One year ago today my Posey was diagnosed with this dreaded disease that I had never heard of before, IMHA. My ignorance led me to believe that this would be something simple and Posey would get an antibiotic and we would be sent home. I didnt realize the beast behind those 4 letters. I watched my healthy 7 year old dalmatian play one day and the very next day fall over. I immediately started her on meds and started my research. My baby girl fought long and hard for 4 weeks. Her body became big due to adema and then she wasted away to nothing. She looked up at me the night before she died and her eyes told me, No More, mom. She succumbed to this beast of a disease 4 weeks after being diagnosed. I lost my baby, my very best friend and a huge part of my soul with her that morning. She died at home in my bedroom where we slept every night and I take comfort in that. I feel like she is always here with me. I vowed I would not let her die in vain, so my husband and I are organizing a walk to raise money for those inflicted with this beast that cannot afford treatment. We are not rich at all and dont have a lot of money ourselves. At all. But, we had richness in Poseys life for 8 years. Funny, she turned 8 on a Monday and we lost her that Saturday. But there are people out there that love their babies just as much as we love our Posey that have less. So walk we will in my Poseys name. Her legacy will hopefully very soon be able to give to those that cant afford this beast. Go Team Posey!! As for today, I am just feeling empty and lifeless and just sad!! I miss my girl so very much. My heart hurts so very much. I think I just need this day and this 4 weeks to myself and those that went thru this. I am feeling extremely lost!! :(
