Leah-
  I'm so sorry to hear BB has to go thru another surgery. It brings 
back the horrible time I had with Albert after his surgery & I hope BB 
pulls thru much better then he did. We always keep you, hubbie, BB & 
BS in our prayers, but now esp. more so. Give BB extra hugs & kisses 
from all of us...


~Jaime, Molly, Radar, Grumpy Carl, & Albert always in our hearts~

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...
