Anne wants you all to know that she is very grateful for the outpouring of support this wonderful board has shown her. Her time is pretty crunched right now, as her life is a bit in chaos, having to worry about the impending war, the work at the shelter and what to do about all the cats. Recently, the Americans called the shelter to make arrangements to leave their cats boarding there as they are "bugging out" and trans-atlantic travel is pretty hard on cats.
Add to the stress of the Iraqi-USA situation, is the fact of Issac's illness and well, you can imagine how it is for her at this given moment. But she is still forging ahead with her classes in Cat Behavior and trying to keep a very active little boy from creatively typing out his messages on her computer! LOL
The good news is Issac. He is doing much better! They are very close to getting him the drugs he needs, and the consensus is that the strain of Wilson's that he has, is actually from a strain found in the Jews whose roots would originally be found in Eastern Europe. It is called the ashkenazi strain- or "Wilson's Light," It appears to not have caused the massive amount of damage to Issac's liver as the disease in full strength usually does. Anne is in the process of using FedEx to get Issac's liver sample to New York quickly- as she calls it a "Liver Deliver!"
I am constantly amazed at the strength and humor this woman possesses. And how she keeps it together, is really beyond me, especially when some seem to fall apart at the most trivial of matters, and she just keeps in there fighting, making me laugh daily in our IM messages and I just want to say that I admire this woman immensely. I miss her presence on these boards and am just grateful that she has ALL of you that she can fall back on, who offer up prayers and positive thoughts and good vibes and send them off.
Especially after hearing Colin Powell's report to the UN yesterday, I have even more respect for Anne and her husband and what they really must be going through right now.
She asked me to update you- so now I have. Thank you all for your board magic, once again- you all came through!
