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

Oh my gosh I can just picture you and Squirt on squirrel patrol with a crystal lamp in hand! hahahahahaa

Any squirrels in the house Trish? hehehe

When my husband is away over night, Molly goes on house patrol. She use to be freaky about the stairs to the basement and would sit and watch them to make sure nothing came up while he was away. She'd hear a noise, like the furnace or pipes and run to the stairs and look down them, give a bark and lay down, watching for anything to just try and get up to us.

Hey Angels,
Are you all hanging in there okay? It's getting very late for some of you.

11:47 here on the East Coast....5:47 in Auckland. My eyes closed for awhile...but I'm back with a 2nd wind.
Hoping to hear good news soon!

Before Zoe and Koko ( hubby works in the evening), I was sometimes afraid to go in our basement, we have two crawl spaces and they always freaked me out. Now with the pups here, I never even think twice about it.

We should be hearing something pretty soon. I think the phone will ring pretty soon.

Dang, I wish I had any kind of chocolate. Hubby just finished roasting the dog' turkey breast. He cuts it up for their treats. Guess turkey will have to do. Dont tell Zoe and Koko I'm eating their turkey;)

Yay news, he is out but still unconscious with tube down and they waiting for him to wake up. It was IMS Mike that just called and he said surgeon is going to call soon with the details but sounds like it went well, IMS said he knew I was anxious so he wanted to call first to reassure me. They got the kidney and bowel biopsies plus a biopsy of another liver nodule but I am hoping that is the ones he has always had and biopsied a few times previously. His BP was good, which makes the whole pheo thing less likely, he said it went a little low if anything. Did not bleed too much.

I asked again about care overnight, he reassured me there are several nurses and he will be well watched. He is telling them I want to visit but he said he tends to keep them pretty well sedated as he does not like them to alert initially so I am not to be shocked if he is still real sleepy.

10:52 in Arkansas

Please all you lovelies go to bed, you will be knackered staying up so late. You have all been a tower of strength to me and I thank you from the bottom of my heart xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx :)

Are you going to see him?

When will they call again?

Fabulous news Trish!! Yes, are you going to see him?

I will be going to see him... he said surgeon would call soon. He said to leave it an hour or so and to call the after hours number to speak to the nurses before going.

WHEW!!! Good news so far!! (Thanks for giving me that poke, K!) :) :) :)

I'll still want to hear the surgeon's report, though, so just whack me again when it's time (and also if I start snoring because I don't want to embarrass myself in front of y'all! :eek:)

Soooooo happy it's over and sounds like things went very well!! Me too...got to hear what the surgeon has to say. Now on to a speedy recovery Flynn!

Oh thank god! so glad surgery seems to have gone well. Will be anxiously awaiting news from the surgeon too.
So, they will keep him pretty groggy over night it sounds like?
Oh Flynn, such a good boy.

hugs Trish! good news indeed
Sharlene and Molly Muffin

So glad that the surgery went well! Sending more loving hugs to you both.

Yes, must hear the surgeon's report! Lol Marianne, I likely may be snoring right along with you. I trust that Kathy will not let that happen! :p

Whew, but I'll still feel better when Flynny is awake.

Not leaving you yet, girlfriend.

Thank you God:):):):)

Great news so far! :D I'm glad that you're going to see him Trish. Even if he is sedated, I would want to be there too.

I am happy to poke you anytime Marianne! :D

Give our boy our love. He probably feels it already. We have been surrounding both of you for the past 24 hours or so.

I am also anxious to hear about the surgeons report. Xxxxx

Oh, praise be! Sounds really good, Trish! :):):) I hope you get to see him a minute or three and he is soon home where he belongs.

Hugs, prayers, and healing energies continue!

Nothing from surgeon yet, wish he would hurry and call... hope he is waking up ok

Yes, we are all waiting for him to wake up too! You have had such a long day! I am still here with you. :p. xxxx

yes I agree, hope recovery is going well. Maybe since it's the last surgery, the surgeon is just taking some time to clean up and write up days notes, go over to see how the patients are all doing and then will make calls to the families.
Flynn is probably snoozing away, pain free and groggy as all get out.
hugs,
Sharlene and Molly Muffin

Yes I hope so, if he has not rung by 7, I am ringing them. It is not the first time a vets view of "soon" has been quite different to mine!

I'm sorry that you're having to wait so long Trish. I know that it's nerve racking. We can feel it too! :o. Xxxxxx

well seven is not too far away, they never run on the time we hope for.

we will just keep the positive thoughts and vibes going:)

yes, almost 7pm there. Anxious to hear what he has to say. Addy's right we've got the positive rays beaming to Auckland.

Addy,
I love Zoe's avatar. She is so hairy!:D

Drat, I had hoped to hear the surgeon's report before turning in. But I'm afraid I need to head off or else I'll be good for nothing tomorrow. I'll be back again in about five hours, though, and until then I will be holding Flynnie safe in my dreams!

I told hubby we could go to bed as soon as we hear from Flynn's surgeon. LOL I think he is currently konked out on the couch. That nap earlier helped a lot.

Maybe I'll just run upstairs and throw some pj's on while we are waiting.

hugs,
Sharlene and molly muffin

:D Sharlene..I just did that myself. My husband went in without me. Trixie and I holding out for the surgeons report with Jimmy Fallon's show.

OK report is in from surgeon, just wanted to let you know... pretty good too :D But its going to be my usual novel so doing this short one first to put you out of waiting limbo

I'm sitting in bed with an electric blanket over my legs watching Craig Ferguson. Everyone has been out to potty, Grace's bedding changed, crates wrapped, and the pups are all asleep now. Between Sophie's snoring and snorting, Squirt and Brick's dream sounds, and Grace's honking, it's never quiet in here! :D

Oh, goodie! I'm so happy to hear that short report is GOOD! :cool::):cool::):cool:

Well, I am a step ahead of you gals. I am in bed with my iPad waiting for the report. :D I'll need to crash soon or I will be useless dealing with the kids tomorrow. It is hard enough when I am rested.:o

Back! I'm going with the pink and grey tonight, flannel's, perfect for up on a long winters evening. hmmm... I think I'm feeling Christmasy! Now if there was a fire going and a cup of hot chocolate in my hand... with mint and marshmallows. LOL I'd be set.

I'm getting my christmas wish list going. I have a really long list for our k9cushing forum.
Flynn having a good, easy, complete recovery is right up there at the top too.

Now on come on surgeon!
Sharlene and Molly Muffin

Still waiting here too, pj's on, wrapped in a blanket. :) I can wait for the long version, I need details!!

I'm so glad to hear that the short report is good. Way to go Flynny! :) Way to go mom! :)I'm off to bed now knowing that you and our boy are okay. :p I am anxious to read the full report in the morning. Continuing to send positive energy and wellness thoughts your way.:p

((((((((((HUGS))))))))

my laptop just froze up. dang, I think I have to go bed now.

ok, sounds like prelim is good, hope you are off to see Flynn


i think i will try to snooze for a few hours and check back.

love ya and better turn this thing off for a bit, my green light has to go out for a few hours but I am with you in thought

yay!! Pretty good is great! :p

Sweetie, the old bod is screaming to lay down so I'm off for the night. I'm looking forward to the full report in the morning and hope it's all good news for our Flynn when I get back here tomorrow....or rather later today. :D

When you get to talk to the surgeon, tell him thanks for taking good care of our boy from Flynn's K9C family.

Hubs said we really need to go to bed as it's 1:30am and we both have to work tomorrow.

I'll check back in a few hours when I wake up. Hope things remain good and Flynn is waking up after having a restful night. Trish I hope you can grab a few winks too.

hugs,
Sharlene and Molly Muffin
