Special thoughts and prayers for YorkieTalkjilly

[Verbena]

I am so glad that your surgery went extremely well. I a, also glad that Tibbe is doing a little better. Good thoughts and blessings to you both

[lisaly]

I'm still thinking about and praying for your back pain to subside and for your special little boy to be fully well. I also am praying that your next two surgeries on your right eye go as wonderfully as this one on your left eye.

[Doodlebug]

Jeanie I am so happy that your surgery went so well and you can see so great! I love how you described the vision in your "new" eye. That is so incredible! I pray that Tibbe continues to feel better. Hugs... Jean

It was mostly his canned hepatic, a few pieces of soaked Hill's I/D GI kibble and lots of water to help hydrate him. He reverse sneezed some when he first started eating but might have been from lapping the soupy mixture so fast. I made him stop after 1/2 and we waited about 25 mins. and then he ate the rest. So far, he's keeping it down. Not terribly frisky this morning but he often sleeps in or sleeps a good portion of the morning. I cancelled his vet appt. this am for an on-demand appt. if he gets sick again due to needing to deal with this back and staying down.

He did eat two pieces of corn off the floor when I spilled a bowl and licked a bit of milk I allowed him to have - like 1/4 teaspoon - both about mid-week. Could those two things have caused this, I wonder? Those are the first times he's ever had anything but his half-hepatic/half-Hill's I/D GI diet since his diagnosis of prob. MVD this spring and he subsequently gets sick. I'm tending to think they are connected so no more adventuring of anything else!

I wish the world could see as well as I'm seeing this morning! I had no idea my vision had gotten so bad and how slowly it must have happened. I thought my TV had gone bad it was so pale, couldn't hardly read books or internet and light reflected badly. This morning everything is in super HD, brilliant, jewel-toned and crisp-edged, finely detailed! Never knew the world was so beautiful. Even after cataract surgery with lens implants, it wasn't like this!!!!!!!!!! Everything is like a movie on the theater screen - so bright and intense and contrasting. Before, everything looked pale and not very clear. Downside: My house is dirty! I haven't been cleaning all that well as I couldn't see things that clearly! Ugh! And Oh, I'm way older looking in the mirror than yesterday before surgery! Upside: Everything else looks 3-D and beautiful. Tibbe is gorgeous! His eyes are deep brown and liquid and true. His fur is multi-colored and rich looking. And he's cute cute cute in all his features! I can even see his toenails from the end of the couch where he's sleeping! The backyard looks so pretty and green. I was watching a cooking TV show in HD a while ago and could see such detail it was just amazing it made me so hungry. Even could see the flour granules dusted along the edges! And that's just with one eye essentially as the right is legally blind and only has mainly peripheral vision with little undamaged macula and it's got the cloudy posterior capsule problem also. My surgery to correct it's capsule cloudiness will be in two weeks! Then the muscle-correction surgery on it a few weeks later and I won't see double as much, hopefully, and will have better depth perception. I really wish everyone could see like this - but, maybe you all can and it is just some of us that weren't able to!!! And I wonder if my vision will stay like this? I wish with all my heart it would. It would be so wonderful to get to see like this all the time. Even reading books may be possible again once the double vision is corrected more. Words jump off the page today whereas just yesterday morning the ink looked gray and pale, fuzzy. Now words are bright, distinct and easy to read if I didn't see a second of each word just a little above and to the right which is a little distracting(haha). Well, maybe that can get fixed too and I can see extra great before too long, even with that bad right eye macula. YT looks bright, crisp and easy to read. I'ts almost too bright! Never thought I'd say that but no real pale glare like I used to have! Wow. Modern medicine and praying people are an amazing combination. Thank you all for your prayers and caring and I'm so humbled and grateful can't even say how great this eye is!!! Now, if Tibbe will go ahead and get better - things will be amazingly fantastic.

Wow, you have me boohooing big time...Jeanie I love you and I am very happy for you...in 2007 I had eye surgery because I was going blind and had much the same response as you...I am still super amazed at COLOR...how different it still looks, like you the paleness of everything was so bad that after I had the surgery I was in awe of what I was missing....I still rejoice every single day and never miss an opportunity to tell people to GET TO A SPECIALIST AND GET THEM EYES TAKEN CARE OF!

The one thing I don't miss at all is the over $3000 a year I was spending on glasses because of the constant changing of my vision I was having to get new glasses every four months!

Anyway congrats and enjoy this...and it gets even better after a week or two!!! Woohoo!!!!!

I'm so very happy to hear how well your surgery went, thanks to your surgeon's expertise and all the YT prayers. Now if Tibbe will just follow suit and feel 100% better. I'm thinking he was feeding off your anxiety and made himself sick. Now that things are looking up for you I hope he will be back to acting like himself again. I will keep you both close in my heart and deep in my prayers.

[Wylie's Mom]

Dropping off some good thoughts and healing energy !

[dawn27]

Still been thinking of you and Tibbe.... Looks like you are discovering lots of new things with your new found vision !!

I am hoping that Tibbe does better soon.

Poor little Tibbe threw up bile again this morning twice an hour apart so he's spending the day at the vet. They are giving him an injection of Cerenia, observing him all day. For now, he's avoiding food but frisky, playful and alert, barking, so the doc will watch him rest of the day and send him home tonight with Cerenia pills until he gets through this episode. If he has another episode soon, we'll do more bloodwork but for now, she's thinking it's possibly a reaction to the two kernels of corn with tad of milk that splashed on the floor when I was making soup; or just his liver acting up a bit and not connected to the corn/milk. Everything else looks good physically, she says, and with a history of a normal weekend and even eating dinner last night, she's thinking it's a flare-up of his liver - at least that's what his "nurse" said on the phone when I checked on him at noon. I won't see the vet until tonight when I pick him up. I sure hope and pray this is just a flare and his tummy will settle down. Poor baby Tibbe!

[EarthAngel]

I'm glad to hear how well your surgery went!! Praying Tibbe shows lots of improvement with the meds!

[lisaly]

Poor little angel. I pray that sweet Tibbe gets better soon. I know you will do everything within your power to make sure of it.

[Sammy Mommy]

I hope your sweet Tibbe is feeling better. Sending hugs to both of you!

[wemple2]

Checking in for an update, how's your little guy doing tonight? My continued prayers for a speedy recovery, so the two of you can relax a bit.

[Teddysmom76]

I'm so happy that both you and sweet Tibbe are feeling better I can't even imagine how thrilling it must be to have you sight be so sharp and clear now!
