I'm so happy Tatum is eating! Get the baby food anyway though cause you never know when she will decide to refuse her potatoes!
Hope your grocery shopping expedition helps clear your cabin fever!

Yeah, what is it with little sisters huh? LOL. :p And what the heck is it with all these women cheating on their husbands!!! :( :mad: I know about 4 different women who are doing that exact thing right now (their husbands are all decent guys!)...and it disgusts me! :thumbdown It seems as though alot of times it was the other way around....the men were *usually* the ones that were out playing the field :rolleyes: but WOW, there must be something in the water with women messing around these days. It's so sad. And by the way...I am soo sorry to hear that your brothers went through the same thing. It really is just so devastating...

Yep, the little munchkin is gobblin' down her food! :D I am soooo relieved! I didn't make it to the store last night....was just wayyyy too tired to go grocery shopping after Idol was over LOL....but I am going to try to get there either tonight or tomorrow night and will for sure be picking up some baby food (just incase) for the little Miss ;)

I know when Mickey had both his surgery the vet sent us home with small cans of a/d food its a prescription food but its really good to mix with a little water and syringe into their mouth when they refuse to eat. we also gave Minnie this. so if she ends up not wanting to eat again you might ask your vet about this food. I hope your little one heals quickly and I pray that both her legs are 100% better. please try not to stress about every thing they can pick up on that. I know easier said then done. hugs Hun.

Thanks so much for your tips! :) I *try* not to stress...but I am not one that handles stress well to begin with (as I'm sure most of you probably know by now....LOL) and when there is *so* much going on in your life, it's hard not to. I know they pick up on it though, our babies are very sensitive. Thank goodness today is a better day :D

Awww girl, you are such a sweetie. How is Ranger doing today? I am going to go and check his thread :) I hope he is doing well and is recovering nicely so far! Give him gentle little hugs for me and Tator Bug - we love him! :hug:

So glad to hear Tatum is eating. I can't imagine saying "no" to that tiny face with that heart shaped nose staring back at me. I would let her eat candy all day if she wanted it!:D

1 week post-op update!
 
Well.....it has already been exactly ONE WEEK since Tator Bug's surgery! Part of me feels like it crept by so slowly, while the other part of me feels like this last week has just flown by!

As of today, Tatum is doing GREAT! :D She is eating her kibble now and is drinking water on her own....lets just pray that she keeps it up! :thumbup: She is still holding her left leg up when she runs (or, picks up speed rather...it's not much of a "run", yet...lol) - but it's great progress compared to a week ago when she was doing nothing but limping on it constantly. *Every now and then* she will do her little "bunny hop :p" even when walking on the left leg, but I think it is basically just out of habit. She has been hopping and limping on that left leg for so long and she has just gotten accustomed to it. I hope and pray that things will change and that she will gradually start to use it 100% of the time, both when walking AND running, but only time will tell.

I tricked the Little Missy this morning and gave her Raw - but I only did this to hide her meds in. She didn't even know that her meds were in there, and she gobbled it all up :p Mommies can be tricky too sometimes! ;)

So, that's the update for now. She is doing well and is on the mend! :thumbup: YAY TATOR!! :cheer: Of course, we still have to go back in a couple of weeks for more x-rays to check and see if the pins are still intact, but I am PRAYING for good news there. Her stitches are starting to itch her (actually they have been itching her for a while now) so that is a good sign that she is healing :) Wooohoooo!! I couldn't be more thrilled :D

:) Thanks so much for the update. I am so glad she is eating now. I pray she continues to improve. I know you have been worried to death about her as we all have been. We were ready for some good news.

Awww thanks girl! She is doing GREAT! :D I just took her out to potty and she pee'd and then decided that she wanted to lay outside for a little while and sunbathe :rolleyes: LOL. She cracks me up! :p I am just so proud that the little stinker is doing so well! :happyboun

BonBon 04-09-2009 02:38 PM

Sunbathing?!?! She's just had major surgery!! I am so happy she's feeling this good and eating so well. I've gotten so attached to her following her LP thread. :rolleyes:

Anyway, I just making one last round of the LP group today. Hope you all have a peaceful evening!

Yes she did, but that doesn't stop the little Diva Princess from getting her TAN!!!! :cool: :D lolol!!!

You are sooo sweet girl...it is so nice that you stop to check in on her, I appreciate it so much! :hug: Big hugs to you!

Zanders' mom 04-09-2009 03:23 PM

I'm sooo happy to read about Tators progress! yaayyyy!! Awesome. I wonder if swim therapy would benefit her left leg. I wish her the best, one week down a few more to go to full recovery. woohooo! :D

Zanders' mom 04-09-2009 03:30 PM

Umm, Joel Olstein explained this cheating on Larry King one night...
he mentioned that "shows" like desperate housewives, soaps and similar stuff showing on tv, portrays women hoppin from one man, one bed to another.... perhaps causing some women to be desensitized to infidelity.


Hmm... It seems to be part of the problem. Just sharing...

Thanks so much girl! :D I am hoping that water therapy is available with Sandra Hudson....we will find out on Monday! :)

I can't wait until she is fully healed and back to her normal little self! I am counting down the days! :D

You know, that makes SO much sense. I love Joel Osteen...he is amazing! He has been here before and we went to see him (his wife Victoria's brother is one of the Pastor's at our church here), and we have also been to his church. What an experience! :)

Some of the T.V. shows these days are just terrible...I don't watch most of them because of all the "crap" that's in them :rolleyes:
