This is my bestest friend Dropsie.  Dropsie has been with me since being diagnosed and she is a beautiful gift from "Aunt" Debby.  Dropsie sniffs out pain, cuddles with me and gives me comfort to help me get through the days. Steve and Stephen, Jr. take a much needed rest.  An all to common reality for the La Bruyere family who spent weeks on end at the hospital.
