Just wanted to ask all of you to send best wishes to Punkey Bear!

As you know, she's been in the hosp for over 9 weeks now up in Canada... And today she had a 2 part surgery to see if they can finally get her fixed up!

She is quite a ways away from much of her family and gets few visitors. I know she checks in here as she is able! Lets let her know we're thinking of her! :)

Thanks!!
Becca~

I felt so sorry for her god bless her. Where on Canada is she? I feel bad she is so alone.

I'm not sure where in Canada, but I know she was having issues with receiving quality medical care and her parents were trying to get things straightened out... I've had several surgeries, but just cannot imagine being in the hosp for that long not knowing what was wrong!!
