 Sad Update to Lucy's Condition
First, I want to say thank you for posting your thoughts on Lucy. We appreciate them very much.
Second, after returning from OSU the first time, Lucy showed remarkable progress in 2 short weeks. We took her back up for a follow-up 2 1/2 weeks after being seen. She amazed the Dr's and staff. But upon our return home she started to slip back each day. We changed medications based on the Dr's recommendation but she continued to decline. I'll spare you the details but will say that due to the rapid and steady decline in her condition we had her euthanized tonite. It was tremendously hard for us to come to this decision but we had to base it on her quality of life and not our personal feelings (which have and still are running the spectrum). It was hard to say goodbye to such a small thing even though she was with us only 3 months.
There is no rhyme or reason why she contracted this fatal disease and had to put up with so much suffering in her short 2 year life. We will miss her a great deal.
