Elly Memorial

I lost my precious baby Elly Monday around 1:15 pm. She had been a real fighter her entire life, from the day I slit open the egg from the Luie and Camille 6 month retained clutch to get her out, until the day she passed away. Elly was the only baby from the 6 month retained clutch and such a tiny little baby that I called her my miracle baby. I am lost without her. I gave her extra special care just about her entire life. Back before Christmas she had recovered from the broken legs and seemed to be really feeling good and getting around all over her free range and then she had the prolapse December 30th and had complications that caused her demise. Dr. Alfonso said the inflammation from this issue probably caused some toxemia. Here’s the link about her prolapse. https://www.chameleonforums.com/anyone-experience-female-prolapse-73088/

Elly brought so much joy to our lives. I am so thankful for the time I had with her. I put together some pictures of Elly from one day old until a few weeks ago to honor her short little life.

That is so sad to hear. She certainly was an adorable little girl.

Jann, my heart breaks for you and all you've gone through lately. I wish that somehow I could take away your pain. It's pictures like these, though that show why we go through the pain, again and again. R.I.P. Elly

Awww Jann i'm so sorry to hear that Elly has gone to be with her mom, I know how precious she was and she will be greatly missed. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Oh Jann!! I am SO very sorry for you! You have had to go through TOO much as of late!! I will have to break the news to the kids tonight, she has been a constant in their prayers every night since the beginning of the year She was such a special girl, and I know you showed her that everyday!

Jann I know how hard this has been on you. Although I know it hurts, I am so thankful for what Elly brought to your life and to others she met though this forum. She was a beautiful girl and you gave her the best life she could ever have. I have been touched by all I have heard about her life. Please know you are in my heart as you go though yet another very painful and difficult time. Elly now has her angel wings

So very sorry that you lost her. She was lucky to have you to look after her...and you were lucky to have her too. I know you will hold her in your heart forever.

jann i am very deeply sorry for your loss she was very lucky to have you as her mommy.

Jann, i am very sorry to hear you have lost your baby Elly.. I am sure she knew you did all you could in order to make her feel better during her roughh times. She now joins her mommy where they can look down on you with all the love in their hearts. I know it must be really hard on you, but at least Elly is now in peace.

Rest in peace Elly

Oh Jann, I'm so sorry to hear this. What a tragedy, but remember what a miracle her little life was. I don't think that anyone else could have gotten her to do as well as you did for so long. I've said it before, but you are an inspiration to the rest of us.

when i saw these precious pictures of little Elly, i started crying. i have such a huge lump in my throat and rock in my stomach over what's happened to Elly.

i only have one chameleon, my male veiled, Jango, and i've only had him for 1.5 months, but the love i feel for him and how much he means to me is already way beyond the limits of the universe. i feel so much for what you've been through Jann, i know you know that from my PM's to you.

silence can't even convey how devastating this is...

i celebrate the gentle joy, the precious spirit, the depth of heart, and the eternal love of both of you. Jann and Elly...forever and ever and ever. i cry with you too Jann. she is a very special little angel, and so are you. thank you both for being on earth, it matters more than words can say. Elly stayed for as long as she could and then grew wings for her foreverness. i am grateful for knowing both of you, as little as that is, it is everything to me.

Jann I was worried when you had not been posting on the forum for a few days.. I was hoping you where just way too busy with work and not something tragic.

Poor Elly was dealt a bad hand at life. She would have never made it as far as she did without your love and care. I know her short time in this world was full of love and she couldn't have asked for a better home and a better mom and dad.

I am very very sorry Jann.

Post above couldnt have said it any better.

Sorry for your loss jann.
