Guest Smiley Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 We just got our a.m. update and Smiley did well through the night. He was a little restless initially so they gave him a little sedation and he was able to sleep through the night. They will start to back off the heavy duty meds sometime today and get him up and walking. It's so hard to be 3 hours away, but I know he is in great hands. Sorry for the delayed update yesterday-we spent the entire day at OSU and then with the 3 hour drive home we didn't get in and have dinner until 8:30 p.m. And of course we waited for our p.m. update to go to sleep. I'm trying to rest up now, but I'm still so keyed up that it's hard. And poor Peanut is really starting to feel the stress. She didn't eat much today which is VERY unusual, so hopefully spending lots of time with her over the weekend will help. I have her in at work with me today and we'll take a nice walk soon. So far, all is well. We'll be spending the weekend prepping the house. Thank goodness Pete is Mr. Handy-he will spend Sat. constructing a temporary ramp until we get good thaw and we can install something permanent. And by temporary, I mean that he will have some sort of super-structure built now until he can render his own little architectural drawings for something spectacular in the spring . Thank you all for the continued good thoughts and prayers-it has truly helped us get through this last week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DundeeToddsMom Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Prayers continuing for Smiley and family. We have a ramp going out our back sliding patio doors for Todd - it would normally be about three steps down. This way he doesn't have to deal with steps on a daily basis...he comes running up that ramp from the back of the yard so happy...you'll be surprised what Smiley will be able to do. Todd's goes out in the back chasing squirrels with the rest of the gang...it won't slow Smiley down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest wholovesskunks Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 I am so very happy things are going well. You are so lucky that you are close by. I am green with envy……… Give your little Peanut hugs and kisses from me, this is a lot of stuff going on for a little pup and mine would be going crazy licking himself! LOL! I’ll keep checking back- my prayers are with you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greyhndz Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Oh, Beth! I just now found this thread about your sweetie. You must be SO relieved to have the surgery over with, and know that Smiley will be back home snuggling with you again very soon. There are definitely angels working at OSU, but there are also angels coming to stay with you and giving you endless support while you're waiting. I wish you were closer - I have a ramp I never use but it sounds as if your DH is going to be creating a ramp masterpiece as soon as weather allows. Big hugs to you and gentler hugs to Smiley so I don't knock him over. Jordan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Smiley Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 We got another update from OSU and they told us that Smiley took a few steps already! !!! They had planned to just wheel him out, but found that with a little help he was able to stand and take a few steps! I wanted to cry when she called us. I am so thankful for this piece of good news!

Guest angel Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 (edited) Went through this five months ago. My husband built a ramp on the back deck, but Dash didn't need it for long. He also built a large wooden step, which I covered with non-slip backing (used for area rugs) so he could jump in and out of the car. I only use it now when it is slippery outside. I got lost of runners to cover slippery floors. It will be rough for the first two weeks, but it will only get better. No regrets!
