Will be euthanized around 5:00 this afternoon, she is not getting better and clearly has no realistic chance at a quality life.  

Please understand if I am not here for a couple of days or whatever length of time it takes for me to start to heal.  

Thank you to everyone who tried so hard to help and to support me, I know that all of you know that this is incredibly painful and I need a little bit of space.

Love,

Ellen
