patricia Posted March 4, 2009 Author Share Posted March 4, 2009 (edited) I am home! My Flashy is SO sad...he keeps going to the door and I had to let him in the garage and in the van to convince him that I did not forget to bring Pavé in the house. What a LONG day! She handled the trip very well and was a good girl with the exception of trying to be co-pilot by trying to get in the front seat of the van as I am driving through Indianapolis during morning rush and in the dark. A big thank you to Suzy and Julie for being there with me...it made the waiting so much easier. As for Dr. Couto...what can I say that has not been said! I just LOVED him and so did "the girl" that's what he calls her..."the girl" Also Dr. Couto gives the most wonderful hugs just when you need one. She is having her surgery tomorrow by the surgeon that he wants to do the surgery. He also introduced me to the surgeon. They are going very deep and very wide for hopefully clean margins. He said she will have a zipper on her belly! He said her ultrasound could not have looked better and he did not aspirate any nodes as they were small they were the size of a grain of rice and he was very pleased! If pathology comes back as Grade 1...no further treatment except vigilent check ups for any masses and lymph node checks. If it comes back Grade 2...chemo. Stacy the nurse called while I was on my way home and said that Pav had eaten and all bodily functions were taken care of and that she has severe helicopter tail when anyone even looks at her. They gave her some babies to play with with. She will call me again tomorrow morning. One thing made me very sad on the way home...I just remembered that today is Pav's first Gotcha Day. There will be some new and special babies here waiting for her along with a big celebration when she comes home. Thank you for all the prayers and good wishes. Tomorrow is my Dee's lung biopsy and then Pav's surgery...I'm about nervous!!!!!!!! Sending my prayers for Miss Flippy! Denise...please tell them that you need to go and love on Pavé Maria since her Mommy can't! Edited to add: Pav WAS convinced that every single person in the waiting room was there to see HER! She also counter surfed at the desk and was into the cookies and she counter surfed in the exam room and was into those cookies as well! Dr. Couto said she walked in the back and promptly took someones bed! Edited March 4, 2009 by patricia Patti-Mommy of Lady Sophia 7-28-92 - 8-3-04... LaceyLaine 8-2-94-12-5-07...

HopeForHounds Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Didn't I tell you you would love him, Dr Couto is the best. You know I think the best thing he has instilled in his team and his students is a deep compassion and love for their cliets. They truly are special people. I'll be keeping you and yours in my prayers Patti, I know how very hard this is. Hang in there, if nothing you are tough.

packmom Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Thinking lots about "the girl" this morning. And for future patients you'll be glad to know there is a Dr. Couto Junior. I don't know what he will end up specializing in, but Dr. Galvao is fabulous! He has such compassion for his patients. He's in onco right now, I think. Dr. C has a name for him too. The Young One! When we were consulting with them both about Leeanna Dr. C made the comment that it was a sad affair that my dog's health was in the hands of two South Americans. I'm glad it is!
