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

He's up and about and his squirter is working. The boys are nothing without their squirters.;) Good news indeed!

I don't know about you guys, but I definitely ROCK! :D

Sending tons more love, hugs and healing energy your way. xxxxx

Gooood morning!! 9am here. I just rang to see how he is again, Leslie I think I am taking after you with the phone calls.

Only got to speak with the receptionist, she rang through and they are doing rounds now. She was told to tell me "he had a good stable night, all things considered" hmmmm dunno what that last bit means. But they are going to call me back after rounds and let me know when I can go over.

Ro, I know Chey is watching over Flynny that was so sweet of you to pop in with a message for him, that means so much as I know how hard it is for you coming here right now... Flynn has Buddy and Tia and lots of our doggies at the bridge barring the way as it was not his time to pass through yet... they are all doing a fab job keeping a watch over him the little darlings.

To all of you, for all my stoicness (is that a word?) I felt so scared yesterday and I will never, ever forget the love you all shared, not to mention all the chocolates from you all and Barbara ordering in more, Mariannes pork tenderloin dinner (and brandy!), Kathy poking everyone and checking I was eating, you all sharing ghost stores Leslies one cracked me up with the squirrel, Addy's made me think of that guy who buried his victims in the crawl space :eek:, everyone climbing under the blanket with me when all the stress made me want to hibernate, Tina, Kathy, Addy, Sharlene all checking in from work and chatting about shopping, tv shows omg if anyone got in trouble for that I would be mortified, Mel and Tracy checking in the middle of the night from UK and EVERYONE putting a positive spin on any snippet of news... I LOVE YOU ALL AND ALL YOUR DARLING DOGGIES LIVING OR PLAYING OVER THE BRIDGE, PLEASE DO NOT EVER FORGET THAT, so many have popped in to wish us well and am so thankful for you all.

By CRIKEY you angels in full flight are a blardy awesome sight... I have never in my life felt so supported... oh ahhh maybe for his adrenalectomy because you all did it then too ... OK I am getting all teary thinking of it again. Just a plain thank you does not seem enough, I want to throw you and the dogs a huge party to thank you for your kindness to a stranger in a little land at the bottom of the world... My Mum said to tell you all thank you as well as I was telling her this morning how fantastic you all are xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx :D:D:D:D:Dxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

You are not a stranger. You are family Trish and we love both of you very much! xxxxx

The nurse just called back! He is doing fine, still on hefty IV pain relief (morpine and fentanyl) and they are going to start weaning that off and transitioning to orals. He has been up and done another wee so kidneys doing ok. PCV is 28 (35-45) it had been lower and is coming up so they think the IV fluids has caused some dilution there. She said no signs of bleeding, tummy looks soft so that's good. Surgeon has not seen him yet so drain is still in but not much in it so she thinks it will probably come out later. She thinks he will be in another 1-2 days. She said they are real busy getting all their patients sorted out and it would be best if I go over after 12, so that is fine with me.

I am just chilling drinking tea right now, think I will get myself organised in a bit and pop to supermarket and get dinner organised for my friends here, they have been super supportive and is so nice being here rather than the motel I had to stay in at the other pet hospital.

Local Mike, sent texts last night after 11pm :eek: he had been out and left his phone behind accidentally and was so relieved to hear the news. He is visiting with his family up north but heading back home today and back to work tomorrow and will be on over weekend and all next week so very pleased about that to know he will be handy if we need him when we get back.

Morning :D

So pleased to read your reports, seems like they are on top of his care, nice they called you back to give you some more news!

It's been a stressful week so far to say the least for you, so am glad you can go back in a bit and check up on him, nothing like seeing their little faces.

I love local Mike, I wish you could bottle him and send him over, he really does care about Flynn to be contacting you that late.

Big hug to you and gentle scratches to the big strong man Flynn xxxxxx

GEEZ LOUISE, I am reading your post and getting all misty and teary eyed. I’m at work- so this is short-
Dang, girl, stranger? NO WAY – the rule is- no one waits alone, we are family. It is what we do, It is what you have done for others too 

love ya

Oh what great news to come home to! I had to run out during the day and didn't have web access (I only have a dumbphone :()

Will anxiously await the next update, Trish! Please tell Flynn how beloved he is -- by so many! -- when you see him. :) :)

(By the way, doing lamb shank tonight for anybody who is still a bit peckish...;)).

Trish this all sounds just wonderful! Up walking, peed twice, vocalizing stopped, meds to be decreased...YAY! :cool::cool::cool:

Ya know....I wouldn't recognize you if you were to walk in my front door but you're no stranger. ;) Your post brought back so many memories and feelings from our own experiences and there is nothing like our family here - it just can't be beat.

Aaaand then I read Marianne's comment, thought I understood, then did a double-take, really DID understand, and started howling! "dumbphone" :p:D:p:D:p

Yah Flynn up and about for wee wee,s well done you. You helped me so much with Woody,s surgery last month even down to what to ask the surgeon so we,re just repaying the debt to Flynn :D

Marianne - can I share your dinner I,ve just burned mine too busy catching up on Flynn :D

I have a migraine hovering, so I'm going to try to rest after I get home and take care of my folk's needs. They usually have a list for me. I'll try to check in a little later. I'm thrilled that Flynny continues to improve.

Yes Trish, our fur angels were blocking the gate to the rainbow bridge. I can just see my chilled out dude saying, " It's not your time dude. It's awesome here and we'll save a place for you, but you must return to you Mum for now. You have many more places to explore on earth. Go on Flynn, go back to your mum. She is waiting for you." :) xxxxx
