Well, '06 is off to a decent start; Sam is home, and improving more each day. She continues to eat by mouth, but only what she wants...it was Honeycombs for a couple days, then hot dogs, and now Cheetos. She is definitely her father's daughter!! She's still not crawling around, but is turning herself around while sitting, so I know she'll be zooming around again in no time. She's pretty much back to herself in all other ways, though, and is busy cracking us up. I'll update again after her Children's check-up on Friday.
Thanks,
Jessica

Since Phred can't be here to do this I will fill in.
Go Sammy

Corinna, thanks for the update.

Sammy, bless your little heart - what a joy to hear that you are
demanding only the foods you love - now that sounds pretty normal to me.

And that you are making Mom and Dad laugh............they need that and you know it, don't you?

Honeycombs, hotdogs and Cheetos! Sounds like a good snack to me Lord love you Sammy.. and so do we.

Sammy if I was you I also would take advantage of the situation regarding snacks Now they are happy for every bite and healthy veggie time will come soon enough.

Sam was a big girl during her check-up and didn't cry once; the visit included a finger stick and a shot, so we were impressed by how brave she was! I won't know about the lab results until Monday, but her BP was fine and so is her weight. She will continue to take some formula through the tube over the next couple weeks, but it should be out this month, as we begin to give her less and less, allowing her to develop a bigger appetite during the day. She enjoyed some chicken nuggets last night. The spots on her skin that took a hit during this last illness are healing up nicely, and each day she's stronger.
Thanks,
Jessica

She's so incredable. such a strong spirit.
