Thank you all so much for your prayers and thoughts,
and excuse me if I'm not as in touch today.
It's 7am, and still no sign, I've had about 2 hours of sleep, and can't eat.
somehow I've got to hold it together today at work, typically we've got a heavy schedule today.
thank you all
Oh Kim...hoping the busyness at work gives a few needed moments of distraction to your mind.
[MENTION=2894]2BullyMama[/MENTION] had a great tip to post on FB, amazing to reach everywhere & so many! This group
feels your pain, we know your fears for her and understand no words of comfort or hope will ease
your thoughts. it is meant only to let you know that we support you and to lean on us if you can.
My senior girl, Cami (11 soon) but in great health & vigor became suddenly very ill 6 mo's
ago. Tests revealed Cushing's Disease, progressive & not much can be done & no cure. To see her
so ill was devastating, I resolved to let her go when she let me know she was ready. I turned to this
great group of people and, as always, they grieved & mourned with me. Knowing they understood
my suffering did help, I've been a member & friend here for 6 years, I love these good people!
I cried my heart out and stayed at her side, sleeping on the floor with her. She was too weak to
get on my bed & I, too frail in my own illnesses, to lift her. But her appetite stayed good & potty
regular, she finished all her meds, came off pain pills and mainly, slept all the time. Months went
by and she was still here, every day a great gift & celebrated. I felt I could let her go now, that I
could accept it after the months of daily crying & begging God to heal her or, to take me too.
And God did give us what we begged for, Cami is a true miracle. Not only is there no sign of the
Cushing's but she has renewed energy, happy like a puppy & playful. A new dog on our street rudely
and meanly challenged her a few days ago. Without hesitation, Cami told him that she would mop
the parking lot with him and started for him...I called her off...he did not follow or make another sound
but went home. Seeing her at full attention, massive chest expanded, proud, ready for battle if need, I
was so proud of her, and full of admiration & respect! Came (like all bulldogs) is a warrior, it is thrilling
to behold them in all their glory & magnificence, I love this breed so much & thankful God restored her
for more days with me when to lose her would have made me give up on life.
So, I say to you, Kin, even in your despair, DO NOT give up on God's great compassion for your suffering
or doubt He listens (and is moved by our prayers). Hold on to hope, small tho it be, miracles are still
given out today.
Last night, my last prayer was for you & your 'lil girl and the 1st prayer when I awoke and shall remain so.
We are with you and so is God. Hold on to HOPE...hugs from Texas.
