Sam continues to do well.
She was a trooper during the casting last week,
and her first pair of legs are on order!

The prosthetist called me at home later that day to tell me her shoe size will be 7.5,
and that she needed to bring shoes for our next visit,
so over the weekend she got a cute pair of shoes! We will be called when her legs are ready; I expect it to be sometime next month.

She's also having her tendon release surgery on her left hand next month,
and will spend at least one night at Cinti Shriner's. It will be good to have that
finger straightened out, and then she can start wearing a pressure glove on that hand. Her skin is really looking good, thanks to the garments.

The benefit in Bethel was lots of fun, and we met lots of great people --
many thanks to the Aeolus Motorcycle Club.

And, to top off all the excitement,
Uncle John bought Barney tickets for us for Sam's birthday,
and we will be going to see the big purple guy on April 2nd.
I'm sure Sam will be beside herself!

Thanks for continued prayers;
also, there are some new pix in the photo gallery.

Hey Sammy, I missed you at the beginning of this month but here you are again, looking very much alive and kicking with Barney under your arm.

I think that leg thing is very exciting. It must be a good sign that we don't hear about you that often any more but we for sure think of you and keep our fingers crosse.

Dear, sweet Sammy-girl!

You are one very lovely human being, and your parents are so very blessed having you in their lives. I know that you all have had immense hurdles to overcome and there may be a few left for you, hopefully not.

I have enjoyed your photos - love the one with your colorful friends - humans and stuffed!

You brighten up so many lives, Ms. Sammy.

(((((((((((((((((((Sammy))))))))))))))))))

Love and furry kisses,

Sas and her campers in Vermont

What a beautiful girl, and what a fighter, glad to hear you're doing better! The challanges you face will be nothing compared to what you and your family have already been through! Best of luck to you all!
