Thanks to all of you who have expressed warm thoughts and cares for
Baby, we appreciate it more than we can say, truly heartwarming.

My heart dances with joy that Baby is back home with me, comfortabe and
doing better, with me watching over her.

She had a tough couple of days, two overnights in the vet clinic. The
first night she was completely unresponsive to me, just a small dazed,
sleepy ferret limp in my arms. The second night she was aware, a tired
but interested little fuzz one resting in my arms. She underwent an
ultrasound with aspirates, in hopes of finding what had caused her
sudden deterioration, with silent pleas that it be treatable. There is
a very strong chance that it is lymphoma. But we are treating this time
as the gift it is. I am blessed to have her home with me, tending to
her and letting her feel my love.

I am at varying times optimistic and discouraged, as we progress on
hand feedings and syringed meds. I celebrate at her finished soup
bowls and interactive attentiveness, I cringe at her occasional teeth
grinding and wobblings as she rises. Whether or not we get through this
completely, I am here for her just as she, my love, is here for me. I
feel blessed.

Thank you all so much for caring, I thank you deeply for keeping Baby
in your thoughts.

Special, special thank you's to Alicia of Ferretwise and Rose of
L.F.F.R. who have both been my lifeline during this and other times of
ferret crisis with Mikette and Jillie. Thank you both for being there
for me so often when I truly needed it. It means more to me than I
could possibly express, I thank you!
