| Another Update: Newman and Jersey. Hi guys. I'm feeling much better today. I think I was having a small break down yesterday. LOL. We got some good news today. Newman's Lymph Node Pathology Report came back today and his Lymph Nodes are clean. THANK GOD. So now we will procede with the next step and have his ultra sound done and his chest x ray. We were able to speak with the doctor today to try to make sense and get a clear answer as to how much we are looking at total and he assured us that it would be no more then the $2000 (Including the pre-op tests etc) for Newman's surgery. Originally we had been told $1500 just for the surgery and then the pre-op tests etc. which would bring us to no more then $2,000 but the pre-op tests were getting higher and higher and we were up to almost $1000 without the surgery. Our doctor is doing the surgery itself for $1000.00 which I know (Although he didn't say it) is giving us a break of about $500. Now Jersey's update. She was spayed this morning and seems to be doing well. She threw up a little tonight and is very tired but doesn't seem to be in pain. Just sleepy. Miss Tia is very happy to have her sister home. We brought her with us to pick Jersey up and Jersey just kissed and kissed her as did Tia Jersey. Let's just stay they were very happy to see each other I also got a bit of a break with the cost too. Originally it was supposed to be $410 to spay her and in the end he knocked it down to a total of $350.00. Thanks everyone for your wonderful notes and good wishes. Please, continue to keep my Newman in your thoughts. Your support has meant a lot to me. Elaine |

| Newman and Jersey Oh, that is great news about Newman, and the fact that his lymph nodes are clear is a huge bonus. I had a soft buster collar for Charlie, and it was so much nicer than the hard plastic to keep him from licking his sutures. Everything is okay, Elaine and I had several breakdowns over Sophie, and another in front of the dental surgeon over Charlie. Not to worry, you love them and this is very stressful. Bless you and your sweet kids. Warmly, Deborah

| Deborah. Deborah. Thank you so much for all your warm notes and wishes. You have been so supportive and I really appreciate it. We actually have Jersey in a onsie. LOL. I have to take a picture of her in it. We got her 0-3 months and I think I should have gotten her newborn as she slid right out of it. Ha ha. She has not gone after her stitches as of yet (knock on wood). Our doctor actually does not believe in the cones at all, unless he absolutely needs to put one on. He is the one that suggested the Onsie. She's sleeping now and does not seem to be in pain. She had a cookie just a little bit ago. I think she's just hung over from the all the drugs. Thank you again. I can't say enough how wonderful everyone has been. This is just such a great site and place to be and I'm happy to be a member here. Elaine |

Donating YT 500 Club Member | Can you hear me cheering? I haven't been able to get on much lately, but this is one of a handful of threads I've been trying to follow. I was so glad to see this when I logged on tonight. I know how tough this has been and I have a good idea of how tough it will be once it's done. But ... you now have something to hope for. We can live without many things in life for an extended period of time. Food, water, even love. But hope ... we must have that! I am so glad you do. Thoughts and prayers continue for all of you. |

| Thanks again everyone. Jersey is back to her devilish self. LOL. I'm supposed to keep her quiet until the 22nd. when she goes back for her post op check and stitch removal but it's almost impossible. You wouldn't know she had surgery only two days ago. Our doctor called today about Newman. He is waiting for the person that will be coming to do his ultra sound. We figure that his chest x ray and ultra sound will be done prob. Tuesday or Wed. If everything is alright then Newman will go ahead and have his amputation. That probably won't take place until the following week as I really don't want him operated on at the end of the week then not have a vet around on the weekend. I like Monday operations if they need to be done, this way someone is there all week if I need them. Anyway, I'll keep everyone posted. Thanks again everyone. Elaine |
