[Gpdd] ANNOUNCE: Talked with Ann and updating Eve situation

[Lynn Williams]

Dear GPPD family,

Hooray!  I am soooooo happy right now, if I weren't afraid of breaking 
numerous bones and running into walls and furniture, I would be popcorning 
all over my house right now!  I just spent close to an hour on the phone 
with our amazing Ann Evans.  She had a very callming effect on me just by 
listening to her talk and discuss things with me.  We went over Eve's 
medical history and she gave me tons of advice on what should have been 
done, wasn't done and what should be done to help my baby, Eve.  She is 
sending me a Care package of things that will  help along with arming me 
with info to take to the  vet to get Eve on the right gtrack.  She even sent 
a couple of pics of a stone piggy so hubby could look at them while she 
described different aspects of then to him.  What totally amazes me is that 
she spent all thus time with me and answerred all my questions while she is 
trying to get ready for a trip to France tomorrow.  What a selfless, caring 
lady she is.

After we had hung up, Earl told me something that I didn't catch while I had 
Ann on the phone,  Apparently, she had him get Eve and look at her genital 
area to see if it was swollen or irritated.  It was indeed irritated so that 
told her something about the situation.  What he did not tell me at the time 
or I did not hear him, was that there was a little brown spot right there in 
her opening when he spread her apart to look at it.  Whenb he did that, it 
fell off and she was red under it.  So, that may have been some gravel or a 
small stone, perhaps.

I'll bbet my hubby never knew he would be called on to be a piggy 
gynecologist!  :)  He was very helpful though and is on his way now to the 
store to get Eve some diaper rash cream, along with some reverse osmosis 
watr.  I feel such a sense of relief and at least I have a resource now that 
is helping me with what I trust as good piggy knowledge.  Ann seems to think 
that treating Eve for a 3 week run on different things, including the right 
dosage and amount of SMZ, the hydrangea oil, the Rowatinex oil, the sachets, 
children's liquid IB Profin and the right kind of watre.  Many of these 
things, along with a heat/massage pad, Ann is sending me just because she is 
a kind and giving person.  I am hoping we can give back a bit to her now. 
Her pad was apparently chewed by a bunny in it's previous use and both cords 
and the pad have damage.  It just so happens ny hubby is a retired 
electrical engineer and can in all likelihood, fix it.  So, after we get it, 
he is going to try to repair it for her and send it back.  It is nothing 
compared to what she has given me which is not only some different items but 
a sense of relief and a stronger sense of hope for my precious Eve.  I will 
close for now.  I have to mix up the sachet stuff and give Eve that along 
with her IB Profin and her beneback until I can get the SMZ filled tomorrow. 
Thanks once again to all of you for your warmth, love and caring messages 
and support.

With love, hugs and whisker kisses,
Lynn, Callie and Eve with Sammy and Tabby at the bridge and in our hearts 
and memories
