Fred is Flying High Over the Rainbow Bridge

I'm very sad to say that Fred has passed on.

The wonderful Doctors at LSU did all that they could, but God needed him more than we did.

Dr. Tully did not want to do to much at one time and so he was just drawing blood yesterday afternoon to run a scan for anything and everything to try to figure out what it was. A little while after they drew blood Fred's body began to shut down. They assured me that it wasn't b/c of the blood loss, they hadn't taken that much. They intibated him, gave him medicine to try to get his heart working again....but he was gone. Dr Tully assured me that he just passed on, and that from the best of his knowledge he wasn't in any pain. The staff there was wonderful, and so supportive. It was so hard to come back home today without him.

I brought his body back with me and Josh and I buried him as the sun set. I bought a beautiful angel to look over his grave. He can finally rest now and his pain is gone. I know that he is in the best of care now, and will never be sick again.







Rest in peace our sweet Fred, you will be missed.

It's not goodbye, its just see ya later.



I wanted to add a link to the original thread about our sweet boy for those who have no idea what I'm talking about in regards to tests and whatnot. I just simply cannot go through it all again:

Beyond The Rainbow

As much as I loved the life we had and all the times we played,
I was so very tired and knew my time on earth would fade.
I saw a wondrous image then of a place that's trouble-free
Where all of us can meet again to spend eternity.

I saw the most beautiful Rainbow, and on the other side
Were meadows rich and beautiful -- lush and green and wide!
And running through the meadows as far as the eye could see
Were animals of every sort as healthy as could be!
My own tired, failing body was fresh and healed and new
And I wanted to go run with them, but I had something left to do.

I needed to reach out to you, to tell you I'm alright
That this place is truly wonderful, then a bright Glow pierced the night.
'Twas the Glow of many Candles shining bright and strong and bold
And I knew then that it held your love in its brilliant shades of gold.

For although we may not be together in the way we used to be,
We are still connected by a cord no eye can see.
So whenever you need to find me, we're never far apart
If you look beyond the Rainbow and listen with your heart.

I am so sorry for your loss of Fred, he was beautiful..The pictures that you provided is a lovely tribute to his wonderful life.. RIP sweetie..

Aw, soar high and free over that bridge Fred! I'm so sorry for your loss!

Thank you all so much for all of your kind words. We've spent the night remembering and crying, there is so much of him that is still here. His toys and his cage...we buried his favorite bell with him, and a peanut b/c they were his favorite treats ever. We are so heartbroken. He was too young to be taken away.
