Hello everyone... I'm sorry I haven't written for such a long time but I have been having several bad days lately. Mommy tried to change my diet a little bit and my tummy didn't like it at all. Now she has changed it back to the first "ferret soup" and I am happier again. I am still having problems holding my fluids so Mommy with the help of Aunt Neen learned how to Sub-Q me. The water seems to still go right through me but at least I don't dehydrate so much. I went to the doctor yesterday to have a blood test. WOW did that hurt! The people there were very nice to Mommy and talked to her while the doctor took my blood. Mommy then sent the results to Dr. Williams who told her that I may have insulinoma but he wants to do another blood test to be sure. Mommy called the Vet but they said I didn't have enough blood right now to do the test. They had a very hard time getting the blood from me yesterday. Mommy said she is going to wait until I am stronger to get another test. I am feeling better today though. I am able to use my back legs somewhat better than I had in the last several days. (I have had about 100 baths lately because I can't hold myself up to go potty.)I shocked Mommy because I crawled out of my house today when she was getting ready to go to work! I don't go very far though because I am too weak to get there. I can't wait for the day that I can get up and play with my brother, Tolly and sister, Shanti again... it looks like such fun! But for right now they come to me and give me encouraging sniffs and licks. Mommy still holds me alot. I even get to sleep with her sometimes in the big bed. I love those nights! So many people are looking out for me and it feels good to be so loved. Mommy said a lady gave me a web-site and we are going to send her pictures of my first bath since I got home from "it who shall not be named". Mommy cries when she looks at them and so did Aunt Neen. Hopefully they will be posted really soon so this doesn't happen to any other fuzzy cousins. Mommy and I will post another update soon. She said I should tell you that it is okay to cross post our mail to other lists if you want to! Thank you all for your prayers and support. Love, Licks, and Dooks, Spirit [Posted in FML issue 3855]
