We had an eventful week here in Vero. After the long busy weekend Samantha started tuesday out with seizures at 6:30 am. They would stop on there own but were coming every hour. She had her labs done and needed another platelet transfussion along with red blood this time. Her seizures continued throughout the day and ended about 12:30 am after the 12th one and 10 hours in the hospital. She was seizure free on Wednesday and had two on Thursday. She also started PT & OT on thursday and really liked the therapists. Today she had labs again and we just returned from her third transfussion of platelets. Things went much faster this time and the nursing staff at the hospital are really trying to get a system down for her so it will be a quick as can be process. With them & the help of her pediatrician things seemed to go a lot smoother this time which was much appreciated. She will have labs again on Monday. Tomorrow we will increase her seizure meds to the dose they were originally aiming to get to, hoping and praying that will do it for her. Without these seizures she would definately have more energy and a little more freedom. As always she remains smiling. Thank you all for your continuing love & support. Please continue to pray for her.
With Love,
Audra, Kurt, Christopher, & Samantha

I don't know you, or Samantha or your family. I just happened to "click" on your link in the blogger window. Guess you were publishing. Anyway, the photos and story of your daughter brought me to tears. I am sending you all of my prayers tonight. From what I read, she is terribly sick; but from what I saw, she is still able to find that beautiful happy-child smile. And it sounds like she has a warm and loving family.
My best to you -
