Hiya threadkillers!
Robin - sounds like you are busy, busy, BUSY! I'm sorry you're having problems with the border crossings. If the price was the same - I'd stay in a hotel and avoid the headache!
Kim - I hope all goes well with your mom. I dunno what to tell you about the switch in hospitals. At this point, I would think ANY set of fresh eyes would be a good thing. I hope her tests go smoothly - unfortunately it seems to be standard procedure to release early these days.
Well, it's going to be sad news. Tom and I have decided to put poor Holly out of her misery. She was at the vet twice this week with problems and they were able to determine that her blood sugar IS under control, but she's still having accidents. As many as 5 but usually around 2-3 a day. She is also having difficulty using her back legs. Not all the time, but every once in a while, they slip out from under her.
Anyway, the two vets are going to consult and we should get a call from them tomorrow. I'm guessing they are going to tell us what we already know - she's either in kidney or renal failure. We were hoping to give her extra time and maybe wait til July, but it may be as early as next week. I'll keep you posted.....but it's not looking good.

Either these Drs are total idiots, or there's something missing, that Mom & Dad won't tell us? 
The dehydration is from the constant diarrhea, which causes her BP to go so low. She drinks gatorade all the time, at home, WHEN she's home, but she has no appetite, so we have no clue what the diarrhea is even FROM! 
You go, Girl!
I honestly don't know what else to say. I know how hard this is. 
(Julie can't do that at the rink with Kelly, because it's too personal and unprofessional). 
Kelly did this with only 3 weeks of FS1 classes, AND private lessons from Julie of course, but to achieve this SO FAST is truly amazing! 
I won't bore you with ALL the details, but Kelly was taking FS1 classes from 1 instructor, and has private lessons from Julie, but a 3rd person - the HEAD of the rink, is the one that tested Kelly! So, this is NOT just Coach Julie favortism! 
As a matter of fact, Julie & I OFTEN discuss our different relationships. I'm like HER 2nd mom, and she my 'adopted' daughter, she's also friend/babysitter/neighbor. But, when it comes to skating, she is coach - and strictly coach - I don't question anything there, and our friendship has NEVER made any difference in Kelly's progress - that is all Kelly's progress, with COACH Julie's help. 
to all!
all!!
