Thanks for the support everybody - it's much appreciated. Her favorite thing was running (she would literally run until her feet bled, and then run some more, if left to her own devices) and she hadn't been able to do that almost at all the last six month, and not more than a few yards at time for at nearly the last two years; it was definitely time, and probably well beyond time.
