| How is Newman? Wondering how Newman is tonight, and if the testing was completed. Warmly, Deborah

| Newman Update. Hi everyone. Thanks for all the concern. We are on our way to the hospital in about 10 minutes for the ultra sound and chest x ray. This is really dragging out. Nothing I can do. Our vet waits until he has a few getting ultra sounds then calls the girl out to do them. RIDICULOUS, especially when I'm paying $500 for it AND 1/2 day hospital stay (Which is really ticking me off) because they schedule them one after another and they want the dog left there so I guess it makes it easier - like an assembly line. Sorry, I'm just getting testy lately. I just want this done now. Newman, had a bad weekend and I ended up giving him one of Jersey's pain pills that she was given last week after her spaying. She's doing GREAT. No pain. Would not even know it was done. I'm pushing for him to do this this week, but they tell me it will take a couple of days for the ultra sound results. Another that sounds ridiculous to me, but i'm going to speak to the doctor this morning and push him to get the results asap and do the surgery this week. Thanks again and I'll keep everyone posted. |

Donating YT 500 Club Member | That sounds incredibly frustrating. Even the best of vets seem to be able to detach themselves a bit too much sometimes.Try not to let it drag you down too much. These little guys feel our emotions so acutely … Glad to hear that all has gone well with Jersey. You certainly deserve a break somewhere! Thoughts and prayers continue for you and your Newman for the best possible outcome. |

| Thanks for the update, Elaine. Remember, "this too shall pass" and recognize that you are in "fear - flight" mode. Sounds like the right decision to give him a pain pill because he doesn't need to suffer. Look forward to another post and try to remain "centered". This is scary for you - Deborah

| Still Waiting. Well, we brought Newman in for 8am this morning. He was scheduled for his ultra sound for 10:30 am. When we first got there they told me to come back at 4pm to pick him up and I said "Whoa, 4pm. Why so long. He's scheduled for an ultra sound at 10:30." I then told them that as it is I find it ridiculous that I have to get him here at 8am and leave him with you in a cage until 10:30, so I spoke to the doctor and he agreed that he'd be ready for pick up by noon. Well, it's now 11:30 am and guess what? He's not yet done. The Ultra sound tech JUST GOT THERE and there are a few to do. I'm sorry I'm venting right now but I am just so frustrated. I mean with the amount of money being paid ($500) for an ultra sound, you would think that the tech doing it would arrive on time. I hate him being in the cage so long un necessarily. He does not do well being caged, especially in a strange place. Also, the doctor did say that his intentions were to do Newman's surgery this week, and I am grateful for that at least so he is not suffering longer then necessary. Elaine |

| Oh, poor Newman I agree with you 100%. Why cage him for that length of time? I'm glad the surgery will be done this week. The sooner it's done the sooner he can start recuperating. Hang in there Elaine. I'm still praying for Newman and you.

| Aw, poor little guy and poor mommy. I'd be upset too. Why do they do those things?! I just don't understand. But I'm glad he'll be having his surgery soon. Here's a hug for you! |

| Back From Ultra Sound. Hi all. We are back from picking Newman up from his ultra sound and chest x ray. The doc. put a rush in for the results and as of right now, we are shooting for a Friday surgery "IF" his ultra sound results came back clear. I'm keeping positive thougts that it is clear since, his blood came back good and his pathology report showed no cancer in the lymph nodes. I'm very very anxious to have this done and very worried at the same time. Hubby is concerned having the surgery done on a Friday as he's afraid that he won't get as good a care over the weekend, but I'm comfortable with it I think or atleast I'm trying to be. The docs. are around most of Saturday and part of Sunday and I'm sure they just dont' shut the doors and leave them unattended (At least I hope) but I will ask these questions prior to Friday. If he's done Friday, he'll spend about two days in the hospital and then come home to us, which will work out well as I'd like him home for a few days with us before having to leave him for hours. I don't work. I'm home all day with him, but both my boys have tournaments the 24, 25, 26 and 27. Local thankfully so I can check on him, but we'll be gond that Saturday starting with my oldest having an 8am bb game and then my youngest a 10:45, then a 5:30 then my oldest having another at 6:30 that night and then two games on that Sunday. Anyway, thank you all again from bottom of my heart for all your support. Both Newman and I thank you. Elaine and Newman. |

| Thanks for the update. I would question who checks on Newman on Sunday, how often, etc. if surgery is completed on Friday. Would you be able to visit him? This is such a stressful time for you and your family. Take care, Deborah
