More Sad News

When Mom died, Aunt Sue and Uncle Dan took her dog CoCo home with them. She had been doing well until last night apparantly. When Aunt Sue came home and tried to take CoCo out, she was kind of lethargic. She went out peed, but had trouble pooping and trouble coming back in. So they took her to the vet. The vet did some tests and x-rays and found fluid in CoCo's lungs and abdominal cavity. Their diagnosis: lung cancer. Just like Mom. So they had to put CoCo to sleep last night.

All of us in the family are wondering if this is a coincidence or not. There are several other isolated incidents too that may or may not be related. We are wondering if there is something in either the marsh behind the house or in the house itself. I called my friend Abby to tell her and she told her husband, who happens to be a heating and cooling guy. He thinks that there could be something wrong with the furnace or something and will be checking it out very quickly. I know that we need to know, but I don't want to know if it means that Mom's death could have been prevented.
