rg... Lorraine, you are not putting us through anything that we are not willing to go through with you, THAT is what friends are for! We may not be there in person to hold your hand but we are all holding it cyberly. At anytime, any one of us could just quit looking at this thread but we won't because we are going to be there for you as you would be for us if it were our time of trouble.

With all the prayers Katie has going for her and all us pulling for her, she HAS to feel the love and have it comfort and help her. Whatever God decides for her, we will have to accept. If she comes out of this less than perfect, she will still be your baby and you will still love her and she will continue to have a outpouring of love here. There are a lot of us that have "less than perfect" kitties and I can promise you, you only love them MORE! It goes deeper than you can believe and teaches you so much about life. The news, as heartbreaking as it is, IS encouraging so hang on to that for now and we also are hanging onto it.
