Tahoe's Mommy...
Thank for you getting on and putting the suspision of a scam to rest. I can appreciate your worry, stress and concern for your baby.
Just recently almost lost my Sophie, not from injury but from illness. She is recovered and I hope that Tahoo too will recover from his injury. I hate to hear that he needs such a servere surgery, I can't imagine that it is an easy surgery on him or his little body.
I apologize for the doubt, (which was only because you seemed to disappear) it does sound as though you are a very busy lady with a family and very sick baby to care for.
Best of luck to you and Tahoe.
