Tomorrow morning (Monday) we go back out of town to have Tatum's sutures removed and to have her first "official" session of Physical Therapy with her Physical Therapist. Please say a little prayer that all goes well and that her surgeon thinks that her little knees look good

I have no idea yet if they are going to do more x-rays tomorrow....but I know that within the next couple of weeks we will have to go back to have more x-rays done for sure. I just hope that when they remove her sutures, she is not in any pain

I accidentally touched them and she jumped 10 feet!

I am hoping that PT goes well also. Oh, and I will be asking her surgeon about that open wound on her back as well

Her surgeon gave me a Tranquilizer/Sedative to give her (Acepromazine) for tomorrows trip because she gets sooo worked up and upset while in the car. We just couldn't make another trip out of town without giving her something to help calm her down since she literally almost hyperventilates in the car

All she does is CRY, yawn over and over again, and her little tongue hangs out. It just isn't good at all. So hopefully the tranquilizer will help to calm her down. - Praying about that too, lol!

I'm 99% sure that she isn't going to want to eat her kibble in the car, so I already went ahead and boiled some chicken legs today so that we can take them with us tomorrow. I am also bringing some carrots (her favorite!) and green beans. We will take an ice chest with us to keep everything cold. Just for her

What can I say....she is like, BEYOND spoiled rotten. lol.

Anyway, not sure if I will be able to log on tomorrow or not. I can do it from my Blackberry, but I will probably just wait until we get home before I do an update (it may not be until Tuesday though, depending on when we get back tomorrow and how tired we are). If it is something serious though, I will have Denise (love ya girl LOL) do an update for me and let everyone know what is going on - but hopefully that won't happen!!

We have to leave early, early, early in the morning and I still have some things that I need to get together so I will talk to you guys later....love you all, LOTS!
