Update on Sam

They took everything 6 inches below her knee off. The surgery went very well. The doc's took part of the tibia, the shin bone, and turned it horizontal so it attaches to both bones to give her better support. She got to come home last Tuesday. She is living at Clint's mom's house, so they set Sam up in her front room. She is going back up to the hospital today to for them to re-check her leg and put on a smaller cast. Right now she has a cast that goes all the way up to her hip. She hates it, because it is so heavy. Sam is an amazing little girl. She has such a great out look. She just keeps saying, "It's just a foot. At least I'm still here." Her only worry is about dating. She is worried that no one will want to date her without her foot. We have told her that anyone who meets her will love her, with or without a foot. She is really excited, because a orthodontist heard about her and is going to give her braces for her teeth for free.
