<DIV>Momma again- We have no new news yet--I know Doc is exhausted, and has
checked on him and had another of the tech's in and I have to think that no news
right now is good----I thank you all so much--I am not sure where I would be
right now without all of you and the special e-mails--other than in a cage next
to him.</DIV>
<DIV>We have searched high-low--under every thing trying to see if there is
something we have missed--the guilt is eating me--we are so careful, or so we
thought. No weed killer no fertilzer, no mulch, no flowers checked with the
neighbors--I landed on him 5 weeks ago as he had out the round-up--but the first
of the week we also had 5 inches of rain here--and this plant leaf--this stupid
thing has been here for 20 years--and as Bev said--when we took it to the
nursery the lady did indeed snap the leaf, and suck on the juice?????? I said to
hubby as we got in the car--hide the licence plates--I can't believe she did
that--doc seems to think it was the leaf, I keep wondering if a mouse that was
poisoned rolled thru his path--I will never know I guess, But as Bev said--take
a minute and look around--I never in a million years would of thought this could
happen, but here we are. </DIV>
<DIV>Elder Clara is devastated. Her eyes are just dull, she has been looking for
him and has gave up. She just lays there, and when I give her bellyrubs and
hugs-she just looks deep into my eyes--wondering--</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We are very sorry that Daisy Mae and Clyde have made the journey to the
bridge. We send our condolences, we hope for safe passage to the
bridge.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Again to all please know I have read and saved each e-maol and hold them
dear to my heart. They are my life-line right now. Thank you all so much--</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We will send a Brudder Elwood update when Doc calls--</DIV>
