Sam's Foot

I have had a very hard time lately as many of you know Clint's niece Sam was run over by a semi on Monday and it took off her foot. The doctors reattached it and did all that they could do but it looks like she is going to loose everything from the ankle down. I just got off the phone with Cory(Clint's sister) and she is just devastated. She knows Sam is going to loose the foot but Sam doesn't yet. I mean how do you tell someone that. She is waiting until morning to tell her, so that Sam will have one more good night of thinking nothing is going to change. I feel so helpless, there isn't much I can do except send prayers and happy thoughts that way. Sam was horrified when they cut all of her clothes off. She just kept crying, "They're cutting off my good clothes." So Clint and I have decided to try and replace outfit she lost. I am saddened by the people who voiced their opinions on KSL's web page. One person even had the gall to say that Sam was trying to prove something. Others said that it was Sam's fault and that she should of been paying attention. The truck came up from behind her. I didn't know you had to walk down the street looking over your shoulder the whole time. But all I got to say is that if it is not safe to walk on side walks where can we walk? I want to thank everyone who has sent their love and support, it is much appreciated.
