I really can't bring myself to write much right now, but my Shannon Bo Bannon did not recover from her Monday surgery and passed away in my arms last night at 11:05pm. She had the largest right adrenal tumor the doctor had ever seen; it was growing into her liver to the point where part of that had to be removed, it could not just be "peeled away," and her vena cava was compromised. Her little body just couldn't handle it all, I guess. She celebrated her third birthday and first anniversary with us in August. Sandee, please have Renate, Sparkle and Thor meet her (she didn't know Thor), and introduce her to Justice, Sasha, Mickie and Minie-Girl and their buddies if you can. Thanks for all your support and prayers. Sadly, April and the Auburn Five, who preferred being a Six-Pack... [Posted in FML issue 4295]
