Wow...that was exhausting...but I did it:)
Not a very clear picture, but a picture nonetheless...
Good day today:) Lucy's eating a little more, and almost back to her good ol' self, just panting and wiped out. (Figures it's suddenly HOT here now) Just trying to enjoy every minute with her that I can now, and not trying to project what's going to happen...
Hope all is well with you all!
G & L
Love the photo. I continue to think of you guys and send best wishes. Hang in there. We are holding your hand from afar. God bless. Kim
Hi Gina,
Love the pic. too. I know getting that pic. up there can be frustrating, I know it was for me :eek::confused: but you did it :) Good Job :D I'm sure next Wednesday we all we be sending good thoughts, prayers, wishes and anything else we can think of, your way. Have a fabulous weekend with your lovely Lucy, and I hope you are having better weather there than what I am having here~rain~rain~past 7 days rain.
Take care, Harley and Lori
Gosh,
I wish that Dr B had been doing this surgery 6 months ago. Pebbles would of been a great candidate. Your dog bring back memerories of what happened to Pebbles. You have a great vet. Everything will turn out great.
Marianne...I'm so sorry that happened to Pebbles.
Is that her in the picture?
Hi everyone....Just wanted to give you a quick update.
I met with one surgeon today and most of the people that are going to be involved Wednesday except the human surgeon from Cedars who's actually going to be doing this. This is the surgery they were doing in the Netherlands, but the technology is better now where they can do it on a large tumor like Lucy has. Apparently Cedars-Sinai is expert at this surgery in humans, transsphenoidal surgery. They go in through the mouth and drill a small incision in the soft palate and remove the tumor (takes about 2 hours)
Of course there are all sorts of risks, and now I have to read over these scary consent forms, but I feel like I don't have a choice anymore. I just hate for her to have to be traumatized. They said she should be able to go home Friday or Saturday. They also take care of all care afterwards except medication, which involves a CT scan before surgery, another MRI after, and periodic follow-up MRIs.
When I asked what time I should call and check on Wednesday, they told me "We'll call you. Just stay at home, bottle of wine, try to relax." Yeah, right.
Anyway, hope all is well with everyone. I'm going to be a nervous wreck, but what else is new. My biggest fear is that she survives the surgery, but something happens and she gets worse....and I'll have put her through that. However, I feel like if I didn't do this, I'd always regret not at least giving her a chance.
Now I've got to read over these awful forms...
Gina and Lucy
P.S. Lucy gets a little better every day, although still seems a bit confused going through doorways, etc.
Gina,
You are a wonderful mom and don't ever forget that. Enjoy your evening with Lucy and give her a big hug from me. Hugs to you too.
Kim
Hang on to that thought regardless of what happens.Quote:

I will be keeping the prayer line open for her.
Keep positive healing thoughts.
