Johanna (Cataholic) & Sister Jessica continue to Request Prayers for young Samantha

I agree Phred.

God:
I do think it's time to put a stop to all this heartache. This family has been through enough and I pray that little Sammy will get well can be home for Christmas Day! Please, can you place your healing hands in just the right spot to bring peace to this family. Thanks God.

I'm so sorry to hear about Sammy. Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are being sent to both her and her family.

I simply hurt for this family............Dear God, please, this is now too much to ask of all three of this family.

I continue to pray HARD for Sammy.

Such sad news for such a lovely family. I hope that things settle down and Sammy turns the corner for home, soon. She needs our good thoughts, vibes, prayers and toss in a little luck, can't hurt. Oh my.

Oh- it is so sad to hear that. Sending all my love and hopes that Sammy is going to better soon.

Today is a better day! ~~ Sam had no seizures overnight,
and they suspect the seizures were from a drug she's been on;
the spinal tap was negative, thank God,
so there's no reason to think a more "sinister" reason lies behind the seizures.

She's much more alert today, and has spoken to us!!!
When Daddy held her favorite toy school bus in front of her,
she said, "Hi, school bus!"

She also looked at me and said, "Mama",
and when Daddy handed her something,
she said, "Thank you, Daddy",
so we think she's back!

She's still very tired, as seizures wipe you out for a while,
plus all the testing and meds, so nobody expects her to be overly perky,
but we're so happy and relieved to see her responding appropriately
and interacting a bit.

Thanks,

Jessica

With that excellent news (thanks Phred for posting it), I can now begin the day not quite so worried about little Sammy. But I won't stop the prayers.

I can just imagine, when she says "Mama" or "Daddy" under these circumstances you must just fall apart with your heart singing at the same time.
