I read a few details (she had a different type of leukemia than Sam, for example), and you're working with the best doctors, who may already know about it and it probably can't work... but just in case, can I post it? <br /><br />http://www.upworthy.com/doctors-take-a-long-shot-and-inject-modified-hiv-into-dying-girl-the-reason-why-will-amaze-you<br /><br />The headline's really sensationalized. And it totally might not be applicable to Sam. But I wanted to put it out there because something in the back of my head told me to connect the dots. Wishing Sam and your whole family comfort and good moments among the hard stuff... and refua shleima to every possible extent.Francesca Kuehlershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04227699060256057442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1462665789660058576.post-83831852506603494332013-12-05T21:54:31.633-06:002013-12-05T21:54:31.633-06:00I have to second that thought.

You can't possibly know who and in what ways. I remember an 8 year old named Akiba. She was my favorite patient ever. She had AML in a time before transplants. I think of her often, 30 years after her death. She taught me so much about taking care of children. She taught me how to be a better doctor. She taught me how strong and all-knowing children are. Few people make such a difference in the world, even when they live until 100. Sam is blessed to live such an important life. I pray for all of you.April Dworetzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03633648828773232971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1462665789660058576.post-48442284161174689992013-12-05T10:32:49.128-06:002013-12-05T10:32:49.128-06:00sending prayers and love from Israel. as I have wr...sending prayers and love from Israel. as I have written before, I really don't know what to write, but my heart is aching for sam. much love always. rochelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13500239033148201774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1462665789660058576.post-61448958776763014982013-12-05T08:58:40.256-06:002013-12-05T08:58:40.256-06:00i've been a fan of sam (and the rest of the cl...i've been a fan of sam (and the rest of the clan) for a little while. a sheepskin helps a great deal on a wheelchair, and might even be more comfortable for him on other surfaces as well. hoping for strength and love for you all...arryanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10758412164903954579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1462665789660058576.post-69566604151112061442013-12-05T08:25:13.193-06:002013-12-05T08:25:13.193-06:00On the last day of chanukah im davening for miracl...On the last day of chanukah im davening for miracles for your family.

What was your favorite part? did you see any people walking around eating those gigantic turkey legs and wonder why on earth they like them? <br />My family was at Disney during Hannukah a couple of years ago. At our hotel, they had a menorah in the lobby and asked our family to make sure the candles were lit on the right days. It was funny because we were walking around the Magic Kingdom and it was a Friday. it was super decorated for Christmas, but every time we saw some dad wearing a kippah, we wished him and his family a "Shabbat Shalom!" And the family would give a huge smile and wish us a Shabbat Shalom also. ----- From your mystery friends in Ohio, the Lipkin family<br /><br />KatieLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08822320870229121693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1462665789660058576.post-6021051532396587962013-12-05T07:06:07.639-06:002013-12-05T07:06:07.639-06:00I wish you could all experience the hope and stren...I wish you could all experience the hope and strength of that August visit again. <br /><br />I am thinking of y'all all the time.
