Hi Gina,
You and LucyGoo have been on my mind every day since I learned of her upcoming surgery and certainly no less today, the big day. Lucy and you are surrounded by hope and prayers. The operating room is quite crowded since we are all there in spirit plus the souls of all the cush pups that are at the Bridge are there as well, lending her strength and encouragement.
Please, don't hesitate to post at anytime today. It doesn't even have to make sense; just know we are here and willing to do anything we can to make this day pass easier for you.
There aren't enough words to express my gratitude to you and Lucy, or my admiration for your courage, or the hope this gives me and many others. You and Lucy are pioneers in a brave new world, helping to open a door of hope and promise for all PDH pups in the US.
Remember, many hands are here reaching out for yours, many arms ready to hold you, many shoulders ready to help you carry the burden of today's wait.
Hugs, prayers, and positive thoughts,
Leslie and the girls
Hi everyone...thank you so much. I really can feel all of the support for Lucy today.
Don't know anything yet. I just got home, and opening a bottle of wine (like they told me to) and waiting for the phone call from Dr. B around 4. He said he'd call me then no matter what, just so I'm not going crazy. They might get delayed or whatever. They let me stay with her in the quiet room until around 1 p.m., when they took her to do the CT scan. She was heavily sedated and feeling good, but she knew I was there, and I tried not to cry because I didn't want to get her upset, nor did I want any negative vibes going on. So I held it together pretty good.
So now we wait....I'll try and post again as soon as I hear anything.
Much love,
Gina and Lucy
Hi Gina,
So glad you posted. I have been checking all day for ya. We are all right here with you waiting anxiously too.
I'm glad when you were with her you were able to hold it together, they can sense when you are upset or nervous about something, you're such a good Mom.
I'll keep checking back and sending positive thoughts and prayers.
Hanging with you, Gina!
Thank you for the update, Gina! I've been popping in and out of here all day, hoping to hear from you.
Did they really tell you to go home and open a bottle of wine? :D Good on them, if they did and good for you for following their wise advice.
Fingers and everything else that can be crossed are crossed way up here in Canada for you and your Lucy.
(((hugs))) to you again, too!
Update!
Just heard from Dr. B, finally. He said it looks like they got "a lot" of the tumor out. :confused: (What does that mean??) She's doing well, doing well under anesthesia, and he'll call me back in another hour and a half, two hours:eek::eek:
Could this be any more drawn out and dramatic??:eek:
Anyway, will let you all know when I hear again, but at least she made it through the first phase (brain swelling from the initial incision and change in pressure)
Gina, I think that's a good sign that Dr. B called.
I hope someone is there with you while you are waiting, but if not, WE ALL ARE.Quote:

Thanks so much for the updates, as you can see I am glued to this computer just waiting to hear your updates about Lucy.
Hi Gina,
Thanks for letting us know how Lucy is doing so far. What an ordeal for you both! I am popping in and out to see how you girls are doing and always hoping for the best.
Hugs and prayers continue to fly your way!
Leslie and the girls
Again, thanks for the update. :)
Maybe they didn't get all of the tumour out, but if he said they got "a lot" of it out, then they very likely got enough of it to make a very positive difference in Lucy's quality of life and to stop the neuro-type symptoms she was having, so that sounds good to me!
I'm sure Dr. B will be keeping you updated and hopefully he can soon give you more information and answer some of the questions you want to ask him now.
(((hugs))) again! :)
P.S. Do you have any idea when they'll let you visit Lucy in recovery?
