This is such a story, told by my new friend and guest author, Jeff Guidry. This is Jeff's story. Freedom and Jeff Freedom and I have been together 10 years this summer. She came in as a babyin 1998 with two broken wings. Her left wing doesn't open all the way evenafter surgery, it was broken in 4 places. She's my baby. When Freedom came in she could not stand. Both wings were broken, her leftwing in 4 places. She was emaciated and covered in lice. We made thedecision to give her a chance at life, so I took her to the vet's office.From then on, I was always around her. We had her in a huge dog carrierwith the top off, and it was loaded up with shredded newspaper for her tolay in. I used to sit and talk to her, urging her to live, to fight; andshe would lay there looking at me with those big brown eyes. We also had totube feed her for weeks. This went on for 4-6 weeks, and by then she still couldn't stand. It got tothe point where the decision was made to euthanize her if she couldn't standin a week. You know you don't want to cross that line between torture andrehab, and it looked like death was winning. She was going to be put downthat Friday, and I was supposed to come in on that Thursday afternoon. Ididn't want to go to the center that Thursday, because I couldn't bear thethought of her being euthanized; but I went anyway, and when I walked ineveryone was grinning from ear to ear. I went immediately back to her cage;and there she was, standing on her own, a big beautiful eagle. She wasready to live. I was just about in tears by then. That was a very goodday. We knew she could never fly, so the director asked me to glove train her. Igot her used to the glove, and then to jesses, and we started doingeducation programs for schools in western Washington. We wound up in thenewspapers, on radio (believe it or not) and some TV. Miracle Pets even dida show about us. In the spring of 2000, I was diagnosed with non-Hodgkins lymphoma. I hadstage 3, which is not good (one major organ plus everywhere), so I wound updoing 8 months of chemo. Lost the hair - the whole bit. I missed a lot ofwork. When I felt good enough, I would go to Sarvey and take Freedom outfor walks. Freedom would also come to me in my dreams and help me fight thecancer. This happened time and time again. Fast forward to November 2000, the day after Thanksgiving, I went in for mylast checkup. I was told that if the cancer was not all gone after 8 roundsof chemo, then my last option was a stem cell transplant. Anyway, they didthe tests; and I had to come back Monday for the results.
