Samantha is doing well, getting stronger every day. She is very happy to have Christopher here in Texas with her. He keeps her busy and it is great for her to have someone to play with. Today we took them to the Aquarium and she actually walked through the whole place. Although it was not that big it was a lot more than she has done in a long time and handled it well. We all enjoyed being out for the first time in a while and they had some pretty neat exhibits there.
We have still been going to the clinic daily and it looks like she will be discharged early next week. When we are able to come home she will continue her treatments there. This of course will depend on the arrival of her little brother, as we can not travel until he is born. We were at the doctor yesterday and he plans to induce labor on Monday if it does not happen before then.
We have been inquiring about a private jet to get us home as we do not want to expose a new born baby to a public airport or put Samantha through that commotion. Driving may be difficult as we will have to make to many stops but need to get home in a timely manner because of Samanthas lab schedule. We are asking if anyone has a connection to facilitate this for us to please let us know, it would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thank you all for your continued prayers & support.
With love & hope,
Audra, Kurt, Christopher, & Samantha
