She’s amazing

Samantha’s appointment with Dr. Burdo-Hartman went well.  She actually saw Dr. Dodge.   She continues to amaze them.  They found no major concerns with her.  Dr. Dodge commented to Dusty that she sees so many kids with Cerebral Palsy and can’t help but wonder how the kids would be if they were placed on the cooling mat.  She said if Max and Samantha were born just a few months earlier they wouldn’t have had the cooling mat and there is no telling what Samantha would be like today.  They asked if Samantha could participate in a study regarding the cooling mat technology they used on her.  She will go back in August for a two hour appointment to be a part of it.  I don’t know what it entails.  If it will be published.  What they’re looking for.  What they will test her for.  We’re so thankful God created the cooling mat technology.  Not only for Samantha, but for all the other babies who will benefit from it. 

I’m feel the same as yesterday.  Nothing has changed.  I hope the drains can be removed.  I’m also nervous that we haven’t heard anything about the pathology reports.  I hope the old adage is true - no news is good news.

    Dear Dusty and Lindy,

    We already know that Samnatha, and Max, are miracles but it’s nice to hear it from the Dr. I bet Dusty is the proudest dad in the world.

    We’re praying, and trusting God, that your path report will be negative.

    Thanks for keeping us informed.

    We will be praying for the reports. I know that the waiting is awful. I’ll pray that the time will pass quickly, that God will fill your thoughts, that healing will continue and you will be filled with peace.
