Hi Mia's Mama!!!  I just wanted to say that I know this can be an overwhelming time and my heart goes out to you and my prayers are with Mia.  I have a Neo Mastiff named Attila and trust me when I say that I know exactly how you are feeling alone in this.  My husband and I recently separated and then I find out the only male left in my life is faced with a battle for his life.  Attila had his surgery done about 2 weeks ago and I know the emotional roller coaster I was on prior to his amputation.  There's a flood of emotions you go through and while I have been a spectator gathering information mostly, i felt compelled to tell you to stay strong and carefully weigh all the options.  With my boy, I felt like he has challenges but euthansia isn't even an option if he's got a big ole slobbery smile on his face.  I also know exactly how you feel when you say you are at work but mentally you're reallly nowhere but focused on Mia.  It's ok to be scared but don't let it cloud your decision making. Trust me I know it's hard when all you want is for her to be better. Thank you for posting because now I'm going to post as there's challenges I am facing post diagnosis. I just wish you and Mia the best of luck and may God continue to guide your decisions. -Mara & Attila
