I too know of the type of situation you are dealing with. It brings back memories of Tizzie's last year. One thing that you can be thankful for is not having to deal with lots of snow and below zero temperatures and having to take her outside and her not knowing what she is supposed to do out there. The one benefit we had with Tizzie was that she slept a lot. It was the only time she was at peace.

It is so stressful to see them in this condition and not being able to comfort them or provide the necessary relief to what is bothering them. I know you don't want to give up on Murphy just yet, but maybe it is time to sort out for yourself what defines the stage at which Murphy is suffering more than she is living. The process to that stage is so gradual that sometimes it is difficult to say okay, it is here. Did I make the right decision? I still don't know. I guess I want so badly for you to have a better handle on it than I did or know in your heart what is right better than I did and maybe that isn't possible. Maybe we all have to just fight this battle the best we can and so be it.
