UPDATE FROM HILDA -- Dr. B found a small growth on Dear's liver and he is trying to get it all. She is encouraged -- of course the big fear was that he would find massive cancer and there would be nothing to do. So good news so far...

I'll update again when I hear more.

Okay, he is out of surgery and his mommy is petting him! Dr. B removed the tumor and infection and the tumor is off to the lab. So yayyyyyy for Dear!!! He is such a sweet boy...

I'm home, I had to leave him there of course & that made me cry too. So we got the tumor & its off to the lab, results will be here on Friday. Dear won't go home before Friday or Monday.

I got there about 9:30 this morning & I sat on a stool with him leaning on me, then he straddled my leg & put all his weight on me....

I could tell something was different. He seemed depressed. Dr. B said he noticed it too & we both noticed his tummy was extended. Later he chose to lay down & he kept looking back at his tummy...as if in pain. My mind started into a whirl, should I skip the surgery & let him cross?

The surgery was scheduled for 10, but was delayed because of all the other things going on...it started a little before 11. He told me; when I open him up, if I see that its cancer...I'll stop the surgery & come get you. Twenty minutes passed. Thirty minutes passed, no word. Finally 40 minutes passed & his surgical nurse came out...there's a growth...he's trying to get it all, we've got about 15 more minutes.

Thirty more minute passed & Dr. Blackburn came out, he gave me a quick grin & then plopped down on the seat & said I'm happier than I was an hour ago.

The tumor was about the size of a cantelope/honey dew melon...where he had it hidden I don't know. It was attached to his liver & close to some large veins. It wasn't attached anywhere else & there were no other growths on any of the other organs. The tumor had become infected & there was pus...

I went to the "recovery" area & sat with Dear until he started to try to sit up & then I left. They had him covered with some warm blankets & about 45 minutes after surgery he looked over at me & he had this look like: Mommy...did I catch the rabbit? I said yes Dear...you sure did. He laid his head down & then looked at me: Mommy...did the rabbit kick me in the tummy cause I feel like a truck ran over me instead!

He has over 50 staples just on the outside...he told me to tell Joseph of Batmom that they're going to compare scars. He has over 50 sutures on the inside.

We're not out of the woods yet, but we're more than 1/2 way there.

Thank you Jesus...and thank you everyone for your love support & prayers!

I will keep updating you all.

Holy petunias. Been watching all day for news. You guys will have us beat paws down for scars and such, no contest at all.

 

Will be keeping up the prayers that Dear and his momma get through this with no setbacks at all. Don't know if momma likes scritchies or only hugs but sending some of both anyways.

That sounds like pretty good news, although I'm sure glad those 50 Office Depot staplers aren't in my abdomen. <shiver>

 

I hope the lab report confirms Dr. B's judgement, and that Dear is home with his brothers and sisters very soon.

I'm happy to hear that everything went well-now praying for a good lab report. He sounds like such a lovebug.

Wow, that is a big hurdle to be over. I can't imagine how hard it was for you to sit there waiting for word about your boy. But that is encouraging news.

Continued prayers for Dear to be home soon and on his way to recovery.
