My candles are burning for the sick, poor, and needy. Also, for those brave men and women who were involved at Pearl Harbor - 63 years ago. And lastly for myself.

Peace to all.

Just got a text from R and she said the surgery for biopsy went well.No definite answers yet, but her surgeon says it looks like Hodgkins. If caught in time, the doc said it's curable. I personally haven't done enough research on it to understand what caught in time really means.

Keep the prayers coming please
Our unbroken circle here is mighty

Lighting candles for all here who need them. As well as my own family and all involved with our situations.
I ask for Guardians to surround those who need assistance.
And to direct matters that are unseen.
That they will be handled in the best manor needed.
And to help all involved to feel comfort in times of need. And to feel and see this work in progress.

:candle::candle::candle::candle:
The common cold seems so uncommon when my head becomes a soggy wet roll of tissue and my throat is cactus lined as my lungs express their desire to expand. Home alone with a nasty nasty cold: having tea with honey, cinnamon toast, Ibuprufen, and using that gross Nettimed thing and squirting that water up my nose so I can breathe.

I have slept for 3 days.Too sick to care, to sick to go to work.

My head exploded into several galaxies during the night, so I guess, I feel better. Is 4 days too long to wait to get better, or time to go to a doctor.? What would a doctor do that cinnamon toast can't take care of.

Today my candles are still burning from days gone by.

I thank each of you who light candles for me on my behalf. I greatly appreciate it. And I have a sense that God does hear our prayers and does see the candles burning ever so bright.

Rosie has shared with me something from FB that read "God understands our prayers even when we can't find the words to say them." That about sums up where I am at.

Today I come here and selfishly ask for prayers for myself
I've been having a rough couple of days
I'm feeling defeated when it comes to finding work
It's really playing on my mental health
Where I used to be strong and confident
I feel myself letting tears flow a lot lately
I still have my faith and belief in God
I worry for my cats if I don't find something soon
I have a deadline of Jan 1st
Even if I get work, I don't think I'll afford a place by then
Really looking for miracles here or a fairy godmother

It's the flu with strep throat. She gave me a flu shot****.

Said this stuff can recur and pneumonia is the next step. Bought pop-open canned soup and French Silk Ice cream on my way home, after picking up the Rx.

I want to thank everyone for their prayers, thoughts and well wishes for little Ivan. :):frog:

I took Ivan to the veterinarian's office and he has a case of intestinal parasites. I guess frogs, even ones bred and raised in captivity, can tend to get a wide assortment of nematodes, protozoans, and trimatodes in their intestines. Anyway, it is treatable and I have a worming medication and an antibiotic for Ivan that should do the trick to get rid of the problem. The only hitch is that I have to get a small tuberculin syringe into his mouth to dispense about 1/10th of a cc of medicine. I have to do this for 5 days running and I have the other medication to put in his mouth every 2 weeks for 6 weeks. This should get rid of the worms. I never thought I'd be worming a frog. :|

Ivan should soon be on the mend and back to singing for crickets....and Myra. :winky::awww::frog:

A doctor can do nothing for a common cold as it is a virus. The only thing that can be done is to treat the symptoms that befall the sufferer, like the stuffy nose, coughing, and head pressure :seeingstars:; all treatable by over the counter cold medicine, not antibiotics. I hope this helps. (f)

For those out there that sent me good wishes and chicken soup thoughts.

Thanks Starbuck. She actually did do something for me. Gave me a prescription for meds. The chest cough improved over night. The OTC's I was taking for 3 days weren't touching it. Now , just a matter of letting it run it's course and not turn into pneumonia.

Also got a flu shot, and a note not to return to work till next week. :moonstars:

Finally, know that there are others that care. Reach out and do not let go.

For her sister Rozella who flies down from northern California to spend a week or two at a time.

For those that get those Holiday Blues. Hold On. 2011 is just around the corner.

Not on site much. I come by to respond to messages mostly. And to check here and see how everyone is doing.

I continue to light a candle each day for hope and solace and health for all who come here. This is a special place. A locus of peace and meditative harmony. May you all be blessed by the love which shines so brightly here ...

As for me, it is a true winter ... short days ... darkness prevails ... waiting.
I can reach Dolo by phone less and less. Her husband doesn't turn on the computer so we can call. Just on Sundays. Dolo doesn't remember to do it. I count the days to when I leave as I listen to the high pitched wheezes that accompanies each of her inhalations. She told me that they went to Germany to visit Christmas villages. I am glad for this bit of joy for her. I want to bring something, but don't know what ... nor why I would even think to do so. I think that times like this, one becomes not rational in their thoughts. I can't bring her time. I can't offer life ...

I continue to light a candle each day for hope and solace and health for all who come here. This is a special place. A locus of peace and meditative harmony. May you all be blessed by the love which shines so brightly here ...

As for me, it is a true winter ... short days ... darkness prevails ... waiting.
I can reach Dolo by phone less and less. Her husband doesn't turn on the computer so we can call. Just on Sundays. Dolo doesn't remember to do it. I count the days to when I leave as I listen to the high pitched wheezes that accompanies each of her inhalations. She told me that they went to Germany to visit Christmas villages. I am glad for this bit of joy for her. I want to bring something, but don't know what ... nor why I would even think to do so. I think that times like this, one becomes not rational in their thoughts. I can't bring her time. I can't offer life ...

Bring her memories of your little surprises: the crinkling cellophane and the taste of a peppermint candy cane. Things for her to hold and touch. A silk scarf, a simple strip of satin ribbon with a tiny bell, a tiny really soft baby toy like a fuzzy teddy bear (add a a splash of what you wear). Things for her to hear: Bring a tape recording of you singing to her. A small battery operated cassette player so others can sing and talk and leave her messages.

My hope and prayers for a fast journey and good days and nights ahead for you and Dolo. Godspeed waxnrope.

My heart goes out to you, and too Dolo, her family and loved ones. Just knowing your love is there, sending her energy, she can feel it and the presence of you. Know that, prayer is an amazing gift it sustains when we feel as if there is nothing left. This day I reach out to you and Dolo sending light, prayer and solace.
Never give up, just when you think it's forever dark; a flicker of light renews you.

The balance for darkness
is unconditional love
love is the eternal flame
the magnetic force that
holds the universe together
transcending time and space
true love does not die
it fuses with your soul
and it burns

Have you ever felt the need to let go? That no one cares. Would anyone care? That some say they do - yet when there is need no one is there. When you feel you have done all you can - and yet the 'answer' never comes? you have dug so deep that you can dig no longer. That you are tired. There is no rest. Then you look up and you see a light.. and a voice. and it calls to you to come towards it. That the answer is there. Remember, the answer is here.

For thanks to an airline agent who, in the midst of holiday traffic, found me a non-stop flight for December 23, and who had the good send to suggest an open return flight when I was unable to figure that out for myself. And, lastly, for my wretched mood swings, which has entered the point of giddiness from that of despair.

Also to say sorry for my absentce but I have been in and out of the hospital with my grandaughter.

Special request for her today and an update from last post on her:

If you all remember she was raped awhile back. She is 15.

She has been in and out of the hospital all week and her right kidney isnt draining so this week we find out what they will do about that.

Also they are testing because they think she has a tubal pragnacy possible from her rape.

Please keep her in your thoughts and thank you for all those who have already!

Love n Koolaid to Everyone who has been lighting Candles for mah Niece.

:candle:

Yesterday I got to talk to her for a brief moment,
convinced it would be the last time we spoke.
:watereyes:

The Candles kept her going another night.

Perhaps the most important night of all.

They placed her into a Life Support Coma.

As of this morning, she has improved
enough to gain High Priority on the Transplant list!
:koolaid:

This will hopefully be her 3rd Heart Transplant.
:heartbeat::heartbeat::heartbeat:


One of the tough factors of this...is knowing
someone must pass on in order to keep her here with us.

Keep her here with us please.
It's truly all I want for Christmas.

A call from my Sister this morning.


Stanford has turned down her application for my Niece to have her 3rd
Heart Transplant, add to that she also needs a kidney now...because she
is not showing signs of improvement and is too weak to
handle such a procedure.
(w)

So Cedar Sinai in LA is requesting she be Life Flighted in
today to see what miracles they can create for her.

:rrose:

She is a little Warrior ~ please light a candle for her
so that the Miracle can find its way to her.
She is running out of time.

Little Ivan (my little male White's Tree Frog) isn't doing well today. I had gotten up to go to work and checked on the frogs and found Ivan trying to climb up on the upper ledge to go to bed. He was staggering around and fell a couple of times, nearly falling the entire way from the top of the frog house to the floor, before catching himself.

He's so weak, he can hardly move now. I took him out and held him for a little bit, then put him back on the warm ledge in the frog house. He's huddled there now, in a small little ball and I don't think there is much I can do for him, except wait and watch while he passes away.

I called off sick from work. I think I'm going to try and find a veterinarian who knows something about frogs and try to get Ivan in for an emergency appointment, if I can. This may be a long stretch, but I want to feel like I've done everything I can to help him.....or have him put out of his misery. My heart just can't stand to see him suffer like this.

It's been a long haul for little Ivan, so I'm lighting a small candle for him. In the past year that I've had him, he's brought so much love, joy and laughter to my life. I hope G-d has a special little place reserved for him in Heaven.

I know she's chatting it up with her passed relatives and my dearly departed now no longer in pain and able to see now as her vision was robbed in the hospital a year ago by MRSA she caught there. Rest in peace Aunt Judy, I love you.

May this candle bring some sort of peace to my Uncle Eddie who was an extraordinary man in supporting her and taking care of her during this time.

I took Ivan to another vet yesterday. His usual vet was out of town until today. Ivan has gone from .51g when he first visited his doctor 3 weeks ago, to .48g yesterday. Unfortunately, the doctor who saw him yesterday is not an expert in reptiles/amphibians, so she didn't really know how to help him. She did give him an antibiotic for possible pneumonia/infection and it's strawberry flavored!! :|

Ivan took another dose of worm medicine last night, along with a tiny drop of the new antibiotic. This morning, however, he would have none of the strawberry antibiotic. He does look a little better today, but he's still doing that open mouthed breathing thing, which is not good. He just *hates* opening his mouth for medicine and was adamant about not taking any more of it. He even wee'd on me to try to get away. I just couldn't bring myself to insist any further, so I guess we'll just have to wait and see if he gets better.

He's back up on the big ledge this morning, and I think he's ready to find his sleeping spot and settle in now. I'm just going to leave him alone and let him sleep. The vet suggested that I set the little frog house up for him as a hospital house. I may do that, but I keep thinking how attached he is to Myra. I'd hate to take him from her, especially since she appears to be completely okay, and I think she'd miss and grieve for him, too.

Maybe I'd better just leave well enough alone and let him rest.

Hard to know what to do.......:thinking:

Thank you's to everyone here who has been reaching out, saying prayers and sending Ivan the healing light. I do think it is making a difference and I certainly appreciate the support!!! (f)

This candle is lit for Hope. No matters the storms we face, the people that come and go, the words that are shared, the memories that remain, the sadness you feel, the heart that breaks, the soul that dwells in darkness, that you grasp to understand and hang on. Never lose hope. ... in the storm .. in them.. nor in yourself. We are here. Feeling exactly the same.

I don't know if Ivan is feeling better.

Last night, he managed to kick right in with a nice little 10 second song where he got his entire body bouncing right along with a raucus "RAWK RAWK RAWK". He was sitting so nicely in the big water drop of the waterfall, where he loves to sit and look out. My heart leaped when he did that and I saw my little Ivan as his old self again, if just very briefly. Miss Myra was in the water bowl, looking up at him. I guess she has her own way of giving him encouragement.

This morning when I got up, I saw where Ivan had managed to climb up and scoot under the big ledge, right under Myra, to sleep. I'm taking this as a good sign, because for the past few days, Ivan hasn't felt strong enough to climb on the back wall. Now I see him there, but only his little hiney and the backs of his little feet. He's turned himself brown to match the back wall (he's hiding!!).

I'm said all the prayers I can possibly say for him....I have cried a river of tears and begged G-d to somehow bring this little guy through this and not take him so soon. I don't know if He is listening, or the prayers/begging/tears are working, but I keep hearing this song in my mind, and I've got a feeling that He just might be:

I have been absent from this thread for a few days, having only minutes to spend doing what I can not justify giving less time to then it deserves.

I light my candle today, not asking for things, but thanking for what is given. I am thankful and awed by what has been given me. Thankful for the smile that spreads across my face, for the opportunity to see things in a way that I was unable to just a small time ago. I am thankful that I have found such a loving and generous soul who wants to be a part of my life in so many ways. I am thankful for the new understanding that perfect is NOT an obtainable goal, and neither is it one that would make me happy. I am thankful for new friendships and shared laughter, for quiet conversations and boisterous games. I am thankful for the shared idea that it is not what you did with life you take with you, but how much you enjoyed it, and how much you helped others to do the same.

I am just so grateful, so thankful today. I hope I remain this way for some time.

Here is an Update from my big sister about mah Niece:

Today's update has them working on bringing her oxygenation to room air,
which they have been working on since yesterday. It is going well, and looks
to likely mean a trip to OR to get her off the EMCO.

Just moments ago:

They are rolling her down to OR to remove her from the EMCO machine.



You know, she is truly a Xmas Miracle at this point.
There has been one other person to have 3 :heartbeat: Transplants
in one lifetime, and we are not sure of their status...but the
rarity of it all just seems Divine to me.

Thank you so much everyone especially Diva. My dad is the strongest man I have ever known , so if there is anyway to pull through he will. He truly is unstoppable. He has alzhiemers and he is 78. He was diagonosed 3 years ago and my older sister moved him in with her. Until feb. He wandered off at 2am in PA. with 4 ft of snow on the ground and 12 degrees outside. The police found him about a mile from my sisters crawling in his hands and knees in his underwear. No coat nothing, just his cane . The police and doctors think he'd been crawling for about 2-3 hours. He had a little frostbite on his knees , and some bruises but other than that he was fine and making jokes with the nurses. But we had to put him in a nursing home to keep him safe. He loves it there. He calls it head quarters, hahahah Sad thing is he thinks he works there. Alzhiemers , it's a cruel fate that he doesn't deserve. He was the best dad with a strong work ethic, and the most kindest , easy going man you could meet. And now I think his health is failing, but I will embrace this and I know I'm blessed if he makes it and blessed if he doesn't . Either way I trust the outcome will be in everyones best interest. I know alot of people have crappy families but I am very very lucky. My family is awesome and we are very close. It makes things easier when you pull together and are there for each other.
Thanks for all my friends here on the planet and anyone who had a kind word of support for my family. This is a wonderful place and I'm glad I get to be a part of it.

I took Ivan to the frog doctor today and spent most of the afternoon there.

We're thinking now that Ivan has some sort of an intestinal blockage going on. The doctor gave him some contrast dye to swallow and he will be getting another x-ray in the morning. The doctor felt it best to board little Ivan overnight, in order to get the x-ray first thing in the morning, so I left him there at the hospital. I wish now that I hadn't, and had decided to drive him back over, first thing in the morning. I hate to think of him there, alone, sick and away from Myra and me, and not understanding why.

I feel sick inside for Ivan and I'm worried beyond all belief. Poor Myra is sitting in the waterfall, waiting for Ivan, as I type this, and I'm sure she doesn't understand where he's gone. She just keeps sitting there, and turns to look at me when I approach. She seems to know there's something wrong, and I wonder if I will be able to bring Ivan home tomorrow. I know what bowel obstructions are to humans, and I can only think that it must be near to impossible to treat the condition in an animal as small as a frog. I know, too, how painful it is for humans, and I don't want my poor little frog to suffer.

Tomorrow may well be the last day......

Good news....or as good as it can be now. :)

I'm going to be picking up little Ivan from the froggie hospital this afternoon, around 4. I talked to his doctor twice this morning and she tells me that he does have a blockage in his digestive tract, but she doesn't think it's in his stomach. She thinks it is in his colon now, which means that there is a strong possibility that he may pass/poop it, eventually. She doesn't think that he's in a lot of pain, but he is probably having some definite discomfort. She will be giving me some anti inflammatory medication for that, along with some topical antibiotics for Ivan. Even better news is that Ivan is not really doing any mouth breathing now, so maybe any potential respiratory complications are not anything to worry about anymore.

The doctor instructed me to set up the little frog house for Ivan to stay in, until he passes/poops the problem out. I'm going to be busy this afternoon doing just that and getting it nice and comfy for him to come home to. I'm going to be setting it up right beside the big frog house so that Ivan and Myra will be able to see each other. I plan to put Ivan in the big frog house with Myra when he first returns, so they can see each other and Myra will know that Ivan is back home and all right. Ivan will also be able to see Myra and visit with her a bit. I think that might lift his spirits, too, and if he wants to nap on her back, well, that'd be just fine, too. Bottom line is, Ivan will, undoubtedly, feel better when he gets home to his Myra and his loving, devoted Dad.

I will feel much better having him home, too, and at this point, we'll just hope and pray that Ivan can pass/poop his problem out and that he'll be just fine soon. :awww::frog::heartbeat:

I have been absolutely worried out of my mind about Ivan, all during these holidays. I have prayed and prayed that G-d, the Great Healer, will step in and make my little fellow all better. You all have been such a bastian of support and love, too. I so appreciate everyone here and all of the support, prayers and healing light given to both Ivan and myself. This is why you all are my chosen family and are so very dear to me. Thank you all again, for being there.....for everything. :) :bouquet:

Ivan, Myra and I are so very thankful. :):frog::frog::cheer:

Ivan is doing very poorly again.

I'm going to be packing him up this morning for another ride to the froggie doctor. She's on duty at the animal hospital today, thank G-d, in His infinite mercy. When I brought Ivan home on Friday evening, I thought he might perk up and I was hoping that his stress level would go down, with being home and all, but he's gasping again and grimacing with pain.

The plan, as I had left it with his doctor, was to give him some rest, some topical antibiotics and a calcium soak each day, which I've done. If he hasn't pooped, and looks worse, to bring him back to the vet and get another xray to see if the obstruction had moved at all. He's still got the barium contrast in his tummy, as he hasn't pooped, so we should be able to tell if the blockage has moved at all. If not, then I am going to ask the doctor to put Ivan down.

Every time I look at little Ivan now, my heart breaks. If that blockage hasn't moved, then I really think I owe this little guy, this little green "child" of mine, a final act of kindness and love. It's going to break my heart, but I am determined that he NOT suffer anymore. Ivan is such a unique little fellow, full of personality and a zest for life. He's been fighting this like a little trooper. I so admire his tenacity and his strength. He is very, very special, and I think he knows how much his dad and his lady, Myra, love and adore him. It's been the good fight.

Thank you all for all of the love, support, kindness, prayers and healing light/energy you've given to Ivan, Myra and myself. We all do so appreciate it. :bunchflowers:

I have just returned from the animal hospital, where I took little Ivan today. We had xrays taken and it revealed a large pool of barium dye, concentrated in what we *think* is his large bowel. It's so hard to discern exactly what is going on where with him, due to the fact that he's so small and, well, he is a frog!! But there is an obstruction.

Now, there is one option left, and I have decided to opt for it, even though it is a chancey thing......surgery. His doctor is an "exotic pet specialist and surgeon", and she does have experience with amphibians. She seems to think that, given Ivan's young age and the fact that he is still quite active, despite having this problem, he may well be able to pull through a surgery to relieve this problem. I sat and thought about this option, long and hard. I even prayed to my G-d to guide my decision and give me the strength to see it through, come what may. I decided that it was worth a chance to save Ivan's life. He deserves the right to fight for his life. This, from one of my favorite movies, "Seven Years In Tibet", kept coming into my mind:

"All beings tremble before danger and death. Life is dear to all. When a man considers this, he does not kill, or cause to kill." -- Dalai Llama, quoting Buddhist scripture.

So, we are going ahead with the surgery, which will probably take place tomorrow afternoon. The doctor is going to do it via laser, so blood loss will be minimal. I left Ivan at the hospital and they're going to keep him medicated with pain meds before and after his surgery. In the event that the doctor begins the surgery and correcting it is impossible or hopeless, then I will have him promptly euthanized.

Ivan needs all of our prayers, healing energy and lights. I am now asking everyone here to, please, offer up a little prayer for Ivan, that he has the strength and will to keep fighting a little harder, for a little longer. I know that I'm going to be in a lengthy prayer session tonight, myself.

Once again, thank you to everyone, from Ivan, Myra and me. (f)

This is for my little Ivan, with all my love, prayers and hopes. He has always made me ~smile~. :winky:

I think the prayers and healing energy you all are sending are coming through in fine form for Ivan and are making a huge, HUGE difference for him!!!! :cheer:

Ivan's doctor called me a few minutes ago from the vet hospital and told me that IVAN HAS POO'ED!!!! :D :frog::cheer::awww::danceparty:

Okay, I hope that I'm not offending anyone with this description, but keep in mind that Ivan has been so very, very sick and this poo'ing may well be the difference between him having to have surgery or not and, on an even more serious note, whether he lives or dies. Anyway, the doctor told me that he passed a bit of the barium contrast that was given to him the other day, in addition to a little round poop!!! After he did that, the doctor took it as a *very* encouraging sign and gave him what she called a "little slurry" of mineral oil and some vitamins. We're hoping that he might just pass this stuff that's been blocking him up and he just might not need surgery!!!! :winky::thumbsup:

Ivan has always made me smile with his antics, his songs, his little face and his fun-loving little personality.....and he is *still* making me smile, even bigger, with this good news!!!

A special, heartfelt THANK YOU to Dr. Mary Lee, DVM, of the Lone Mountain Animal Hospital, in fabulous Las Vegas, Nevada. :winky::heartbeat::frog:

Keep the prayers coming, fambly, because it's working!!!! :winky::clap::cheer::praying::candle::frog:

I'm heading over to the animal hospital soon to pick up little Ivan and bring him home!!! :awww:

Poor little guy...he's had quite the ordeal, but I think he's better and his doctor tells me that he's really picking up and is back to climbing (and sticking) to the top of the wall of the enclosure they've been keeping him in. That means he is much stronger now!!

He did not end up needing surgery, thank G-d!! I know what bowel obstruction and surgery does to humans. I see it all the time and it is extremely painful, dangerous and involves a long and tedious recovery, usually. I didn't want to have to think about how I'd even begin to take care of little Ivan after such an ordeal. He did poop and start to move his bowels after being tube fed and having a load of barium tube fed into him. Here's a pic of his problem. The white spot is the pooled contrast (barium) behind his blockage. That is now almost totally gone!!! :clap:

http://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww96/theoddz60/Frogs/Ivanxray2.jpg

So, I'm heading over to pick him up and bring him home to Myra, the Big Frog House and me. :winky::cheer:

Thank you all, again, for all of your prayers, healing energies and thoughts!!! Keep 'em coming, please, because Ivan's got a long road back to complete recovery, but he can do it!!!! :clap::frog::heartbeat:

Deanna, I want to personally thank you and quite a few others here, including, but not limited to Waxnrope, JustLovelyJenn, the ever kind and lovely Lady Pamela, NYCfemmebbw, Spirit Dancer, Tommi, my friend Wolfy and Jesse, Durrrrr, just to name a few....for all of the support, love, thoughts, prayers and healing energies sent to my little Ivan, Myra and myself during this horrid time that Ivan's been sick. :bunchflowers::heartbeat:

I've never felt alone, during this entire time, thanks to you all standing stalwartly behind me, every step of the way. I thought I was going to lose Ivan, more than once, and that tends to make someone feel very alone and sad. I've felt you all, in my heart, and I've felt the strength coming through in giant waves from you all, especially during those times when I'd be standing helplessly by, watching my precious Ivan as he gasped and grimaced from pain. I don't know as I would have ever had the strength or courage...or faith....to push on and to take a chance that Ivan would pull through, but I did, and Ivan did....with YOUR help. It's funny that I can do the job I do and manage to detach myself from the emotional part of it, even when humans are concerned, yet when faced with watching the suffering of my little frog and possibly losing him, I have just turned to a puddle of tears.

Ivan's just a little frog, and I've seen some people here in r/t roll their eyes and tell me "That's a $20 frog...go get another one.", but he's MY IVAN and he's got a huge personality and a strong will to fight. He wants to live and he's determined to stick it out until he's well. I feel that from him, like he's saying "Don't count me out and by G-d, don't give up on me!!". Well, we haven't and won't give up on him. I know I couldn't do this without you all behind me, sending that strength and energy. I thank you all for that, one and all. Deanna, I especially thank you for all the encouragement and support. You are such a kind and wonderful woman. I think you must be one of G-d's angels, sent down to us, that we hear about in faith circles, etc.

I'm not religious, in any way, but I consider myself to be very spiritual. I have a strong distaste for organized religion, though I was raised Southern Baptist. My faith is strong, though, because after nearly 22 years in health care, I know there is a power higher than ourselves. I believe in G-d.

Oh, and Ivan is resting comfortably here at home today. He's in The Big Frog House with Myra now, chilling out on the floor, behind the waterfall, sleeping. I'm leaving him alone, keeping things quiet and peaceful, and allowing him to get used to being home again. Tonight he'll be back up sitting in the waterfall, beside Myra, and everything will be right in "frogland" again. Ivan still has a blockage going on, but it looks like things are moving through a little at a time, very slowly. That's okay. I have a couple of antibiotics to give to him and I'll be having him soak in a nice warm calcium bath in the evenings. I'm going to make sure that little guy has the very best of care and the very best chance possible to survive this the rest of the way. More than anything, he's going to know that he is loved and supported by not only his dad, but by many, many friendly supporters who are cheering him on!! :winky::frog::heartbeat:

Thank you all so much. (f)
