Flynn 11 y/o Foxie Cross - Right adrenalectomy- Good Bye Flynny We will miss you

Love your positivity!!! I have been thinking about you and Flynn. Safe travels. Looking forward to updates. Sending positive vibes your way.

Paws up Flynn!

Well we are here, Flynn thinks he is on holiday! Little does he know :eek: He has had a good run and sniff around outside, had his dinner now settling down for the night. He has to be there at 9.30am for his adrenalectomy, so will keep you posted how we go. Fingers and everything else crossed but I am feeling surprisingly calm right now, I am sure it will be a different story in the morning :o
Trish and Flynn xx

Trish,

You and Flynn are definitely in my thoughts and prayers. His tumor is on the small side, he is a strong, healthy boy and you have a great surgeon and facility. Still, you are very courageous. Keep your eye on the prize and hang tough.

Trish, I read the article about your doctor and he sounds quite awesome! I hope the surgery goes well and Flynn comes through better than ever. He is a great dog and has a fabulous mom who will go that extra mile for him. What a lucky boy. :)
We'll be right here with you and sending every positive good vibe I can find your way.

HI all - here I am back from dropping Flynny in to the hospital. I had a good talk with the surgeon and went through it all again, especially the bit about vena cava removal. His plan seems solid to me, but what do I know!! He said he has done much more difficult vena cava removals than Flynnys. I asked him if he thinks adrenalectomy is the most difficult surgery, he said no! He said it is no more tricky than his liver resection last year and he is confident it is all going to go well, he said most likely the anaesthetist will have a trickier time than he will. So if he is confident, I am going to be too... till I hear anything otherwise Flynn is going to be fine!!

This morning, they check his bloods including coagulations etc so they have baseline then spend some time making sure all the monitoring lines are in place and working. They want the senior anaesthetist there so she apparently is free about 1.30ish, they said not to expect to hear anything till 4.30pm (it is close to 10.30am Monday as I type this)... so 6 hrs of waiting starting now... SO PAWS UP FLYNNY (I like that Ro :)) I am allowed to visit him later, he was so bright and perky this morning, loving his little one night vacation :D, he was just a bit peed off I did not give him some chicken that he knows is in the fridge.

I just love the positivity of this surgeon!!!! He makes me feel confident!! I feel good about this, Trish. I will be anxiously awaiting updates. Fingers and paws crossed. Flynn is a brave boy.

Me too Ro, I know its risks though.. he has been clear about that. 1 1/2 hrs of waiting down, 4 1/2 to go. Tick Tock....

Sending huge hugs and will be keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers. Will check back for updates.
