Hi:
 
I don't subscribe to the FML these days, but I'd like to ask you all to put
in a little prayer for my little girl, Wompy.  About 2 weeks ago, I found
her darn near dead in shock from insulinoma.
 
Here's my story:
 
I had left her out to play for a while & when I went to check on her, she
was really lethargic.  I picked her up & she was limp.  Needless to say, I
got a tad bit upset.  When I put her down, she tried to move, but her back
legs wouldn't move.  I started to cry like crazy & immediately called the
doctor.
 
Well, my doc was on another line & the one who picked up scared the hell
outa me by telling me she was dying.  He told me (obviously) to get her to
an emergency hospital &, in the meantime, give her some honey or caro syrup.
Of course, I couldn't find the honey, so I was near spastic by the time my
doc called back.
 
I finally found some honey & put some into her mouth.  She was just lying on
my bed drooling & barely breathing.  But I put her in her traveler & took
her to see Dr. Weiss in Potomac, MD.  An hour later, when we arrived @ Dr.
Weiss's office (thank you so much for sticking around & waiting for me!),
she was up & running again.  I was so happy I was almost hysterical.
 
Well, anyway, this Friday, Wompers is going into surgery to remove tumors
from her pancreas.  If you could all say a little prayer for her, I'd really
appreciate it.  Wompers has always been a little miscreant, so she wasn't
always too sociable w/ me - which was fine; I came to accept that - but I've
come to find that I'd do anything for her to make sure she's ok.  So, wish
her luck this Friday morning.
 
Thanks!
