Annie was out of surgery about one and visited with the surgeon. He was pleased with how everything went but reminded us that the real work was just beginning. We are now on guard for the next 72 hours. He was very glad that we got her here when we did. Evidently. Her little gallbladder had ballooned to the size of a small grapefruit and could have burst at any time.
We were able to go back into the ICU right away and she was already starting to regain her bearings. She has a special warmer in her cage, a feeding tube so they can get groceries in her as soon as they feel she’s ready. She recognized my voice and looked up at me. Tears of joy have been flowing all afternoon! We just gave her a quick pat on the head and then got out of everybody’s way so the techs could do their job. I ‘ve never seen that many people fuss over a pup. There had to be six people assigned to her at that time. We will have to mortgage the 4 grandkids to pay for this one but knowing that we were able give her a new lease on life was worth every penny. The alternative was not acceptable.
That’s the update. We’ll stay over one more night, go home late tomorrow and come back for the day on Sunday. Blessings to you all and your pups. Karen
