OMG... Susie, I'm just seeing this and I'm so sorry! Prayers are going out to you this instant!!!

Susie Sweet Susie Know that you and Tink are in my thoughts and prayers. I am so so very sorry You both are going though all this. I know that Tink is a Fighter and she has you. That is the Best of the best. I wish I was there to give you a Hug and make it all better.

Thank you for the update on your precious Tink. I too think one of your prayers was answered when the vet offered to take care of her while your dealing with your own health issues. Continued prayers for Tink. :hands::aimeeyork:hands: She is a strong furbaby with a tremendous will to live. Hugs to you & Tink. :big_hug:

Take Care of yourself also, Susie. You both are in my thoughts & prayers.

Just wanted you to know that prayers are being said all over the country for you and Tink!

A young woman sat alone in a waiting room. She could hear her infant screaming as it was packed in ice. The baby had a fever off the charts and had had a series of seizures as a result. If the fever didn't break soon, the baby would surely die.

Things were not going well and the doctor treating the infant came out to talk to the young mother. His steps were slow and his heart was heavy. He hated cases like this. And he hated talking to the families worst of all.

Addressing the mother, he spoke as slowly as he had walked down the hall. He explained that the situation was dire. He carefully explained that the outcomes were bad (brain damage) or worse (death). It was less likely that the child would come out unscathed.

Well, miracles do happen. That scene was almost exactly 42 years ago and that baby was ME!

Susie, I hope that God will be as generous with little Tink as he was with me.

We're all rooting for you and your baby girl.

:hug:

continuing to pray for complete healing

What a Very Touching story Nicole... ((((HUGS)))) I am in Aww

We are keeping Susie and Tink in our thoughts and prayers!!! :hands::hands::hands:

Thank you Nicole for sharing that wonderful story of God's love for you and your family. My heart is thrilled when I hear such miracle stories.

I would be so excited if Tink and I were blessed with another miracle. I know it can happen. Sometimes though, you get in that place where you think you are undeserving. I guess I need to remind myself that if I got what I deserved I would be in a huge mess instead of enjoying the blessings I have. This is a big bump in the road and we will get over it and be on our way again. That you for helping me get going again.:)

we will be praying for little tink :hands::hands::hands::hands:

Yep, His love is unconditional!!! Whether we think we deserve it or not, he is more than willing to pour out what we need. (just so you know, I happen to think you are VERY deserving!!! :))

Those must be the most amazing Vets and techs ever!! What angels to come to your aid like that! Now you can focus on your own health and know your little one is being well taken care of. Thoughts and prayers go out to you and Tink.

I being so wrapped up in Bleus little life have let this situation slip by me I have read all 15 pages of posts and just been on pins and needles the whole time.

Im praying for you your health and your separation temporarily from Tink!

May God turn this situation totally around and may things in all aspects be good for his glory!

Hugs I extend my hand to you for your strength!

Love
Vicki

Suzie you & Tink continue to be in my thoughts and prayers :hands:

Good-night Susie...Good-night Tink. I hope and pray you will be together again real soon.

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!!!

Still lifting up prayers for Tink, God Bless you baby.

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...........
