Prayers Needed For Odie - YorkieTalk.com Forums

mollyollie · 06-28-2009, 01:11 PM

Hi everyone. I need some special prayers for Odie. I finally made the decision to get his teeth cleaned on Friday & in the process the vet found a tumor. It apparently is in his jaw and extends pretty far back and the vet said that it was inoperable. I totally broke down when I heard this and I'm not sure what else he said. But John and I did want him to send in the biopsy because I am not giving up hope that he might be wrong. We will get the results on Tuesday. Odie looks so good & acts just the same as he always has and it is so hard to believe that something so awful is growing in him. John and I are beside ourselves with worry over him. We have only had our precious baby for three years when he was five and needed a new home because his previous owner could no longer take care of him. He is always with me where ever I go in the house and when I sit down he is right there on my lap. I am trying to hold myself together but there are times when the tears won't stop.

Please say some prayers for him that by some miracle the tumor is not cancer and that somehow they will be able to help him. And pray for John and I too. John just lost his twin brother in October of last year, and then our precious Molly died and now this with little Odie. He is eating very well and he is drinking and like I said he is acting the same. Thank you all so much in advance. Our Olive doesn't have a clue as to what is going on and still tries to torment Odie as usual. Helen, Odie & Oliver's Mom

Prayers going out to you and little Odie! Everytime I hear something like this it breaks my heart! It also scares me to think my baby could have problems at any given moment and feels like waiting for "the bomb to drop". Love and blessings to you and your family sweetie!

Keeping you and Odie in our Thoughts and Prayers

Odie's in our thoughts and prayers.

Hi everyone and thank you, thank you so much for all your prayers for Odie.
The biopsy is in but John and I have made an appointment to see Odie's vet on Thursday morning. If it is really bad news I don't want to hear it over the phone and we have so many questions, so we have one more day to go. Keep the prayers coming. I so believe in the power of prayer and in miracles. Please Lord give Odie a miracle. I'll post as soon as I can. It is so wonderful being able to talk with all of you who so understand what we are going through. And Oliver seems to sense what is going on, he isn't pestering Odie as much and every once in awhile he goes up to him & it looks as if he is giving him a kiss. Odie continues to eat, drink and play, so that in itself is good. Talk to you all later. God bless each and everyone of you and your own precious babies. Love, Helen, Odie & Oliver's Mom

Late last night Odie started having some major problems. We could feel that the tumor was getting bigger & spreading. He would not play with his toy and was very restless. He finally fell asleep beside me but this morning when he woke up he started pawing at the side of his face and his little head would jerk to the side and the worse thing was that each time he cried out in pain. Right before we left for the vet he climbed up on my lap where he would always be when I was sitting in my chair & my heart was breaking. We had the appointment with his vet and we tried to prepare ourselves as to what was to come, but how does one ever prepare? The doctor told us the biopsy showed malignant melenoma. Where the tumor was located, the way it had spread in only a weeks time and that he was now in pain, we knew that we could not let our precious little baby suffer one more minute. We spent some time with him alone and then I held him in my arms until he went to heaven to be with Molly, Muffy, Trixie and Mitzie and I know that he will be waiting for me and John.

The pain in our hearts is monumental. I can't seem to stop crying but I know that my baby is at peace and he will not be in any more pain and from what the doctor said it would only have gotten way worse.

Thank you all so very much for all of your prayers. Please pray for John and I. I know that we will get through this because we have had to go through it so many times before, but it isn't any easier. Thank God we still have our Oliver. Sorry if I'm rambling. Thank you again for your prayers. Good-bye my precious baby, I will carry you in my heart forever. Rest in Peace.
Thanks for listing.

Helen, Odie's Heartbroken Mom

I am so very sorry for your loss. It sounds like Odie was a well loved little boy who had a wonderful life with you and your husband. He is pain-free now, playing with all the energy of a pup. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. RIP Odie.

Shayla My Baby · 07-02-2009, 11:45 AM

Helen, I am so very, very sorry that your little baby died. I know he is not in pain anymore but I also know you have a great big hole in your heart right now. I just can't stop crying. They are so innocent and so full of love and trust. I will be praying a special prayer for you and John. I hope each day will get easier for you and just remember you are in God's hands and so is Odie.

Love, Sandra and Shayla

Rest, little Odie, rest.
