Lucygoo - Pit. macroadenoma, endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery, trans-oral approach

Hi All.....Lucy's doing better today it seems. She wagged her tail at me for the first time:D She still seems blind, but we think she has vision up close, because she reacts to shiny objects, light, and your hand in front of her eyes. All she wants to do is walk now, even though it exhausts her. She's struggling...it's almost like she knows she has to practice walking and she's determined to get it right. She's off IV meds and fluids now. I'm waiting to hear from Dr. B to see what the game plan is now....I'll post another update then.
Hope all is well with everyone,
Gina and Lucy

Hi Gina,

Very happy you are seeing some improvements and hopefully the Goo girl is starting to feel better, even a little bit everyday.

We continue to keep positive thoughts and prayers for Goo's continued recovery.

Hi Gina!

Just wanted you to know that we're still keeping everything crossed (fingers, toes and paws!) up here in Canada for you and Lucy. It's surely got to take some time for her to recover after a major surgery like this, so please keep the faith.

And please keep updating as often as you can.

(((HUGS!)))

Hi Gina,

Thanks so much for the update. I know that I'm not the only one that waits for your updates and I love the good reports. I am hoping and praying with everything in me that the impaired vision is a temporary thing. I'll be anxiously awaiting for your next update.

((Warm hugs to you and Lucy))

Gina,

So happy you had a nice visit with Lucy.

I bet that did put a smile on your face when she wagged her tail at you :D I know I smiled when I read that in your post.

Thanks for all the updates, I know we've all been worried about you and Lucy and it's been so nice of you to let us follow along so closely.

We'll keep sending positive thoughts and prayers your way.

Hi Gina,

Wagging her tail! Wanting to walk! How wonderful!! :D:D That has just brightened my day! I'm sure it did yours and that you felt some better today than you did yesterday when you left.

Now, get some more sleep tonite and I will pray that tomorrow will be even better than today for both of you.

Hugs,
Leslie and the girls

Hi everyone....


As I'm writing this Dr. B just called me. I just love him.. He has such a good bedside manner. He's hopeful about Lucy's vision too...he thinks she's had some kind of stroke. But he was very aware of right side/left side difficulties with her, so I'm hopeful now:) Anyway, I know this doesn't make much sense to any of you, and I'm just rambling at this point, but I'm much happier now:)) He wants her to come home tomorrow, so I'm scheduled to pick her up around 1 pm...he wants to see how she does at home.

I'm sure I'll be boring you all soon with my next blabbering nonsense!

Ciao,
Gina and Lucy

Hi Gina,
The fact that Lucy can come home soon is great. She will recuperate much better at home with you. Vet stress can slow the recovery so getting Lucy home will be good for her and you too, you can watch her all day, and give us lots of updates.:D

Jenny,
Thanks...and I can go broke in the meantime!:) I've already decided to take yet another week off in light of the circumstances...I can't see leaving her home alone for even 5 minutes now. What the hell...I just won't go on holiday or vacation now untill...well, forever...but she's worth it, right?

Love to you all:)

Gina and Lucy

Gina,

Lucy is more than worth it!

Now that Buddy is gone I look back at the things we "gave up" to care for him and I wouldn't change a thing, matter of fact I would do it all again and probably will when one of my other dogs need me.

I know you are stressed and have no so called "yardstick" to measure Lucy's progress but I am so sure that home is the best place for her.
