Samantha has shown significant improvement over the past week. She is now able to sit up on her own, feed herself, and talk again. She is back to eating a regular diet as her swallowing is back to normal. We are working on her strength in her legs in hopes she will be able to walk again. She continues to brighten our days with her beautiful smile.

We are currently giving her some supplements and hollistics to cleanse her system and strengthen her body the best we can. We have not decided on the next course of treatment and are still waiting to hear back from one additional doctor then we will move forward from there.

As Samantha continues to amaze us we pray we will make the right decisions to help her. Please continue to pray for her and for us in our decision making. We appreciate all of your support as always.
With love & hope,
Audra, Kurt, Christopher, Samantha, & Jason
