My sweet Baby Bean I can't believe you're gone. I'm numb from the whole experience and exhausted from crying. I just don't think it's sunken in yet. I'm going to miss watching you popcorn and wall surf. I'm going to miss your mischievous efforts to get past my chin-proofing. I'm going to miss the way you REALLY got into your scritches. Most of all it's going to be hard not having you to come home to every day. You've been through so much and you were always a brave fighter. I promised you when all this started that I would make your pain go away. I tried everything I could to help you and finally we came down to one last option. When we were saying goodbye you looked at me with those trusting eyes and kept giving me whisker kisses. I knew I had to be strong for you and make you feel better. Sleep in peace my darling and know how much I loved you. In life you hated your sister Lady, but please watch over her now. She's still not out of the woods and now that you're gone I need her more then ever. I love you baby and I miss you.
Lily saw a team of 3 exotic vets at the U of I today. They found a borderline level 1-2 heart murmur. On top of that the spurs that she had filed a month ago had already returned. Additionally she had a pocket of food that was impacting along her right side and the skin underneath was raw and going bad. They did some tests and determined that she wasn't able to masticate properly on that side possibly from nerve or muscle issues. We discussed her options and we all came to the agreement that any treatment would only be prolonging the inevitable, and I just couldn't do that to her. She deserved better.
I'm going to be making a post about Lady in the Health section. We're all a little baffled by what's going on and I would appreciate any insight. Thank you to all of our friends here on C&H who have supported us and offered advice along the way. You helped me make sure that I was doing everything possible for my baby girl, and I am so grateful to ALL of you! I'd like to send a special thanks to Sandi who over-nighted me food, medicine, and syringes. Your kindness has meant so much.
