timely manner – but I have talked with you in the meantime, of course. I
talked with Susan this morning, so I know that Comet’s surgery was scheduled
for this morning. I don’t want to bother you with a phone call just now, but I
wanted you to know that we are thinking of you and Comet with love and wishes
for a full recovery for both of you !<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Calibri'>I must convey rather sad news
which occurred very recently which greatly affect my personal life. Very
recently just early this week my Dog guide, Comet, was diagnosed with a type
of cancer appeared to be “Thymoma”. The effective treatment is surgical
removal. I am now talking with Kansas State University Veterinary School
Clinic to set up an appointment for comet. It looks as I could set an
appointment as early as this coming Tuesday morning which I am shooting for.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:10.0pt'><font size=3 face=Calibri><span
style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Calibri'>Right now comet is doing fine.
She is eating and drinking well and being pretty active that is a good sign.
However, I am predicting that it would be a completely different story a
month ahead if she goes on untreated. According to comet’s veterinarian, if
she receives no treatment I will lose her within six months (approximately).
I am asking for your prayer for comet and myself. There are many things I
need to think of that includes the best treatment for comet, expensive cost
of the treatment, and Comet’s recovery which is possible if she could
withstand the surgical treatment and if a team of veterinarians could remove
the tumor located in her chest between her throat and her heart completely,
not to mention my dissertation work. In a mean time, Comet and I both are
fully intending to resume our normal life as possible.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
