WHEW... We did it!
 

The surgeon called me and he said she did an excellent job. She was waking up quickly from anesthesia when he called.

We have NO SHUNT!!!!! Finally a defiant answer! He said he was surprised because of the numbers her bloodwork/bile acids were pulling. He said it looked really good as well.

They Biopsied her small intestine and her liver and that was sent off for results. I am not sure when I will get results, my guess it will be within the next 24 hours. This part I am nervous about. They are trying to not only rule out IBD but Lymphangiectasia as well as PLE. I am nervous for that... I know Ladyjane has experience with those diseases and I am sure I will be contacting her if she does. However... on the plus side. Her bloodwork has never once hinted at protein levels dropping of any kind.. so I am hoping that will be a plus for us.

Thank you ALL so much for your thoughts, well wishes and prayers. We can feel them and I know it is benefiting our outcome. We LOVE you all!! Now to pray for some good results from her biopsy.

I did contact Dr. Remillard right before this entire thing happened and I ended up canceling it because she ended up in the doggy ICU and I wasn't sure what direction we would be taking.. As SOON as I know I will be putting that plan back in motion. Heaven knows she needs a nutritionist.

Again a BIG THANK YOU to you all! I truly needed my YT family through all of this. You make me a better mom to Taycie and I am so glad to be apart of such a great forum.

I forgot to add she will stay through the night and if all goes well she will come home tomorrow. I am going to visit her after work tonight. I can not wait to kiss my little pumpkin head:)

Emily, I am so happy to read Taycie is out of surgery and that there is no shunt!! Praying that the tests will return great news too.


{{{{{hugs to you and Taycie}}}}}

So happy to hear that surgery went well...I just knew Taycie would pull through...what a little fighter she is! She and you are blessed to have each other...prayers continue that the test results come back soon so you all can move forward with a treatment plan for her. ((HUGGZZ))

So wonderful to hear she is out of surgery and happy there is no shunt. Will continue to keep Taycie in my prayers for good results from the tests.

Great news!

BTW I'm pretty sure Dr R has extensive experience in PLE and the other differentials.

I am glad that the surgery went well. I hope she has good test results. Good thoughts and hugs go out to you both

I am glad to hear Taycie did well! Blessings to you and her!

That's good. I'm looking forward to finally being able to get that going

I'm glad to hear that Taycie did well :D I bet you are so excited to get to see her!

So happy to hear that all went well! :)

Prayers answered. Wonderful news that Taycie is awake and no shunt. Now if they just won't find anything else too bad but hopefully something that can be treated so she can feel better - that would be ideal. Give Taycie an extra kiss from us!

So glad to hear that taycie's is doing so well and no liver shunt

Great news so far, yay Taycie!!!! Praying for good biopsy results:hands: I've been thinking of your beautiful little girl all day long:love:
