One last message before I sign off. When I adopted Specks 8 years ago I promised her biological Mom that I would always let her know about Specks and her health. Well we did keep in touch for a year or two, then Specks' Mom moved and I lost touch. Through this whole ordeal, that was the one thing that I felt really bad about. I wanted to give Patti an update on her girl but didn't know how to reach her.

Low and behold, she emailed my hotmail account 3 days ago. Did Speckles have a hand in this?? I expect so and I will be calling her today. After all, Patti loved her first.
