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

New update, new prayers needed:

105 December 18, 2005 at 08:41 PM EST
Today was not a good day; Sam is extremely lethargic and basically not responding to us at all. It appears that the anti-seizure meds are the cause, and they are working on modifying that. She also has diarrhea, a nasty fever blister on her mouth, and a fair amount of discomfort/bleeding from her old graft sites. It's very hard to see her like this and not be able to comfort her at all. Please say some extra prayers for her tonight, in the hopes that tomorrow will be a better day.
Thanks,
Jessica

Oh that poor baby.

Many prayers for you Samantha, we all need to you stop hurting. I am crying for you and your family, but I am also trying to send you all some strength to get through this.

Karen, thank you for posting this. As much as I've been wrapped up with my own issues with Speckles, I've never stopped praying for this little girl in the hopes that she will be home for Christmas.

Sending many prayers your way.

Poor Sammy.

Lots more prayers and positive thoughts are being sent her way.

**Barbara** · 12-19-2005, 09:32 AM

Ok, Sammy, we all know that you and your purrents and all of us were happier if you could come home- but if you don't there will be a Christmas party in the hospital and we all will be there with you- in our thoughts.

Most important is that you get over that nasty infection and over the meds side effects.

Since laughter is the best medicine and humor cures all ills, I would like to point out that Samantha has PARENTS not purrents.......

Isn't it funny how we "animal people" think?? I have been know to say that I had a vet appointment (when I meant a doctor appointment.....LOL)

I am not making light of the situation, I am praying hard for Samantha and her family, but I think we could all use a little giggle.

Sending prayers on your way, little Sammy...

**lbaker** · 12-19-2005, 01:18 PM

Jen, when you meet small children do you give them head and ear critches? I've been known to

Have a better day dear little Sammy

**popcornbird** · 12-19-2005, 03:46 PM

Precious Sammy, please get well again soon.

Sending more prayers, and lots of love your way. God will help you through this as He did before, little one.

Maybe I forgot how that word was written

Anyway purrents sounds even warmer and I am sure Sammy girl can need all warm feelings we can send

I keep wanting to know more about how she is doing, all the while, knowing that it is taking so much energy just to see her through the daily routine of testing and medicating etc. that that probably leaves little time to sit down and type on a keyboard.

I just cannot imagine the strength it takes to get through difficult times like these. Sammy's parents are so terrific. My gosh.

((((((((((((Sammy and parents))))))))))))))))))))

Merry Christmas you three. I hope Santa stops by and is good to you.

Bless you hearts.
