Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!

This is great news. What a difference you and your family made for Samantha- and what a difference she makes for all of us![]()

Happy Spring...well, maybe.
Sam's been doing well since the last update.
Her renal labs continue to be the same, and between preK and PT,
she managed to find time to celebrate her 5th birthday last month--so hard to believe!
We went to clinic in Lexington in February, and they confirmed what several of us had suspected-
-she'd outgrown her legs! We went down for casting shortly after that, and we just returned
from a week-long stay with Sam's new legs,which bend at the knee.
No more starter legs for Sam! Of course, it's a whole new ballgame, and
will be a major transition--Kate will be busy w/her in therapy. The prosthetist did put
what they call a "spring assist" in the knee joints, so they will straighten and lock a little on their own,
until she gets used to them and has better control. I was very proud of how hard she worked in Lexington,
and what a big girl she's getting to be.
Needless to say, she charmed everyone she met!
In less exciting news, the dentist gave Sam her first fillings...but Sam was brave,
and we got through it!
Enjoy some new pics in the gallery, and
keep Sam in your thoughts as she begins this new phase.
Thanks,
Jessica
Happy Fifth, Sammy >>>
