Yes, you are most definitely doing the right thing, and she will be home and back to normal before you know it.

You keep mentioning that you feel bad because you can't explain to Rachel and Cubby what's going on. Even though I know they don't understand, I always explain to them anyway. When Tubby was sick I told him I knew he didn't feel well and could he please just tell me where it hurt so I could make it better and I told him we'd do whatever we could for him. Then when I took Cracker Jack to the vet he seemed to be scared in the car so I started explaining how it was just a short trip, the white coat would look at thim and then we'd be back home in no time. I think just hearing the soft soothing tone of your voice helps keep them calm and reassures them that everything is going to be ok. So explain away. If all else fails, it'll make you feel better.
