update

So its been longer than I thought. today is march 16th. this is just to update everyone on the happenings around the whalen compound. We have all been very busy, the girls all got extremely sick. Denali was running about 101.5 - 102.5 for almost a week straight, sandia had a Little temp but seemed not to notice it. Elsie started to get sick and we noticed some wheezing so we brought her in and its a good thing because she had the beginnings of pneumonia. Yesterday was her last day of antibiotics and we are happy to have our crazy healthy babes back. We have also acquired another cat. He really is like Garfield's real twin. A big orange speed bump on our floor that is a bit of a priss. The girls and I love him already, Sean does too but he'll never say it. As many or all of you know I have been in the hosp. quite a bit trying to figure out whats up with the tummy. They did and endoscope and found h. pylori, a bacteria that causes ulcers and some cancers. they also believe I have already had one or more ulcers that have healed up. How I didn't notice those is a mystery. They also took something like 8 biopsies which I go in to hear the results of tonight. I would be lying my ass off if I said I am not the least bit nervous because I am, about now I am wondering how much of a sadist life is. I also have to remind myself that no matter the outcome this evening I have to remain as positive as possible, what is life if your unwilling to fight right. The only thing I know for sure is that they will have to treat the bacteria, and at least they found it and we can treat it and go on from there. So everyone keep your fingers crossed for me, hopefully tomorrow I'll be laughing at how silly I was about it all right! Big hugs and love.
Typical, a few hrs later I hear form the hospital that my results aren't back yet. So now we wait til Wed. the 16th.
