Katie, I'm so glad your family was able to get there so quickly so you have each other to draw strength from. Also, it's good that you can stay in the hospital so you can be there at Buck's side whenever possible. I don't have words except that my heart is breaking that Buck is so seriously ill and had to be intubated. Knowing Buck, it must be torture not being able to talk (or crack jokes). But I'm sure he speaks to you with his eyes right now and your heart understands exactly what he's wanting to say. Give him some big, wet sloppy kisses from all of us and one for you, too. My little Fisher calls them "puppy kisses" and he swears they will fix any and all boo-boos, no matter how bad.
Love ya'll,
Terry
