Was just wondering how your baby is today? I hope hes improving. Keeping him in my prayers.

He's in my prayers as well. I hope you know we would still love to hear from you about his progress.

It took me about an hour to go through the posts in general yorkie discussions....tahoe2005...I hope you will update us on your baby's progress and condition. There are a lot of YT members here who are praying for your baby. Tia and I wish you both the very best and you are in my prayers.:hands:

Sending prayers for continued improvement for little Tahoe, bless his heart.

We also hope little Tahoe will improve daily. Poor baby dosen't derserve
to be crippled. Prayer's coming for him to get the help he needs and for
his mommy to make it happen.

Thank you so much for posting this. :)

This Specialist is right up the road from my work, so after work today, I will go up to the Hospital and give my support for Tahoe!

Dear God,
I hope we can make it possible for Tahoe to get this much needed surgery.

:hands: :hands: :hands: :hands: :hands:

TLC

Can you come back and give us an update first hand??

Sure! I was going to call and just have them fax me the form for my credit card. But, I figured since it is right up the road that I might as well stop in.

I have been with this story from Day 1. I know for a fact that it is all true, poor Tahoe is living this nightmare is just so sad. He is so young and doesn't deserve to be paralized his whole life or even worse :(

I am nervous though about stopping in. I am very emotionaly with this story and ontop of it all today I just got my 'girly friend' ;) ---- So hopefully, I won't break down :rolleyes: But I will try to get more info (if that's possible), I mean the above post pretty much tells us everything that is know as of right now!

If anyone has anything they want me to ask, please let me know before 5pm today. :thumbup:

I've been right in the thick of this too - kinda got slapped on the hands and called a few names but I want Tahoe healthy. I do have questions - what happens if enough money isnt raised? AND Tahoe's mom stated she was turned down for the care credit but I was under the impression they would finance anyone. Can someone clear that up since I'm confused about that. I don't need to know personal stuff just help me understand the care credit process.

I don't know for sure, but someone else posted that not everyone gets approved for Care Credit. I will ask how that works when I go to the hospital.

WOW thank you for the update I did send a Email to her and I had not heard back :( I really hope all is well. I am still praying for tahoe everyday.

Hi Everyone,
As for Carecredit. No they do not except everyone. I tried when Babybear broke his neck from AAI( ATlantoaxial Instability). I got denied. I was crushed. My daughter tried she had just bought a house and had very good credit and she got denied. My mom tried and the same with her. And she owes nothing on her home. So last resort I tried my husband and they did approve the card for him. Thank god. Still paying for that little guy though.
Now as for any left over money. It will be put towards his surgery because we will have to also raise money for that. The money right now is being raised for the MRI. The hospital will not take over the amount needed for the MRI and surgery. Please be assured your help will not be taken and used for something else. The amount for the MRI is 1500.00 and that comes off the total cost of the surgery also. The total cost of the surgery and MRI is 5000.00. But in order for her to get any help from any organization she needs the actual diagnoses which that is what the MRI is for.
I am one of the monitors from that group and didn't know if i could cross post here so that is why i did not. Sorry.
Last update I got was that he was not improving anymore. And he has lost feeling in one leg/paw. So this needs to be done ASAP.
Thank your all in advance for all you thoughts,prayers and help. I will try and keep everyone Updated on him. My heart breaks for him dearly, because this sounds just like what happened to my little guy and he still is not walking. So the faster we can get the tests done on Tahoe the better off we are.

Yorkie in trouble
 

I hope this is legal to do .... i am not sure ...
I just got this from an other Yorkie group ...
thought you might be interested ... I know itz against YORKIETALK'S policy, so i am NOT saying donate, but i am saying that this pup (Tahoe) is in trouble ...:cry:

Take a look here too! :)

I wish that all of the people on YT that have a store would donate one item and give the proceeds to the Tahoe fund. Maybe a thread can be started and all of the caring people here can put the donated items into a store of sorts for people to purchase the items. Does that sound like an idea that would work?

Oh i think that would be a great Idea. I would crochet a dress for that sale. I will give measurements and all. Just let me know what to do and I will pay for shipping also. If someone can start it I will do it. Again what a great idea.

Maybe we should call it a gift to help out, not a donation. Dont want this thread closed because an incorrect term was used.
