Well I got to talk with a nurse from UT she is very nice and very helpful, she is actually progressing from nursing to becoming a surgical vet at UT. I talked with her for about 1/2 hour. she had me faxed charlies labs and records to look over along with questions that I had. She said it is possible that Charlie has a shunt but that his labs do not scream that at her. She is taking Charlies records to discuss with an internist there at UT and then getting back with me on their opinion and with information I will need for my visit with the local specialist which, by the way, got moved back to the 23rd.
It seems that they scheduled my appt on the 11th with a surgeon, when they were going over Charlies records the surgeon said that I needed to schedule a visit with an internal medicine Dr first (which is what I though I had done) They said they have gone over Charlies records all the way back to 2010 when they saw him for pancreatitis and they too say this doesnt scream shunt but that it is possible.
So for now, Charlies is doing fine, eating drinking (even tried and likes cottage cheese
) and going potty well. so I will keep updating as I get more information.
BTW thank you to all of you who are praying for Charlie and offering your support. It means allot to me and Charlie.
