Sprite is adorable! Praying for her and you that all goes well tomorrow. |
Keeping Sprite in my thoughts and prayers... |
Good luck today! Hope all goes well! Update when you can. |
Prayers and lots of best wishes for your sweet baby and yourselves. I have a son with severe seizures and we have been through multiple brain surgeries and medications. Once the shunt is in place, your baby's brain pressure should be relieved, and the seizures should begin to subside. I am so excited for Sprite. A healthy and promising future is right around the corner. You're an awesome pet mommy, and a wonderful advocate for her. She is so blessed to have you. |
Prayers for Sprite today! |
The neurologist just called and Sprite is coming out of the anesthetic and is up and walking in her crate :) she did have some bleeding right at the start so they had to get that stopped before they could continue. They got it controlled and the rest of the surgery went well and took about two hours (plus the extra wait for the bleeding to stop). Apparently her head is really tiny so the shunt is a little big, but they made everything work. She'll be in intensive care at least tonight and tomorrow, and could possibly come home tomorrow night at the very earliest...but it's too soon to know right now. She'll be on antibiotics and crate rest for at least a couple of weeks until she's healed. I'm very relieved she's made it through so far. The neurologist is going to send me a short video of her for comfort. And now I'm going to take a deep breathe....I feel like I've been holding it all day! |
I'm glad to hear the update! |
I am very happy to read your positive update! Continuing to pray for Sprite. She has a great mom, a very strong mom. :) |
Excellent news! Now to bring her home for her recovery! I'm so happy she is doing well. |
SO happy to hear that all went well. Hope you can get some rest tonight... Prayers for a speedy recovery for Sprite. |
Thank you for the update. I've been checking in. Prayers are still being said for your sweet little Sprite. I'm going to keep believing that she gets to come home soon, and that she has a speedy, eventful-free recovery. Sprite, welcome to the first day of the rest of your new, HEALTHY life! |

Awwww she is adorable!! :) |
Guess who's coming home today! I just spoke to the doctor and Sprite is doing amazing :) All her neurological signs are normal, she's eating well and is not showing any stress. Apparently everyone's in love with her. We meet with the patient care specialist for all our instructions first and then bring her home late this afternoon. I'm a little nervous but we've been through spinal surgery with our cocker spaniel so I'm sure we can manage this too. Wish us luck! |
How is Sprite doing? |
Oops I posted before seeing your update! I'm so happy for Sprite and you! |
