LadyBailey Posted November 3, 2007 Author Share Posted November 3, 2007 Carrier Update Nov 3 - 9:30 am my phone is acting up, so it didn't even here it ring when OSU called, but I just got the message from Emily. Carrier had a great night, ate his breakfast and then walked to do his biz and then walked all the way back- ALL BY HIMSELF :yay THe excitment in Emily's voice was hilarious - she's like, "He is doing so awesome!". They removed the drain and the dressing on insision an everything looks great. I get to see him today at 4:30! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadyBailey Posted November 3, 2007 Author Share Posted November 3, 2007 (edited) Carrier Update Nov 3 - PM visit Carrier met me in the reception area, without the wagon! AND... I got a big tail wag!!!!! He walked all the way from ICU to the front turnout area - for those of you hwho know the layout - that's a far distance. He took a pee and was ready to head to the car. Not so fast mister! We went back to the comfort room and Emily brought him some dinner, - which he jumped up for but didn't eat it all. His tummy looked a little full to me, so I asked to make sure if he was already fed - but he wasn't... although he has been getting these large meatballs of soft food with his pills, so he did have some food in his tummy. After he ate his dinner, he wanted to go out again. He took another pee and a poop. He hasn't fallen over yet and seems to really know what he's doing. He's already figured out how not to pee on his front leg! We went back to the comfort room and I could tell that he was a little uncomfortable with his tummy being so full, because he was sphinxing and just looking not so happy - plus he was panting from the hard work he just did - so the extra air intake wasn't helping. He burped and then laid down and fell asleep. But I could tell his tummy was really full. He burped again and let a little fart - I hope he will start to pass more gas to get his tummy settled soon. I asked if he was still in ICU, because I was expecting that he was moved yesterday, but he's still in there because the girls like him in there and he's really comfy so they don't want to move him - how sweet is that. Anyway, he is walking really well and I am really proud of him. He insicion looks good too. I am going to call for an update tonight around 9 to see if his tummy has settled and I have requested that they not feed him anything else tonight. He was looking really good yesterday but now he's looking a little tubby - which he really doesn't need. Tomorrow we go home, which will be really interesting. I know he is wanting to go really bad, so I feel guilty leaving him there tonight, but there are so many people around the hotel ready to party since OSU won the football game - I know he won't enjoy all the noise and commotion. One more sleep... Edited November 3, 2007 by LadyBailey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My blog about grief The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not get over the loss of a loved one; you will learn to live with it. You will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same, nor would you want to. ― Elisabeth Kübler-Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadyBailey Posted November 5, 2007 Author Share Posted November 5, 2007 Carrier Update Nov 5 Everything is really good. We had a good drive home, although it was after 9 when we got in and we were all tired. Carrier ate part two of his dinner when we got home and pretty much crashed on his bed. He was a little restless during the night - so we are tired today. When we got home last night, the pups were so happy to see him. Bailey gave him a good sniff and then grabbed her toy and ran around the house - Andy just sniffed him and wagged his tail - and Ella was a little unsure, but still very interested. Carrier jumped up the two stairs leading to the back door and did the same again this morning - both up and down. He is already laying on the other side - which is good because I think his body is sore from laying one side only. I spoke to Dr Couto this morning and he said he thinks Carrier had the Eureka moment on Saturday - when he realized that he didn't have that leg anymore. He is walking without any problems and doing his potty biz without any problem. It's great to be home, but we are tired - so I will write more later - but for now, he is good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
