RE: Dendrobium Update and Some Other Stuff

I'll give Molly a big hug from you. She sure gets a lot of those. lol. It's sad, but she keeps plugging away! It takes some time for her to regain her awareness and movement, but she does and acts like nothing has happened. The vet says they can not do anything until they get closer together and that there is the possibility that one of these times she will die during the episode.

We really are not sure if they are seizures or syncope episodes. They appear to be more seizure like rather than the heart stopping. She does have a pretty noticeable and worsening heart murmur too. I know, she has a lot of problems.

We could of bought a nice cheery red, foreign sports car with the amount of money we have spent on her.. But the pleasure would have been empty compared to what she has given us over the years. She is loved deeply, so what will be will be.

Not moving the orchid, but she does need a better pot. She wants something nicer than the plastic one it came home in. Hahaha.. I used to watch The Flying Nun and you're right! Looks just like one of those hats. Nice spot!

Poor Molly! Is it the breed or just bad luck? I know what you mean about the cost of the vet and treatments, but you are right. You just can't put a price on love.

She does deserve a better set of duds, for sure. something that won't take away from her beauty. :) You grow the best orchids! I have never seen anyone have so many and have them all do so well!

Sister Bertrille! Indeed! I loved that show. :)

Some of her issues are breed related but mostly just bad luck. Addison's Disease and the heart condition is just bad luck. Thanks for the love @dswigle 😊
