my beautiful 7 year old (turning 8 in may) Tri-color boy was recently diagnosed with suspected GME. Recently, he also had a swollen eye (left side) and ultrasound revealed something "mass like" in the retrobulbar area. He also has a grade III/VI murmur.
we are trying to treat symptomatically with prednisone and ccnu and might have a CT scan done on monday if he doesn't improve over the weekend after oral/opthalmic antibiotics.
this came upon us very suddenly in the last few months and i have come to realize that me and my family might not have very long to spend with him. he has deteriorated slowly in the last week or so - just very tired and sleeps most of the time.
he has been such a joy to us over the last 8 years - he was such a special boy and sooooo smart. it'll be hard to let him go when the time comes (which is now probably going to much sooner than we thought).
my sister's been crying all day and it's very hard for me to stay strong...
it is going to be a long weekend. for all you cavalier lovers out there, how did you know when the time came to let your loved one go?
