Oh..I don't even have the words. I'm so sorry. Our seven year old has just
been diagnosed with The Murmur and we are heartbroken. We all know this is a
possibility with our beloveds, but the reality is too hard to bear sometimes. I
am very saddened for you.

Hugs and Cavie kisses from my Artie and Lucky,
