Hi all. I am writing to say THANK YOU to Dr. Williams who suggested that Kitka should have exploratory surgery. She had it and a large piece of foam/plastic was found. It is bigger than two complete pencil erasers put together. We were amazed at its size. Now, $820.00 and a six inch incision later, she is home and sleeping happily. She is our million-dollar-girl now. That's what credit cards are for, right? We would have paid much more for her safe return. Thank you also to the other people who emailed me about her privately. It really helps to know that others are rooting for your special friend. Paula [Posted in FML issue 1229]
