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

I'm so glad to hear about this progress - what a trooper Sammy is! Seeing the pictures of her smiling face is wonderful.

I will be sending positive thoughts to sweet little Sammy and her family, and hope she'll be spoiled for the rest of her life.

Happy Easter girl! You deserve the biggest Easter egg there is.

[Barbara]

Sammy- you rock! I still can't believe how happy you can look at us.
I understand well that walking with these things is not that much exciting- but it will be nothing compared to what you've been through.

Wish you a good visit of the Easter bunny

Tears flowing on the West coast as well.............bless her heart!!

I wish your entire family the Happiest Easter - and all of the many blessings that come with this religious holiday.

Sam is such a stinker! The things Jessica doesn't share with the world....Sam woke up, ready to greet the day, at 3 am on Friday morning! They checked out of Shriners sooo early that day, and were home by 830.

Once this tendon issue is behind her, I expect Sam to be full speed ahead.

Well, the pin came out yesterday; they elected to keep it in an extra week.
The graft seems to have taken, and Sam only has to wear a splint
overnight for a while; Shriner's gave her gloves for her left hand as well.

She's not used to having that hand free again, and still holds it up when she
scoots around, but I'm sure it won't take long for her to realize she can use it.

The legs are still not high on her list, and we haven't been pushing it too hard
due to the hand surgery, but now that she can use her walker again,
we're going to make it a priority, and walking will be a major goal for this summer.

Otherwise, Sam's doing well and feeling great!

Thanks,
Jessica
