       I'll admit, I had to go read the next message, since two had rolled in from   
   you, after I read this part.  I was wishing the best for you, and I'm glad that   
   things are looking good so far.  :)   
       My son is already kind of prepped for whatever happens to Chicken; he knows   
   that what he has is terminal.  Still, Chicken seems so normal and kitten-like,   
   except for his quickly expanding girth, that I think it's going to hit him   
   harder than he thinks.  I know it's gonna hit me hard; I hope that whenever I   
   find out about it Deschain is at school; I really don't want him to have to see   
   me blubbering about it.   
       That sounds like it may have been a kind of tricky surgery.  I'm really   
   glad that everything worked out well for you guys.  :)  I hope you've got some   
   years of happy fun in the sun left with him.  :)
