy news, and such a blow for my sister. She said, "It isn't me that I care about, I will always care for Sammy. It is Sammy that I care for, as she will remember that she had feet and hands...".

I pushed the doctor to tell me that he couldn't say for sure that she would lose these limbs, and he said it was true, he couldn't say for sure.


Please, God, don't do this to this tiny child. Please.
