I just talked to BlueBird.  She said to tell everyone hi.  She's still
hanging in there, but she only gets on the computer once a day, just
long enough to read her e-mail and occasionally send a joke or something
to some of her friends.

LittleBit is doing amazingly well.  The vet gave up on him, and he's a
vet who doesn't give up easily.  So BB took him to her herbalist, who
prescribed assorted herbs.  He hates taking the stuff, but he's
thriving.  Well, he doesn't eat much, and weighs only six pounds, but he
plays a little and seems happy.  When the vet saw him a couple of months
after he said he couldn't do any more, he was amazed.

BB is coughing a lot, but she said the pain from her liver is much less.
She attributes that to the herbs, too.  Who am I to argue?
