Hey Cassandra,
I'm so sorry that you're losing hope for Tomi. I hate
that feeling of helplessness. If sheer will could be
turned into truth, we'd all still have our furbabies
with us. I'm sorry that you two are going through
this.
I don't have any advice for you. Anemia is a
heartless condition that leaves so many heartbroken.
If you need anything, just ask. Please keep us posted
on Tomi. Prayers going out for peace for you and
Tomi.
:)
