Ditto. All is in God's Hands now. Praying for good results across the board. And praying for some Peace for Tena, as many of us know the pain and confusion in her heart right now. Praying so hard that God will choose to allow you more time with Zhoie, hopefully a lifetime. In my prayers, always....

Sorry that Zhoie and you are going through all of this and that it is happening so quickly. I am glad that she is at the hospital and that she will be getting the best care available. Hopefully you will know soon if surgery is possible. Saying prayers for Zhoie and for you for a good outcome and some peace. Hugs to you both.

I am just now seeing this thread - tears in my eyes for you and Zhoie; I know how much you love her.

Prayers going out for a successful surgery.

Just spoke with Tena. She and her husband visited with Zhoie today. She sounds very relaxed about all of this and confident with the facility. The resident explained everything in detail.

OK...here is what I know as it was explained to me. They will be doing a flouroscopy tomorrow to get a better idea about the stability of Zhoie's neck....they will be able to visualize the ligaments there and see if they are intact. The 1st and 2nd vertebra of the neck are stabilized by the dens and ligaments. They are not seeing a dens which would indicate that this is congenital. They want to see whether or not the ligaments are stabilizing those vertebra. They need to know if there is a separation when Zhoie's neck is bent...that will be seen with the flouroscopy. IF there is a separation, then that will tell for sure that AAI is the problem. If there is not a separation, then they will be doing a spinal tap to rule out the possibility of GME or other problem as a cause for the neck pain that Zhoie is having.

She also has a malformation of the skull which I am thinking might be chiari....Tena was not sure of the name; but she said they are not concerned about it.

She is pretty tired right now...not sure if she will be online but she asked me to update this thread. She sounded positive about all of this and is so thankful for all of the support and prayers by the YT community.

Thank you Linda. Continued prayers.

LuvTaycieGirl · 11-29-2011, 03:11 PM

Thank you for the update. More prayers

enchilila · 11-29-2011, 03:32 PM

Thanks, Linda, for the update. It sounds like Zhoie is in very good hands right now. Bless her heart for having to go through all of this.

Tena, I just now read that Zhoie is at the vet school neurology department having tests. Zhoie is always in my prayers. I know that God loves all of his little animals and that he is with Zhoie right now, and is also with the surgeons guiding them in the right direction.

Hang in there and try to get some rest. It's been a long week for all of you.

gidget529 · 11-29-2011, 03:56 PM

Thank you so much, LJ, for keeping us updated. I am glad Tena sounds well. I have been concerned for both of them.
