I just can't effectively communicate how much it means to me that you are following this horror with us. Everyday is either a really, really 'high' or a really, really 'low', and it is exhausting at times. My sister has been like a rock through it all, never faltering, always faithful, though, of course, at times, scared beyond belief.

It is nearly unfathomable, the experience. It is beyond words at times. I am so thankful that the doctors are finally talking about Sam leaving the PICU. It will be a long road to recovery, estimated at 6-12 months in the hospital, alone, then rehab at home.

I am sure my sister and Rob appreciate all the love and support pouring in from around the world. I do believe it has made a significant difference.

Thanks again for standing so strongly behind us.

Love,
Johanna
