Samantha Update

This morning we got a call about 4 am that Samantha was very sick and being transferred back to St. Davids.  She was perfectly fine at 11 pm and turned around within about 30 minutes.  Her stomach is again distended, she is ashen, and having trouble breathing.  The dr. at St. Davids said he is very concerned she has severe NEK or NAK which is apparently when bowel/intestinal tissue necrotizes.  He said he is VERY concerned and that she is very sick girl.  He said he thinks the surgeons will explore and see that its less severe than her symptoms indicate.  In some severe NEK cases the major intestines necrotize globally all at once.  There would be no recovery from this.  If there is any religious, spiritual, or even superstitious belief you have, please please do it for Samantha.  We will update when we can.  Thank you for all your prayers and support, they has been invaluable.
