Sammy has multiple neuro issues.... - Page 5 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

ladyjane · 06-14-2012, 05:31 AM

The surgeon just called me to ask if it was ok to do a colopexy on Sammy which I am thrilled about because that would be the next problem for this poor little guy. They will be attaching the colon to the abdominal wall.
He said the surgery will be around 11AM or 12PM and that it takes about an hour; so they will probably call me around 2PM.
Now I can go about taking care of things that I need to do before I start the worrying thing.

EXCELLENT!! Dont you just love it when the docs there know what needs to be done, know how best to do it, and then get it done, usually with excellent results! Keep us posted!

Yep, they are awesome! I have always had good results there...I hate the drive, but worth it.
This will hopefully prevent a later issue with the colon slipping into the colon.

Praying for both you and Sammy! I know it has to be stressful waiting to hear, but I'm hoping and praying that all goes even better than expected! Texas A&M sounds amazing!

Prayers for Sammy! Hoping for a successful surgery.

DBlain · 06-14-2012, 10:27 AM

thinking about Sammy, I would think it would be hard for you to concentrate on anything else

ladyjane · 06-14-2012, 11:23 AM

Sammy is in recovery and doing well. The surgery went well without any complications. Right now he is sleeping and she said very groggy from medications. She will call me later this evening with an update!

bijoux1 · 06-14-2012, 11:29 AM

That is wonderful news!!

I'm so glad the surgery went well!! I know you have to be relieved!! I will continue to keep Sammy in my thoughts and prayers during his hopefully speedy recovery!!

ladyjane · 06-14-2012, 11:36 AM

I will be happier later when I can make sure that he can still walk. I am sure he will be able to, but until I know for sure I will be concerned. The AAI scares me.

ladyjane · 06-14-2012, 03:58 PM
