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

[Cataholic]

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

Sammy good to hear from you! You'll soon be soo glad you can use that pawsie

I surely hope things are running smoothly for you and your family, sweet child.

I think of you often and wish you only the most fun things in life from now on.

You are such a special girl to all of us.

Love,
Sas and her campers

Thanks for bumping this up SAS. I just noticed that this thread was started a year ago and just look at the progress that Sammy has made.

I hope you are doing well Sammy and I'm blowing you kisses from Canada.

{{{hugs}}} for Jessica and family.
