Patti,
Please read my most recent thread about our visit to Cornell today.
I urge you to consider
going there and they do take the Care Credit card which can at least break up the cost of the tests etc so that they're more manageable.

While we did not get the news that we hoped for, Dr. Morgan appears to really know her stuff! She found a few other possible issues on the ultrasound, but nothing that takes precedence over getting Daisy's Cushing's in check.

My sincere thanks to each and every one of you for the hope, knowledge, strength, and tears that we've shared! I felt quite prepared for our visit today and understood everything that Dr. Morgan discussed. Without all of you, this visit and the results would've been much, MUCH more frightening!

Hey Patti, wishing the miracle you so hope for with Tipper, and keeping you in my prayers...Simba is sending a get well hug too!! Have a blessed Easter!!

Patti, Wishing you and Tipper a Happy Easter.
I sure agree with you about those miracles.
Hugs

Praying for Tipper tonight and many days/nights to come. I know how hard it is watching our babies suffer through this dreadful disease. I lost my Angel close to two months ago to what they thought was a macro. Watching him go day by day and not knowing what was going to happen next was just dreadful.
I pray for strength for you and your family as you get the diagnosis and for many happy days ahead for Tipper.

Belinda Rose, I know exactly how you felt. It is so heartbreaking. None of us should have to deal with something like that.

Patti,
Just wanted to stop in and let you know that I am thinking of you and Tipper. While I have not posted a lot to you, I am following along and I try to stay caught up with all that is going on with your baby. I know what you mean about her being your whole world, I feel the same way about my Jasper, and to some degree now, his sister Shelby. I don't have children, so I suppose that is part of it for me. I am so sorry you have so much to worry about with Tipper, and I am praying for a miracle for her also. You and Tipper are always in our prayers. I hope you are having a peaceful Easter.

Love and hugs,
Tina and Jasper

Hi Everyone:
Tipper and I had a quiet Easter. Hope everyone enjoyed their Easter. I am just going over and over Tipper's problems when we are awake at night. I am so scared to have them put her under to check her nose and throat. I don't know something keeps telling me not to do it. The last 2 days her mucus problem seems to be better. I found a natural recipe to make and give her to clear mucus. Maybe I am just foolishly thinking it is better I don't know. I am scared of these diagnostic test procedures as sometimes they can bring on problems of their own. We are kind of in a holding pattern for lack of a better description. She does not go until the 11th so I have time to make decisions on what to do. I am so tired of putting her thru all this. I do know that she needs to be able to breathe better, so I am torn on what to do. I keep praying for an answer to all this. If only I could take her back to when she was a puppy. In retrospect I would never have left them give her prednisone for the allergy problems. That is water under the bridge now, so little can be done, but to deal with these new issues. The decision of what to do everytime you are faced with new issues, is gut wrenching to say the least. You always second guess if you are doing the right thing. I have a major rash all over my face from my Lupus acting up due to nerves. I am trying to keep a grip on this, and stay calm. Too bad you cannot turn your mind off from thinking about all this for a while. We will get thru this challenge some how. Thank you all for reading Tipper's thread and caring about my wonderful girl. It so helps me to get thru my days. I am so fortunate to have found this great family on here, that lets you ramble on about your fears, and always extends support no matter what. I appreciate each and everyone of you. God Bless Us All and all our babies. May we all get a miracle, and get rid of this incidious disease.
Patti

Hey Patti, sure thinking about you and Tipper, this dreaded disease affects us and our pups so much, everyday is different it seems. I ask myself everyday if I'm doing the right thing by Simba. Somedays are good some not so good, I sometimes feel like I'm losing the battle with cushings and that it's taken my sweet Sim away from me. He sleeps a lot and when he is awake he's restless like he can't get comfortable. So I sure understand your thoughts, I think we all do, sending hugs as prayers,and remember to take care of you too.....

Hi Patti,
Just wanted to let you know I'm still thinking of Tipper and you. I'm glad you think she is doing a little better. I can totally related to the difficulty of every decision and worrying about if you make the right choice. It can be absolutely agonizing. You just have to remind yourself that every decision you make is in her best interest and then go with it and not look back. I know that's easier to say than it is to do, as I constantly worry about decisions I make. I think way too much about everything, including my sweet Hannah. You are right, this site is wonderful, and the best thing is knowing that we are all here for each other.

Sending you and Tipper lots of positive thoughts!

Julie & Hannah
