Today Ruffle is a bit more tired. Yesterday she walked a tiny bit for a few minutes; today I doubt she will. Still, she is very happy and is free of pain. To look at her on waking one would never guess that she is sick. We just enjoyed a favorite game; we called Steve on the phone and she got to listen to him through the receiver. It was a bit tiring for her, but she loved it. Basically she is just sleeping more and more, and enjoying cuddles and some Sustical in between. When possible there's a bit more embellishment. As long as she doesn't get fluid in her lungs she should pass easily, just close her eyes and drift off. That is our best hope for her now. Whether it will be today, tomorrow, or several days from now we have no idea. This is her schedule and we will keep it. It's comforting that she is so happy. When she passes on her poor little heart will take big chunks or our's along with it, but even though we don't want her to die love along can't keep her here and her heart and liver are just worn out. Thanks for the many notes every day. I expect that things will not really change much till she passes along. We will let you know when that is; until then you will know that she is still here and happy. Sukie [Posted in FML issue 1608]
