Jo Ann, Tasha's mom just informed us that her son was in a terrible car accident Wednesday and was air lifted to Palm Springs. He's still in the hospital. She says he'll be okay.
Let's send all of our positive energy and prayers in the Tripawd style to everyone in her family. With the loss of her darling Ruby just a few weeks ago, I know that she is already sad and hurt.
Comet - 1999 to 2011
She departed us unexpectedly January 23, 2011 at the age of 12 1/2.
She was born with a deformed front leg and a tripawd all of her life.
My prayers are with Tasha's family. Please keep us updated.

Thank you for sharing. Certainly all the good thoughts I can find are sent to Jo Ann and family. Wishing her son a speedy recovery.
Shanna & Spirit Trouble ~ Trouble gained her wings 3/16/2011, a 27 1/2 month cancer survivor, tail wagging. RIP sweetheart, you are my heart and soul. Run free at Rainbow Bridge.

My sweet golden Mackenzie. She became my angel on Dec 29, 2010 at the age of 8 1/2 although she was always my angel from the time we brought her home. She was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in Sept 2009 and officially became a tripawd (front leg) on Nov 5, 2009. She will be forever in my heart and now she's running free with all of our other tripawd heroes. I love you Mackenzie!
JoAnn,
Your son and your family are in our prayers today.
Elizabeth and Sammy and family sending hugs your way!

Thank everyone for the positive thoughts and prayers.
I got that call in the middle of the night, the one everyone fears, telling me my son was the passenger in a single car roll over accident. My son must have had an angel beside him that night, the driver of the car was killed and my son, Robbie, had severe chest trauma, a broken nose and ribs survived. Robbie as well as ourselves were given a miracle that night. Robbie just called, they are releasing him today. Last week was a very emotional and stressful week, thankfully that week is behind us and today we start a new week with good news.
Again Thank You for your support of my son and continued support of Tasha.
