Samantha has had a lot of ups and downs since we returned home from Gainsville. She is facing a lot of frustrations right now, not being able to open her left eye for one. She is also having some trouble speaking clearly at times which makes it very difficult for us to know what she needs. She has been in bed for over a week and spends most of her days sleeping. We have had some issues with her heart rate being to high/to low but she seems to have stabled out for the moment. Things change so fast you almost hate to write them down.
On a better note she did eat yesterday for the first time in a week. What a fighter she is. We will be starting her, today, on some (about 10) new homeopathics that are supposed to help her immune system as well as detox her body. We pray this will help her regain enough strength to continue fighting this monster. Of course we are still filled with hope that she will get her miracle and can't wait to be able to spread that good news.
Please continue to pray for her strength and healing.
With love & hope,
Audra, Kurt, Christopher, Samantha, & Jason
