Hi everyone .. Sorry we are behind on updating .. but i have had the flu and am just bouncing back .. thank god it was the 24 hour type !After going through this ,it really makes you realize what HEROS all cancer survivors are ! How in gods name do they get through it ?? Its through prayers, and support from folks just like yourselves ! Marielle and Hudson received so many special Valentine Days cards and gifts .. we can't thank you all enough ! The day we delivered the gifts and cards, Marielle was having a very grumpy day and not feeling well at all .. we covered her gently with the most beautiful hand made quilt and left a precious stuffed bunny that was sent from some very dear dogster furiends ... and left the stuffed doggies for her and Hudson to decide which one was whos ....the stuffed dragon Hudson loved .. the cards we left for them to open together when Marielle was feeling better . I just know that they all cheered her up .. how could it not !!! Honestly we are over whelmed with the out pouring of love and support from our dogster pals and you all know who you are !! WE are forever grateful ! Poor Marielles mommy had the flu also .. (had i known i would have waited to deliver the presents and cards ...(so i didn't stay long probably where i got the flu from ..)

Marielle had her second spinal tap with chemo treatment today ,she needed to get a blood transfusion but no stay over this time .. yippeeeee.. so they are home resting !!

Did you hear on the news that the manufacture of the drug .. methotrexate... ( Marielle and many other childrens cancer fighting drug) that there is a shortage.. like 2 weeks left across the nation. They have actually closed one manufacturing plant and reports say since it is a generic drug and the drug company isn't making any money .. they want to stop production !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Can you believe that they would put many lives at risk all for the sake of MONEY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this just un nerves me !!! It always boils down to the living dollar ! Well.. they will have to up the production ... no way can they just stop making it .. this is one of the drugs of choice for fighting child hood leukemia's !

Again we thank each and everyone of you .. and again Thank CoCo Rose for getting the card exchange together !! You pals are the best !

Hugs & Kisses,
Pat & Buttercup

I was wondering why I hadn't heard from you again. (:
Seriously, what is this world coming to. Can we just stop being so money driven for once? It pisses me off. My church friend once said to me money is the spawn of Satan. Can't disagree there. :-X
Can you and Marielle's mommy go to the media and protest?

I look forward to hearing from you over pmail.

kisses and hugs

Good to hear from you, glad you are feeling better and Marielle's Mom too. We agree with Yoshi, go to the Media. This should not be happening - it's just so wrong. We are praying for you each night. Really, you need to let the world know what this company is doing.

May God be with You
