[Edwina's Secretary]

I am so sorry.....thinking of all of you.....

[kimlovescats]

Still PRAYING and BELIEVING that God is in control. His perfect WILL shall be done.

"If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it!"

Love,

Still praying for little Sammy. I know God is taking care of her, and that she, along with her family, will get through this trial in life. Stay strong Little Sammy!

Just a poem I came across that I wanted to share...


GOD Knows Best

God knows what is best for us
So why should we complain
We always want the sunshine
But He knows there must be rain.
We always want laughter
and the merriment of cheer
but our hearts will lose
their tenderness
If we never shed a tear.

GOD tests us often
with suffering and sorrow
He tests us not to punish us
but to help us meet tomorrow.
For growing trees are strengthened
if they can withstand the storm
and the sharpness of the chisel
gave the marble its grace and form.

GOD tests us often
and for every pain
He gives us,
provided we are patient
Is followed by rich gain
So whenever we feel that
everything is going wrong
Remember it is just GOD'S way,
to make our spirit strong.

I'm so sorry things have been so up and down with baby Samantha. I'm praying that she can overcome this horrible monster that's invaded her little body. Praying for a miracle.

I just went and did that right now. I hope it will help lessen the pain a bit.

Johanna, know that I continue to pray for Sammy, Jessica, Rob, and your entire family. I know God will do what He knows to be the best for precious little Sammy. {{{{{Hugs}}}}}

I cannot imagine the pain, frustration and fear you're dealing with.

Please know that you all are in my thoughts...and my prayers. I pray God gives you some hope and relief right now...you need and deserve it.

Today's update from the Carepages:


This is Johanna, and I am posting on behalf of Jessica and Rob:

Sam has been re-admitted to Children's. Sam's heart rate has been brought down, and her blood pressure has been regulated again. Her lungs and heart appear to be fine. She is back on dialysis, and is a little swollen again, due to the increase in fluids. Right now, we are waiting for enough stability to move forward with the next step, which is to have the surgery that she needs. We are just waiting right now. At this time, we are still requesting no visitors, we just want to get through this crisis. Please continue to hold Sam in your prayers.

********

Samantha is in the prayers of my entire congregation, and will be mentioned in prayers at other places, including an acute care prayer group at a hospital west of here this week. Someday Sammy might know how many people she's got praying for her, but for now, we'll just all keep at it. I am glad she is more stable again, and that things are looking a bit better.

I am still praying for your family. This is such a sad thing to happen to your family. May God make you strong throughout this ordeal.
