I think of you so much, Susie, and check here for updates often. It just breaks my heart knowing what you and Tink are going through. I will continue praying and I hope a miracle is in store for your sweetie!

What a wonderful vet to offer to take over Tink's care while you have surgery and recuperate. Bless his heart...and his wife too.

Sending lots of hugs and love to you and Tink!

Thoughts and Prayers continue from Pepper and mom. Keep fighiting baby, we know you can do it!!!

Thoughts and prayers for Tink and you .

Susie and Tink,

Just checking in this morning to let you know we are thinking of you. I hope today brings more answered prayers.

Have just returned from the wedding and this is the first place I came to... I am so pleased that there is some improvement in Tink's health. I have been thinking of that little bundle of joy and prettiness all weekend.

My prayers will continue for sweet Tink and her mommy.

Susie, I can't get you and Tink off my mind. I can't believe how much I have prayed, wished and hoped for an answer to these prayers. Any news today? How's your baby girl doing? Wish I could just reach through this screen and give you a big hug, you so deserve a happy ending here. I know Tink's strong, she's a fighter...but it hurts us when they aren't doing well...it's just so difficult sometimes for us to be as strong. I will continue to pray for her to beat this, I do have faith and I do believe in miracles...let Tink prove my faith in miracles, once again.
Winston wants his girlfriend...his friend, to be her happy, healthy self again...the little girl that loves her mommie...plays with her kong...and can't get enough of her frog. Please Tink...get well real soon, sweety...we all love you!!!

God is listening to all of our prayers for Tink....and He is faithful.
Hang on little Tink and Mommy.
We all love you!

Guess who I got to hold today?!
 

I just got home from the vet school. I went straight after church was out - well, I did a Taco Bell drive through.;)

When I got to Tink's little isolette, she was laying propped up on a blanket in her little nightgown sucking on her frog and twitching her ears. I was very quiet so I could just watch her for a minute. Her IVs are out and her hair was all brushed. She looked so much better than yesterday!

Barb wasn't there but the young man who is interning with her came over and talked to me. He said Tink is taking the food well from the syringe and had a potty in the morning when they woke her up. She is trying to turn and get up but not able to do it yet. While I watched her, she reminded me of a newborn puppy checking out the air with its nose and pumping it's little arms and legs. It's alot more than I expected to see. Don took me to a room with a comfy recliner and brought Tink. I sat in the recliner and held her on my chest like I do every night. It felt so good. She just kept sniffing and licking my neck - I use that term loosely. It was more like slobbery snuggles. I'm convinced she knew me. Don wasn't sure, but I want to think she did. I think she can see pretty well too. Don again wasn't sure, but she sucked on my finger when I held it in front of her and when the light caught my rings, she blinked her eyes. I remembered when my little foster son used to do that and he was supposedly blind. I kept telling the doctors and finally one did some more test and lo and behold! So I have good reason to think Tink can see.

She's very limp and can't hold her head up but I hear they were working on that yesterday and today. I've not seen how the PT people work with her yet. Don said since she isn't on IVs anymore, they are also taking her out of her "house" and carrying her around in a sling a little bit unless she crys.

Don't you think this sounds good? I do! Maybe I'm wishing too much into the circumstances. But I want to be as positive as I can. I suppose it's a good thing Don is very realistic to keep me from getting to eager.

I'm not going back tonight. I'm really tired and I think I'll go lay down for awhile. I need to prepare for the work week yet tonight also. Thank you all for your emails and IMs, and PMs, and post with prayers and good thots. Thank you for the candles too. It all means so much to me.

So glad to hear that Tink is hanging in there. It is a good sign that she seems to know you and the IVs are out. One day at a time. We will keep sending those good healing thoughts your way.

I am so glad that you got to hold her. I know it meant a lot to you and probably to Tink, too. I think from what it sounds like it is going to be a slow road back. You will have to cherish each small step along the way. I am thinking Tink is very lucky to have techs and doctors and a mom that cares so much. Keep your thoughts positive. The girls and I are continuing to pray for Tink and you. I believe in miracles. God can make miracles come true. We are praying that he will make one happen for you. Prayers going out to you from north Georgia. Please keep us posted on her progress.

Susie, I'm with you, Tink is showing improvement...that is wonderful news in itself. Each little baby step takes her closer to you. I love slobbery kisses/licks...that's the best kind. I will still hold on to my belief, my faith...that Tink will prove to us that miracles really do happen...and that they can happen to you! Bless you, bless Tink...bless us all. Now Susie, go get some much needed rest...please rest assured that Tink is trying her very best to get well. She wants nothing more then to have her mommy smile again.

That is very encouraging. Praying she continues to show signs of improvement.

I truly believe Tink knows you and can see you! She felt her Mommy's love, too.

God bless you. You and Tink have been thru so much...........
