thehouseofearl Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Target is going to OVC tomorrow for an MRI and I'd like to ask for some good thoughts and prayers to be sent his way. What started out as a slight limp a few weeks ago has become a problem with head tilt and balance. After 2 sets of x-rays showing nothing he is having and MRI. After his last set of X-Rays at OVC he did not do well with the anaesthetic at all. It took him 2 days to get over it. My top priority tomorrow is to do my best to make sure that doesn't happen again. Poor boy is gated in our dining room. It is open so he can see the kitchen and living room but because we have stairs to the living room we don't want him to hurt himself. When he comes down the stairs he leans on the wall and is very unsteady. So if you can spare some prayers for our boy I would appreciate it very much. Target has only been in our family 3 -4 months but he has captured our hearts. We love him so much. Liz Quote The House of Earl 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...

thehouseofearl Posted February 8, 2013 Author Share Posted February 8, 2013 MRI showed 2 items. A spinal tap was done and partial results show 2 tumors - 1 at the base of the brain, 1 on the spine in the neck area.. Tomorrow morning they will know what kind of tumors they are and have more information for me and an Oncologist will discuss options with me. If you can spare some more prayers for my big boy I would appreciate it so much and so will Target. Thank you Liz Quote The House of Earl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
