Hi everyone, My little boy River is going in for insulinoma surgery tommorrow (well, it would be today as you are reading this - Tuesday). I know this is the best thing for him, but I am really nervous. I just want Tuesday to be over, and for River to be back home with me so I can take care of his sore belly and he can start feeling better. Please if you can, say a little prayer for my boy. Every ferret and pet is special, but some you just seem to feel that extra special bond with. Thats my River. He is such a good boy, I tell him he's just got a good soul. He's about 5 years old, and I would love at least another 5 more years with him. He's always been there to cheer me up on bad days, to make me laugh on sad days, and he's taught me to "carpe diem" cuz thats how he plays. He loves to stash his cheweasels from hiding spot to hiding spot - never eats them, he's got about a dozen stashed around - but as he's carrying them around, he looks like he's sporting a big police badge - so thats when I say 'Sherriff River is in town!'. I know he's going to be ok. He's a strong boy. He deserves to feel all better and full of ferrety energy again. I want him to be healthy and happy again. I just know he's going to be ok, but could you just please say a little prayer for my boy? Power in numbers as they say. I would appreciate it more than you could imagine. Thank you, Andrea and River [Posted in FML 5859]
