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! Risa [Posted in FML 5446]
