Hi "justme." Shall do. As previously mentioned, the book is not dead, it's just in "hiding" for a little while longer. Thank you so much for your kind message.

In the meantime, for the rest of "youse guys" [grin]:

Until my next update to our Website, (June 15th) I'd like to share with you the following:

1) I now make every effort to "Brake for Squirrels." This is because, among the many beautiful, and encouraging emails I received from so many of you--for which I thank you from the bottom of my heart--I believe the following excerpt from the message I received from our beloved "Squirrel King" is one in particular that I feel comfortable sharing without compromising the confidentiality of same. One way or another, the receipt of this email will certainly go far to explain why today--of all days--I actually STOPPED THE CAR to avoid running OVER one of those little rodents [GRIN], who actually had the audacity to STARE at me rather than scampering off to the side of the road!

2) Medical tests continue on my "rug rat." So far, five blood tests, an Ultra-sound, a Cat-Scan, an Upper G.I., and various "pee in a cup--poop on a stick" tests. Still no diagnosis, but we are blessed with a worried pediatrician who is now sending us back to specialists at our local university's medical school, which is a pretty good place to be diagnosed, even though the folks there tend to treat patients as "diseases" rather than people. Regardless, I feel fortunate to have such good resources within my immediate vicinity.

Now, on to wisdom and kindness from the "Squirrel King--(or at least his agent)":

"Marianne,

Me and my slightly furry side-kick ne' non-de plume, The Squirrel King, Wish you nothing but the best, and know that our prayers are with you. Be sure that the SK will be back soon, (We've been bloody busy with a new IT position)...

For your little one, let'em know that the Squirrel King is pulling for him/her, and tell the Docs to behave, or SK may unleash minions into their underpants!!!*grin*

Keep the faith.

Peace."

Well, SK, as I understand it, the "Rocky and Bullwinkle" movie is about to hit the theaters. If those docs don't behave, I may have to kidnap them and strap them into a chair. 'Got popcorn? If so, see 'ya there.

And see the rest of you at the forum (at least I hope so) some time on or after June 15th!

In the meantime, may God bless you and keep you close to his heart.

:)

mariane,

I trust your little one is on the mend by now. I'll remember him/her in my prayers.

I do want to remain on your mailing list.
