Well we lost Charlie yesterday. He had IMHA, and his counts had actually reached the normal stage, but the massive amount of meds he had to take to get there must have got him. He had been unwilling to do anything the last few days, but I attributed that to the fact that he may have torn his ACL. He was due to go in on Monday, but when I got up Sunday he had peed all over himself. I knew something was wrong beyond the ACL and called the clinic telling them I was coming in.. I had to drag him (140 lbs) to the car. He literally couldn't walk more than a few steps. By the time I got to the clinic he had died. I hope I didn't make his last minutes miserable by manhandling him into the car. The crushing part is my kids.
My fourteen year old boy had a snapchat with a broken heart that said "Goodbye Charlie. I hope you get treats in Heaven". And an instagram saying he lost his buddy and best friend just when he thought he was getting better.
My daughter in college had a heartbreaking post on facebook with a pic of her and Charlie.

Sincere condolences to you and your children.
JOHN ROBERTS: From time to time in the years to come, I hope you will be treated unfairly so that you will come to know the value of justice... I wish you bad luck, again, from time to time so that you will be conscious of the role of chance in life and understand that your success is not completely deserved and that the failure of others is not completely deserved either.

Charlie probably thought of his journey to the car as playful wrestling with a loved one again. ( any physical contact with a loved one is highly prized.)
Sorry for the families' loss
