Deja, a beautiful and demure little albino of the ripe old age of 4 yrs and 7 mos., who has missed her lifetime buddies, Kiwi and Central, since their passing last Christmas, now seems in a hurry to join them. The X-rays today revealed an irregular mass the size of a golf ball pressing her stomache and intestines downward. How it was missed on the sonogram is a mystery, it happens. Surgery is scheduled shortly and I am trying to brace myself if it becomes necessary to let her stay asleep. So for now, we are spoiling her more than ever. If anyone has a spare moment to pray for her, or just think of her...but there is only a very small chance. A special thanks to Dr Williams is in order for his continued personal assistance and to Dr Kupferberg for giving it all she's got. Thank you one and all alphachi ps Sorry for being so prolific lately, sometimes it all happens at once. [Posted in FML issue 1984]
