Wow Sammi, I'm sitting here in tears and awe at your story. I cannot for the life of me fathom what you felt as a Mother going through what you did with your daughter. I'm so thankful to God that you were blessed with her and able to get her the help she needed. I know it had to hurt so much to see her go through that, but it takes such heart and dedication to move forward and keep going. I feel Dena has this very same love and dedication for her Baby Emma and it just rips my heart out and breaks it into a million pieces when people throw stones in the way and try and hinder any hope at help Emma could possibly receive. I for the life of me just cannot understand it. I can see why Emmas story is so close, near and dear to your heart. (((((Sammi))))) Baby Emma (although a pup) deserves the same right to life as anyone else. I have researched the cost of just the surgery itself and let me tell ya, it isn't cheap, and that wasn't including the cost of IV's, meds, or supplies or anything else, it was JUST the SURGERY alone. If we can't get the word out about Baby Emma without having to constantly look over our shoulders, how is she going to get the funds for the surgeries she needs to have such a beautiful face and life as your daughter? It feels like for every step forward, we're getting knocked back 10. Our joys over Emma's progress are constantly being hindered by hurt and hatred and it just shatters my heart. But, I, like you and so many others totally and completely REFUSE to give up. I will continue to do whatever I can to help Baby Emma. Reaching so deep within your heart and sharing your story with us here gives me even more hope for Baby Emma. She has a very dedicated Mom, just as you are to your daughter and as long as God allows Baby Emma to be here, I to will reach into my heart and do what I can to help her. (((((Sammi)))))
