Hello Slaves,
I just got off the phone with Dr. Griffin's
office. I have made the final decision
that I have been dreading for weeks
now. After the last eleven (tiny tiny) stones
that B-Bear passed last Friday, there
haven't been any more. But, she is
still making unpleasant noises when
she urinates. And she has screamed
a couple of times. She is passing a
good amount of bladder sludge, but
that huge stone is still in there.

BB is still eating and drinking normally.
But, this morning, her weight was down
to 2 lbs/ 0 ounces. And that is the lowest
it has ever been. So, I knew that it was
decision time. :-(

She is 5 years/2 months+ and I am
really Nervous about stone surgery.
This will be her 2nd stone surgery.
I am a wreck, ya'll. And I know that she
is a decent candidate for surgery, but
we all know that there are major risks
with any type of surgery on our little
ones. I keep thinking to myself that
if anything bad happens to BB (like
she makes that journey over the
Bridge) that I would Never forgive
myself. But, then I know that she cannot
withstand the pain from that huge stone
forever. So, maybe I'm killing her by
not having the surgery done. Oh geez.

There is no way to calm my Fears,
I know this. All I can do is Pray...Pray
that my little Sassy Bear will have the
will to fight, if that is what it comes
down to. I am going to spend these
next 5 days treating her especially
Special and I'm going to Love all over
her like crazy. I can't stop crying :-(
because I can't even imagine life
without my Brownie Bear.

Please Pray for my Bear.

          Love 'n Wheeeeeeeeeps...
