The November 2009 AIHA/IMHA Success Story is now up at the Meisha's Hope AIHA/IMHA Web site. The November 2009 Success Story is about Tiggs whose human mom/caregiver, Melissa, posts regularly on this forum. Tiggs' photo will give you a BIG smile and his story will provide you with HOPE and encouragment that not only can dogs survive AIHA/IMHA, they can go on to live happy, healthy lives.

Thank you all so much for the kind comments. We would have NEVER made it this far without Joanne's Meisha's Hope site, and this WONDERFUL group of people. Your knowledge, love and support has made the battle a little easier. We thank each and every one of you who has been with us here on this board. We have cried with you when we have lost a beloved furkid, and celebrated the victories when our babies do well. If our story can help someone through the dark and scary days of IMHA and give some hope, then it has made this detour worth the while. Thank you, thank you, thank you all. We love you, and Dog Bless you :) melissa and tiggs and the rest of our family, Adam, Honey (currently recovering from three knee surgeries in as many weeks) and grumpy ol' Winnie too :)

Wow, I love that story. Joanne, I have spent hours some days reading those success stories, to know that there is hope, and they are all amazing. What a great site. Melissa and Tiggs, your story DOES give hope and to hear that Tiggs is doing so well and back to his old self is fantastic. I admit to a tear or two on reading the story. What a battle you have both had, and I wish Tiggs continuing good health for years to come - he is beautiful. Silka

Melissa -- congratulations to you, Adam, and Tiggs! Thank you for sharing Tiggs' story and your journey with the vets as you all tried to help Tiggs beat IMHA. As always, I learned a lot. Take care.

Congrats to to Tiggs and Melissa. Way to go guys! I had the pleasure of meeting Tiggs and his mom last winter and I can attest to him being a beautiful and happy boy! It was theraputic to see Tiggs so healthy after the loss of my Ollie last fall. I was feeling a bit down yesterday as it was the one year anniversary of Ollies' diagnosis, but when I logged on and saw their story it made me smile again. Way to go, and thank you Joanne!
