Over the course of the previous week alone, it feels as though we have faced every stroke of bad luck imaginable.  Travis was misdiagnosed and thus admitted to the emergency room five days later, on the evening of August 2nd; due to our first clinician’s negligence, we must deal with two separate medical bills on top of the cost of medication.  We later came home to find that our puppy, Teddy, needed to be rushed to the emergency vet the same night.  Medical bills are going to be impossible to manage if we are to go through this alone, but we are turning to our community (our friends, and our family) in hopes that you will find it in your hearts to help us while we resolve and straighten things out in the next two months before Travis leaves for the Airforce.
